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!

Flying at the park

Well, this weekend, I only lost two Squirrels! Both flights were great and landed high in very high trees. I also managed to catch this flight on video.

Kathryn Allebone and I were able to prove that the Squirrel is easy enough to put together in a pub. No mess and no damage to tables because the only tools you need are scissors. Staff didn't mind and look what nice Squirrels we came up with!

Kathryn is going to be sharing the Squirrel design with her church. I'm looking forward to pictures and flying reports from that!
