OK I have a honest request for you guys.

I have a friend, his name is Russell, who was in a dirt bike accident about this time last year. His neck was broken and he is paralyzed from the waist down and only has very limited partial mobility in his upper body. He has no sense of feel in his fingertips but he can move his arms and hands and has some feeling in the beefy part below his thumbs. He is confined to a wheel chair at all times. He is a married man in his mid 30s. He obviously cannot work and his lovely wife must stay home to care for him.


Thing is, He is also a VERY good RC pilot, and was beginning to compete (and win) at pattern last fall before his accident. So far he has not been able to fly due to his accident, at least not yet. But he is wanting to try again really really badly. We have talked about finding a way to modify his transmitter sticks and or mfg a platform that we can sit on his wheelchair so that the can fly. Im not sure that he is realistically ready yet to take the sticks even on a buddy box but he can work on a simulator as long as he wants to sit and try. Last night he and i got online and I showed him some videos of Aerofly Pro Deluxe and he was pretty excited about it,



What I was wondering is if anyone might have a complete flight simulator setup they could donate for him. I would like to see him get Aerofly pro at least but if not that then at very minimum G2 with the complete setup. I dont mean to be picky but I would really like an original version in good shape so that he has a quality tool to work with. This would be great for his mind and body by allowing him to get back to his passion, which is honestly RC flying.

If any of you have upgraded and have a slightly used copy or know how we might get ahold of a copy for him that would be so great. You guys would get the credit, Im just the messanger. One of the latest and greatest would be even better but its not a must. If we could just get a good solid setup that would be super. Ask around and see what we can come up with if you will.

I dont want make him to feel uncomfortable, he doenst even know Im doing this. So Im not going to try to prove Im telling the truth, you are just going to have to trust me on this one. But if there is anything any of you can do to help I think it would really make this guy an extremly happy camper and I really think it would be a great rehabilitation tool for him and maybe lift his spirits a little..

Sincerely,
Mike East
