Speaking of schools, I would like to get more people involved in what I'm doing...

Almost all school districts have Adult Evening Courses. Starting next Sept I will be co-instructor for a course in RC Planes. The fee will cover a year of AMA and then they must come up with additional monies for an engine, radio, and Kit (Or they may bring these items from home if they already have usable equipment).

During the Winter, they will build a trainer with our help, and spend time on a sim. Once Spring arrives, we will buddy box them to solo.

Also, we are advertising it as a great Father/son endeavor

Minn,

Although I am on the other side of the country I'll donate some funds to this proect. I think this is a great idea
