OK everyone. I think it's time I update you as to whats been going on with this thread and present some numbers to you.

As of today. this thread has provided the following. Most of it was never made public since this kind of thing was to be handled privately between the two parties involved and with some very minor exceptions it has worked wonderfully. he munbers below are by no means accurate but most likely higher

At this time this thread has given away 16 complete trainers that included everything right dwn to the transmitter and fuel

Approx 40 engines have changed hands

21 radios with receivers and servos

Countless hours from members offering to help train, build repair and anything else that have followed through

$375.00 in donations.

Countless props (I personally have shipped roughly 50 props of all makes and sizes up to 13 inch)

I cannot believe the generosity everyone has shown and I would like to thank you all for keeping this thing going

I have never asked for any knowledge past what I read here and never will. When donations are sent the people that have donated will be contacted and all must agree on the use I propose before anything gets spent.

These rules have never changed and will remain as they are because it works. You are more than welcome to go back through this thread. I have posted the rules in a few places.

Just as a reminder, if you are giving something away via this thread, do your best to get all of the information you can before you make a decision. Sometimes things can turn out to be different than what it seems just by doing a little research.

The only real rule of this thread has always been this:

If you receive something from this thread then you are asked to Pay it Forward in any way you can in the hobby. It can be as simple as you want or as involved as you want. That is completely up to you but in the spirit of the thread please do something.

Thanks...
