HISTORY OF DIEHARD RC
DieHard RC started in 2015 with the first northwest indoor Turf RC Racing series. DieHard RC grew from 50 racers to over 100 in 6 months.  In 2016 we launched the DieHard Drone Racing Program which has been a huge success.  We had over 200 events and currently have almost 150 pilots who fly with us.  Also in 2016 DieHard Launched the Diehard Veterans Program focused on Veterans that suffer with PTSD.  Through this we have successfully launched the Build to Flight program which provides STEM Training, Mentorship and Community to Veterans and Youth. This has made a significant impact in the lives of these Veterans and we are so very proud to continue.   In 2017 we opened DieHard Family RC Park in Snohomish Wa. This is a place where families and people of all generations can connect in a fun and supportive community. In 2018/2019 we plan to continue our focus on education through robotics and drone flight training programs.  

Sadly on Sunday, February 10th, DieHard RC fell victim to a tragic and devastating event. The trailer where all their equipment is stored was broken into and everything was stolen. This equipment was the mainstay of the DieHard RC program. While cameras were able to capture a picture of the van the criminals used,  the chance of recovery of the stolen equipment isn’t too promising. This isn’t just some club, DieHard RC is a family community that always has it’s door open.  They are involved in teen programs, STEM,  youth and veterans and what has happened is beyond words devastating. So I’m reaching out to everyone.... to help get this wholesome, family friendly community’s equipment replaced so they can get back up and running. Because without it, there is no program.

Some of the equipment stolen includes:
timing system w/transponders
laptop
drones
novice/loaner RC fleet
