Went to that PIF thread mentioned above and read it through.
Hi there everyone. It's time for a PIF update. Back in post #649 RCU member Seebee1 asked the PIF if they could help him out with getting some kind of trainer set up. From the generosity of RCU and PIF we now have all we need to get Seebee1 and his kids started in the world or RC. We have a complete (radio, receiver, and servos) Futaba Skysport 4 channel radio for the plane. We have a Webra 50 motor for the plane. We also had one RCU member purchase a Sig LT-40 kit and the monokote needed to cover it with. Now with all the parts I will live up to my promise, I'm going to build this plane for Seebee. I plan to get to the point that when he unpacks it all he will need to do is charge the batteries, strap the wing on, put fuel in it, and fly.
I think that most people here on the PIF also follow the beginners thread. I'm going to use this plane for putting together a build thread, so everybody will be able to follow the build as it progresses. I encourage everybody to follow the build and post any comments or questions you all may have.
Once all is done, we're going to get this plane into the hands of a very deserving person who has served his country with honor.
Thank you to all the members that have helped get this project together and off the ground.
Ken

I did not know at the time what this was all about until I went and read that thread. To help out a guy who fought for our country and his loving family (who more deserving to help than them) it just touches my heart - you guys here in RCU are the BEST [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]. If I had known about this sooner I would loved to have helped.
Now that I know the details you can believe I will be watching this thread to the end - not just for my benefit of building the same plane, but to watch the progress of this well-deserving gentleman and his family's RC come to life.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL THAT HELPED THEM AND OTHERS IN THE PIF OPERATION. Keep it up!!!!!

Tiger,
As the creator of PIF, I can say this, YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET.
Go read the thread from the beginning.
Ken and I are working on a way to track everything and also to get Seebee his plane once it's done
Which reminds me, Ken, have you worked up a covering design yet?
