Charlie Cave heli donations idea

[moonmanflyer]

Right, as alot of you know Charlie smashed up his 700 well and truely at the weekend, and was a real shame as he was on fire and entertained the whole of weston Park with his antics.
Now as a spectator i think we were all a bit responsable for goading him on to do a monster blade stop, problem was the blades never re-started.
Now not only did the heli fall from about 300 feet killing it, but also wrote off some of the elecs as well.
Also the crappy old c-spec engine he is running is holding him back even with charlie's superb pitch managment.

So i have decided to start up a charlie cave appreciation fund, this is for anyone who wishes to donate to get charlie back in the air.

Now i would love this to get to being able to get him an 700le to replace his totalled 700 but anything that will go towards his costs will be a major bonus, any thing from a quid to what ever.
I am starting off by donating £10 myself.
So the running total is £10.

Now i was planning just to ask it to be put into my paypal account, but i think this is wrong and so am not so sure how to do it.

Maybe Rob Blake could run a fund with evo rc, or Adie at the HH

What i do not want to do is give Charlie the cash so he can spend it on beer.....lol, want him to get the bits/parts delivered to him

Will leave this thread open for comments, and ideas, and then start a new one this eve to run the donations proper

Right guys
Please paypal me:
jamesmoonATtiscali.co.uk (please replace AT with @)
I will keep a regular update on the running total.

Now have been thinking and want to get Charlie a 700LE combo so he has all the elecs and would love to have enough to get him a decent engine as well, so people please be kind and donate to a very well deserved fund.
Charlie is a poor student and can't afford to re-build this himself any time soon and so i want him to have the best chance of taking the inters title at the champs as possible with as much practise as possible
