If you are into RC, April is really a big month. There are a number of shows that Hobby People is attending, Toledo this weekend, April 3rd, and RCX in Pomona California, soon after. Shows, while a lot of work, are one of the real highlights of being in the hobby. Seeing so many modelers cruising the halls, looking for their favorite companies, is just a very cool vibe. One of the great evolutions of these shows is the live demos, which give the experience much greater effect.
What else is happening, the US is thawing out and cars, planes and helis will be out in force at tracks, parks and flying fields across the US. We have been attending many club events and there is such a good feeling about the great products that are being offered and the chance to use them in good weather is just to great an opportunity to pass.
On another note, what is really interesting right now, with the slowing economy and ridiculous gas prices is that we are seeing customers come back who have been too busy doing other things. A good friend of mine called today and asked about some RTF planes and parts as he wants to get back to flying. Not one to pass on a chance to ask a ?, I asked why the renewed interest? He told me that the hobby is one of the best values, is great fun, and he can spend lots of time on it if he wants. With gas prices so high, he isn’t driving as much and the hobby is calling. Rock on!!! Glad to have friends coming back as RC is a great hobby.
Welcome back!!!
