Cultural wars, that is.
Teaching young people to build model airplanes provides them the confidence to do things on their own. It helps them understand that they can be self-reliant and dependent on themselves to think and create what they need. They learn fundamentals of technology and develop fine motor skills.

The kids are building a variety of rubber-powered free-flights including No-Cals (a Free-Flight version of our profiles).
They get a Flying Aces pin awarded after finishing their third build (and each is progressively more difficult to challenge their skills)
Junior High kids - they're fun!
