Please Help Launie replace his burnt FPV Gear!

On Monday, December 19th, Launie Wade (aka Solenya), was getting ready to leave his LineX store and head home when he heard what sounded like something falling over in the shop. He opened the shop door to check on the noise and saw a giant wall of fire burning his building down. He called 911 and firefighters came to extinguish the blaze but unfortunately not before the fire completely burnt up his place of business, all of his FPV gear, and many of his personal effects as he had most of his life tied up in the shop. Note: The fire was NOT due to anything drone or Lipo battery related, right now they think a ballast for a light blew up. This would be a devastating event at any point, but it comes at a particularly bad time as Whooptopia 2023 is less than a month away, and Launie already had his plans for the event set and all race whoops built and tuned for the event, and now he has to start completely over.

If you know Launie personally, as I do, then you know how kind-hearted and generous of a person he is. He always will be the first to offer you any help he can provide and would give the shirt off his back to help others. He regularly puts the needs of his friends and family above those of his own and he never asks for anything in return. Anytime anyone's whoop doesn't work at a race, Launie always offers one of his whoops to allow the pilot to continue racing. At Whooptopia 2020 Jesse Perkins' luggage got lost and of course, it was Launie who gave his whoop and transmitter to Jesse so he could participate. And again just this past Sunday at our local race one of the pilot's whoops stopped working and Launie took this time to help them bind his whoop to their TX so that pilot could keep racing. Launie is one of the most selfless people I know and I am happy to call him a friend. Please help him recover in any way you can.

Please donate whatever you can to help Launie replace what he has lost and get enough equipment to attend Whooptopia 2023 and get his life back in order. He would do the same for you, no question.
