Model airplane workshop with Leadership Ottawa at Aviation Museum

Leadership Ottawa is an organization that broadens individual leadership skills and helps build vibrant and healthy communities. It is focused on the well being of communities and individuals.

I had the pleasure of sharing model aviation with them at their Exploration BBQ. We had about 35 people and we built about 20 aircraft!

They are having another BBQ soon so I hope I a few people bring their planes make more photo and video submissions!

 

Workshop with Leadership Ottawa

I got this comment back after conducting a workshop for Leadership Ottawa:

“Thank you Darcy for your unbridled, uncomplicated, straightforward, heartfelt enthusiasm! I love your wonderful energy to making this flight for the Leadership Ottawa cohort a unique one… thank you for reminding everyone that powered by imagination the sky is truly the limit…! ” — Bart Baaker, Leadership Ottawa

 

John Cooper takes a look at the Squirrel

John is a model airplane expert from the Ottawa Community.

We had a chance to do a few flights and consider the various design choices. Its great to get review of the design from such an experienced modeller.

John has experience with kids so I value his opinions very highly! He does volunteer work for Cubs.

John’s Web site is on scale modeling and is at scaleflight.net. He has quite an array of amazing models!

Here’s one of several flights I did. It hit the ceiling and then went into the stands. John climbed up the wall to get to the rafters. Thanks John!
