What did Gene say when he saw what you�d done?

We knocked out a small model and went to Solo and Gene and Mr Katz and some of the others from the network came in the next day. They started out just saying they felt we had something. I pulled the model out. We had a put a little hook in the top of it with a string, but I was holding it underneath. It was made out of balsa wood, except for the two engine pods which were stock birch dowels, which are much heavier than the other wood.

I held it up and Gene took it by the string and it immediately flopped upside down. He liked that better. I didn�t. That was one of our biggest arguments which I won, and then when the show hit the air it was on the cover of TV Guide - printed upside down.
