“I took up flying in the 70’s as a kid
This led me to 2 career paths in radar systems and computing from the interest this hobby gave me in flying and electronics and the knowledge to fix and repair then fly models
To deny this path to todays kids would be criminal.
I know of no other hobby that gives kids a grounding and skills in so many areas, skills industry is crying out for today and into the future.
Look what it did for Neil Armstrong!!”
