The RC hobby has definitely been a big crutch used to escape all the tension from the craziness going on in the world right now.

I enjoy building as much as flying, and fortunately I've been lucky to do both without missing a beat. While I admit that I'm an addicted tinkerer making "homebody" a welcome nickname, I can't imagine pushing through a world void of sports, cinema, nightclubs and other entertainment venues without a hobby like this.

That got me thinking...

I can help others maintain a little bit of normalcy, find entertainment, and keep this hobby alive. I quickly collected my stash of trainers, RTF planes, unused remotes, dusted them off, got them air-worthy, and found some friends, family, and co-workers with children that might have interest and handed them over. So far, I've gotten three new families into flying, and it's become a family affair for all of them.

If you've got some old equipment that could be used to get someone up in the air, there's no better time than right now give it a shot! You won't get a more captive audience than right now!
