Watch and see what happens to RJ Gritter when he is suddenly faced with his own one-wing challenge at the RDRC Fly-for-Tots in Raleigh NC.

When I got to work today I had a couple of fellow employees say they had a great time at the FFT. In fact, we might get a couple of new club members since two of their kids expressed real interest in getting planes and learning to fly.

Not only did we raise money for a good cause, this event has done a lot to promote model aviation!

Thanks Bob.
I know your very proud of Matt, he did an awesome job. It was our honor to hang with all of ya!!
Congrats again to RDRC!!!!

To the RDRC members who made it possible...What a awesome event and most of us didn't have to drive several hours to be a part of it! I will have to say, short of Joe Nall, this is where it's at!!!Awesome demos and great food, fun, and fellowship...what it's all about. I sort of wish I would have carried a plane over to fly, but I was feeling lucky and wanted to have the space available to carry that Dalton Extra combo home. I was disappointed terribly not to have won anything at all after a significant investment in tickets...but it was very shortlived when I realized why all this was taking place. I then felt happy to feel I had a small part in doing something special for the wonderful children that will benefit from what took place this weekend. Some of us are just more fortunate than others and it is nice to see the more fortunate take it upon themselves to do something special for others that will benefit from it. Just my .02 cents.

Guys...JOB WELL DONE!!!
