Wounded Wars Project fly high over McHenry

By Bob Fischrup

The Chain-O-Lakes Eagles RC Club of McHenry Illinois sponsored a special day for the Chicago based Wounded Warriors Project on Saturday June 16. Members of the Eagles pooled their resources and time to create a day of fun and enjoyment for the Wounded Warriors and their families.

The Day was filled with Eagle members flying various types of aircraft and helicopters. Flight demonstrations of skilled aerobatics were performed by talented Eagle pilots. Computer flight simulators stations provided the opportunity to test the skills of the attendees. After some time on the simulators, all were encouraged to test their talents to fly real RC planes. This was accomplished by using a “buddy box” setup, where two controllers are used. One by the attendee and the other by an experienced Club member. Their flying skills were certainly challenged.

To top off the day, lunch was provided for all. This truly was a memorable day for our Wounded Warriors and their families. We thank you for your service.
