I remeber seeing this vidoe playing ay my local hobby shop. Joes hobby at wyoming and tireman in dearborn played this video . I was into RC planes at the time and just watched it when i was there. Now the planes are gone and
I have a blackfoot. Just brings back alot of memories. I still live in dearborn and joes is not here anymore . If you were into RC they had it ALL . Now the hobby shops here in mich. don't have anything in stock.

Alas, that is the case here in the UK too. In fact many of the hobby shops have gone the way of the dodo. Real shame, they used to be such exciting places to go....

That seems to be the mind set of all hobby shops these days? and they wonder why they dont sell anything? I say 90% of this hobby is impulse buying. if its their I will buy it and dont mind paying a little more to feel it and see the quality in my hand. I use to tell my hobby shop if I have to order it I didnt have to burn 10dollars worth of gas to do that. it is to easy to just push the button and have it delivered. they want us to support them they should support us? just my 2 cents

The "we can order it for you " is just getting old. True most stuff can be ordered on line .
