September 18th, Squirrel kits not received yet Here’s a comment I received from Jon: “The strike here is planned next week but I learnt that a series of wildcat unofficial strikes have been happening…..”

So I boxed up another order for him and sent it by Purolator service, 2 business days. The bill was $94.00CA.

September 22nd Squirrels finally arrive:

Hi Darcy,

I received the 2nd consignment today via UPS. The first bunch has not yet arrived. I will let you know as soon as they turn up. I am busy trying to sort out a visit from the BAE Spitfire on Saturday. If it flies over I will send you some footage!

A test build commences tonight with my six year old son…..

Regards
jon

 

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!
