Wade,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=586130413-07112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I Would be
very interested to know more about your program. I live in the Midwest and
we have programs which are utilized locally....EAA Young Eagles, our Skyblazers
club has RC trainer nights and days at the field with club airplanes and
generally encourage flying type programs. I 've done delta darts, but
I'm interested in your program, it sounds great. Can I get more
info and some ideas from you on manpower and facility support requirements
for those youngsters you're reaching?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We can always use help as some of us are aging a little
bit. We have done it for 5 years so far. It was written the 1st year in
MA July 2000 edition. Where do you live?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You and Ron are the only ones that ever responded
to my posting. We get 100+ emails every month on the sad state of pattern and
how we can help. Yet, when something is this successful is
presented, it's silence.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have been following Ron's thread about going
to schools for demos. Here is our story (SLO Flyers). It is extremey
successful and may give you some ideas on how to reach out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>For the last 4 years our club put in a 2
one-week classes, we call the Flight Summer Academy, at Cal Poly
Institute at San Luis Obispo for 8-14 year olds. We average 15
youngsters per class. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This activity costs about $250/each. The kids pay
$100. The rest is sponsored by SLO Flyers, Cal Poly, Industry grants
(Northrop and Boeing) and also AMA grants. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The kids are very motivated and learn building
skills, basic aero/structural concepts, mass/stability of models to
optimize flight times, fly control line every morning, and projects they
take home, culminating with Saturday at our field flying RC, and a day
at SBP airport getting a flight over their own town given
by the Experimental Pilots Association. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Several have become proficient pilots, though
intermitently. Some others we see afterwards from time to time, but they
are so busy with school, sports and growing up that they hardly have time
to continue in the hobby. Maybe later.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We intend to continue this activity until/if the
kids stop showing up.</FONT></DIV>
