So tonight I was doing some hobby searches and I found a video of a modeler who modified a XTM MMT to reach top speeds of 75mph+++++. This is crazy, a monster truck is insane at this speed. Click here to check out the video. Pretty cool and this is what makes the hobby so cool. If you can dream it, you can do it. From plastics, to helicopters, to cars, to planes, to boats, the hobby has something to offer anyone who has imagination. Very cool indeed. Let me know of any cool projects you are working on as I am interested to know. Take good care.

Hi,
Im an avid sailplane pilot/builder/ designer and just wonder what happened to the great sailplane kit selections Hobby People used to have. One in particular is the GIGOLO aerobatic model.
I knew the original designer of this plane, even scratch built one prior to HP taking on the kit. Slope aerobatics is really starting to get into swing in 2009 with a great future ahead it appears.
Another question i have, does Hobby People (old Hobby Shack) still own the rights to this plane? If not i would be interested in speaking to whomever in order to revive this great flying plane. I have also revived the GRYPHON flying wing of late (video on my website) with the authorization from its owner.
Thanks for your contribution to RC and may the future hold bright during these times.
