Well, for me at least. Or maybe just a temporary delay, but for now there is no R/C plans for me. You see, I have lost the closest friend I have ever had to heart attack this 9th of May. Not only was he my dearest friend but he was my employer (I was his live-in Personal Care Attendant) as he was severely disabled. Combined income we have lost over $2000 monthly and I have to get back on my feet again as well as get my family going on again as well. I am forced to sell my R/C airplanes and equipment as well as personal household things, but I am keeping the last gift he ever bought me for my April 26 birthday, my Sig Somethin’ Extra kit and accessories. I know that is not the plane I should keep as I have never flown yet and will not until things are looking up for me and my family again, but I am keeping it for sentimental reasons, and I will begin building it now instead of the near future as originally planned, so I can get it completed in memory of him. I am in severe need of cash to save my house and my family’s home and get our lives together again, but I will attempt to find time to get this built for him in his memory.

I am not seeking sympathy, and I am not deleting my membership here at RCU, I will still be active here. I just wanted to say how much I have appreciated all the advice, opinions, suggestions that have been given to me and just plain friendliness from RCKen, bruce88123, Sticktickler, MinnFlyer, Insanemoondoggie, Mr67Stang, elenasgrumpy, and so many others of my fellow members here.

Thank you all again. Keep flying and enjoy all life has to give, my best friend certainly did – he will be surely missed may he R.I.P.

I am not giving up, just getting my life and family’s back together. I will be back to building and eventually flying.
