Win a Green Flying Machine for Dad!

Our generous friends at Hobby Lobby have offered to donate one of their greenest flying machines to the person who tells us the most compelling story about their dad’s green efforts.

Here’s what they have to say about the prize:

There are many ways to enjoy the great outdoors. You can hike, bike, camp, swim, and FLY? Model airplanes have been around for many years. They used to (and still do) use nitro powered engines. Through advances in battery and motor technology, electric aircraft have sprung up and offer many advantages over nitro engines. Electric aircraft offer an eco-friendly way to experience the joy and allure of flight. Electric motors are super quiet, powerful, and make clean green flying machines. Imagine how fun a camping trip would be as you soar with the birds for an afternoon break. Never flown before? Our Wing Dragon HL is the perfect trainer and it makes a great companion to any family trip. With its simple setup and easy-to-fly characteristics, the Wing Dragon HL will allow you to learn quickly and have fun at the same time. You will charge the included Nickel Metal Hydride battery from a 110V house hold outlet which will provide you with over 10 minutes of flying time. So for your next big trip, don’t forget to take your airplane. It’s safe, it’s kind to the environment, and best of all – it’s FUN!

And all you have to do is tell us in the comments what your Dad (or your family) does to go green.

So, start sharing! We’ll pick one random winner on Monday and mail the plane then.
