MESarcFF are real advocates for education in school and where it can lead. Jake Marshal should be awarded for his work on this program. I would really like to see him give a TED Talk about the program.
Yes, I have plans and hardware from MESarcFF to build this winter.

Thumbs up for the MESA Team,
I have build two of their designs yet. They are really great fun. I hope to see more fantasy planes in the future.

You can tell that Jake Marshall is the one who makes that program work. If all they had for resources was a box of dollar tree foam and an X-Acto knife he would teach them something and make it fun. What a wonderful program and what a wonderful teacher.

This is great! I wish a program like this existed back when I was in school.

There is always someone who tells you that the time when you were young and still going to school, was the best time of life. I actually disagreed until I learned about that class. Actually that whole MESA RCFF thing sounds like a plot of a disneymovie, like dreams come true. Great work guys!

Hey Mr. Marshall,
You guys have a great program there. No surprise that the results are so impressive.
Great design and build. Please pass on congratulations to Jake from us at a Farrell Area School District.
I am the Director of Buildings and Grounds at a small school in western PA and have been watching your stuff on the FT site. I am working with the physics teacher to get a similar program started at the HS level here. It is a slow start since I am the only experienced flier and builder and I was away from it for over 15 years. I spent the summer getting my wings back.
You certainly have set the bar high. We are looking at what you have done and hope to emulate it as much as our experience and resources will allow.
Great job!

I'd like to have a similar project with families of soldiers and other service members as well as with Wounded Warrior Project, for veterans with physical as well as psychological wounds from service to this country. As a RN working for Department of Defense treatment facility I see families and the soldiers on a daily basis and a project like FT connections would go a long way in reconnecting families and bring simple joy and pleasure to wounded soldiers.
