RE: Hobbico/Horizon
I was also wondering about this. Here is some more fuel for the fire....I have attended the WRAM show for the past 6 years and never remember Horizon or H9 being there, however; Hobbico and their represented manufacturers have always shown up, i.e. GP, OS, Futaba, Top Flight, etc. All of a sudden, Horizon and H9 are showing up on the list for the WRAM show this year. Does that mean that H9/Horizon will be part of Hobbico moving forward???? Would not suprise me. I have no connections - just guessing like everyone else.

MinnFlyer, you are probably correct. The way Hobbico is growing though, I feel it may very well be another acquisition of some sort. But as I said earlier, I'm just guessing. We'll just have to wait until Thursday to find out.

RE: Hobbico/Horizon
Hobbico and Horizon are the two biggest players in the industry. If they were going to merge - no mater HOW much they tried to keep it a secret - there would have been SOME kind of indication that something HUGE was in the air.
My guess is they are going to announce a new product, or product line, or an acquisition of another smaller company. Certainly not a merger with their largest competitor

RE: Hobbico/Horizon
P51B, LOL - you made my afternoon. Perhaps we should start a contest and whomever guesses correctly gets some stock in the new newly acquired company or a free kit. I sure would like a new Top Flight, I mean Skyshark Dauntless kit in a scaled up 60 size package.
