Wildo,
Thanks allot, that means allot to me and the club.
This all started in the late 80's
Not to get into a lot of detail. For 10 years I flew terminally ill children that came to Orlando Fl, for a well known charity in full size aircraft (mainly Cessna 182's) if they were able to get into the plane. Just seeing these amazing kids, their spunk and joy for life was an unbelievable lift to my spirits. Here you had children that knew they were going to pass away and out enjoying life just as nothing was wrong. I did this almost every day of the week. (We had a great sponsor for the fuel and aircraft)
I now see the same expressions doing what I do now and am considering talking to the same charity to do it again with R/C airplanes. It helps lift your spirits as well as theirs and in the end everyone has a good day.
I completely admire you for what you are doing and the club you went to needs a bit of an attidude adjustment.
RWfly,
That is way too cool. Props are cheap, having fun is where this hobby is at and it shows that you were having a ton of fun.
I still may be from the middle age crowd but fun is fun. I guess you could say the little boy in me is showing again
