Hi everyone!
I've been browsing the forum as a guest for a month or so now and finally decided to join. I'm 38 yrs.old and was diagnosed with "clinical ALS" in Feb. 2006. The Cleveland Clinic confirmed the diagnosis in May, 2006. I was able to continue working as an armed guard until October, 2006, when I literally collapsed at work. I'm stubborn and refuse to quit until I can no longer do whatever it is I'm trying to accomplish, what can I say? :mrgreen:
Anyway, I'm an avid Radio Control model aircraft pilot. Now that I can no longer walk, it's darn near impossible to go to the local flying field and participate. The carrying of equipment,etc. Heck, even getting to the field is extremely difficult, let alone lugging stuff part way into what's basically a farm field in a manual wheelchair is an exercise in futility.
My question is, are there any other R/C enthusiasts on the board? If so, what solutions have you come up with to continue with your hobby?
Thanks all!
Greg
