Hello all!
I have been a member of this incredible family for several years and I have learned a lot and intend to continue to do so. Today I am very grateful to all those members who have helped me to stay in the hobby with their incredible donations, they know that any piece no matter how used it may seem looks like a treasure to me. To all those who responded to this call I made in 2019 , thank you very much to Mike, RockyBoy, Fred, Daniel and others, because not only have I obtained the electronics that have helped me keep going but I have managed to find great friends, and that in my opinion is the greatest accomplishment of the Flite Test Family.
I have managed with these donations to not only progress myself, but to help some friends in the hobby who are trying to get their models on the air. For those who don't know me, I live in Cuba and to make a long story short, there are no hobby or material stores here and we can't buy online either, so we depend on our friends and/or family abroad. Until almost a few months ago there was a law that prevented the importation of almost everything related to aircraft and RC for fear of Drones, and therefore send a package was extremely complicated. Some of my friends who helped me from here had to receive their package back from Cuba because the customs office did not allow it
.
But the good news is that this law was abolished a few months ago and i can now import almost everything related to RC airplanes, even complete kits.
With this in mind, and thinking of all those friends who approach me daily looking for a way to start or stay in the hobby, I was wondering if any of you would be willing to contribute something that you feel you will no longer use and can donate. Keep in mind that even if you don't think it has value to us, it does. Just to give you an idea, my friends fly with 4 channel 72MHz Futaba radios and are lucky to have them, a 2.4GHz radio is a fantasy. My idea would be to collect all the donations in Florida at my father's house (16505 sw 104 ct, 33157, Miami, Florida), his full name is Rodolfo Díaz and then find a safe way to get them to Cuba.
What do you guys think, help me grow my local RC community???
Thank you so much for your time reading this!
