    Hey everyone,

    As some of you may know or not know Tim(IFLYOS) and I have had a big project in the works for sometime now. Well on Dec. 6th it came to life!!

    Wings of Inspiration had its first indoor show on Dec. 6th, it was very special and a wonderful time, and it just so happened that it had been exactly 2 years on that date that me and Tim first met, man we come a long way since then huh! Brother Tim.
    Tim and I as some of you know we both part of a AMA show team, me for 3years and Tim 2 years. We where able to fly demos up and down the east coast, and in the middle of doing that we where able to throw in my story and use it for inspiration. Now that show is no more, me and Tim didnt want to stop what we where doing. We both had seen the good and we have bunches of stories. So we created Wings of Inspiration, with the goal to Inspire people of all walks of life and age, that anything is possible and never give up, share the fellowships with others and promote the hobby the best we can.
    With the help of our familys and new Team member Ricky and his family it has come to life! A little info on Ricky, he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy in 2007, so not only do we share that bond but he also shares our vision! Dec. 6th was just an awesome time, not only where we able to fly for the kids, all the kids got to fly!!
    I like to thank Crash for letting us announce Wings of Inspiration on his show The Crash Cast, thanks brother for your support! Also, brother Tim without you none of this would have been possible, thanks for believing in me and for the friendship and love, love ya man! I'm sure Tim will chime in and tell some about the event.
    Below is some pics and a short vid for ya'll to check out, when I get a chance I'll post some of the full length videos form that date. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy looking at the pics..

    those are a few of many pics that we got, I hope to mail Tim a copy of them soon so he can post some, my internet service sucks! So look for more to come.

    I thought ya'll would like to see the dog house skit, I had to use subtitles cause you couldn't hear me very well in the audio, but it worked ok I think. Hope ya'll enjoy!!

    Also I would like to add,

    I have a dream, to see this from the east coast to west and across the seas, so I challenge all that have read to start something like this where you are...the one thing I have learned is life is way to short, share it with others and I promise you it will change your life. So lets make it happen, nothing is impossible!! Who knows one day Wings of Inspiration goes national :D

    Hey guys,

    First off, let me say that it was great being able to finally be able to do the first "Wings of Inspiration" show. It went well, though Lucky and I are already looking at ways to improve it. The kids had a great time and took away an important message: "With God, all things are possible."

    I wanna say thanks to Mark and Trish for the moral support, and to Crash for his support and letting us talk about Wings of Inspiration on The Crash Cast. I also wanna thank Lucky for showing me that anything is possible, and for all his support and encouragement.

    Chris pretty well summed up the show, so all I really want to add is that we would LOVE to see some more of you guys doing something like this in your areas. If you have any questions on how to get started, feel free to ask. We will be more than happy to help you out all we can!!

    Tim

    Tim and Chris along with their families are truly amazing individuals. The efforts and time that they spend selflessly helping others is a true testament to their faith. Trish and I here at Phlatboyz truly are inspired by them and we admire them more than they know. They are not only brothers and sisters on the forum but in Christ as well. We pray the God blesses this program and the good that it does for all who are able to receive it. Super job guyz. Keep up the good work.

    Love you guys and all great things you do!
    Mark and Trish

    Wow, wish I was a few miles from MicroDan. I got one of his motors and it's amazing. You know that "Go Brushless" company that he took over was started in a garage, I hear, around my neck of the woods. Small world. :D
