Today we started for the first time the engine on the 701 that the kids built at Central Kitsap Junior High School!
The engine is a Revmaster VW conversion that was donated by its previous owner.
If you are not familiar with this airplane, it was built entirely from scratch by Junior High kids.
The website is still up even though the program was canceled.
I wish the Kids could have been here today to see this!

They worked very hard for this day and none of them were here to see it.
Thanks to the new principle and the new shop teacher who was some how threatened by the extra curricular program.
I am sure the kids are much better off building bird houses. 
any way, IT IS ALIVE!
I feel a some what sour success.
I will post a you tube Video next week.

Sorry to hear about the end of the program, it was a very good idea. Still, the kids who participated are much better off for the experience. I doubt that many kids get to help build something of this magnitude. Please tell everyone involved that I applaud there efforts and vision.

Thank you Kevin,
I agree with you whole heartily.
That is why we are going to try it again!
My wife Just started a Non-profit for young girls.
She deals with "girl issues" like positive self esteem and stuff like that.
We plan to help the girls build a 601 that was started by the CKJH kids.
It is a really good cause and I hope it goes well.
Her website is www.ourbeautiywithin.org if you are interested.
I hope to teach the kids some cool stuff like welding, machine work & and of coarse sheet metal fabrication. If they learn how to use tools and think like problem solvers they will be well ahead the rest of their pier groups.
Anyway, take care,
Brady
