I live in Western Mass, but I'm always traveling 91, 84, 95 so pretty much anywhere is cool.

there is one place in west springfield,ma off 91,off route 5. i cant think of the name. take the west spfld exit at home depot, go south on 5. take your first street on the right,the street not the entrance to the hotel. it will be on the right less than a tenth of a mile. they have trains,planes ,cars.don't talk to the owner about planes,he sold me the wrong thing. the guy to talk to is the shorter one with black hair. but knight hobbies knows the most about planes in the area. there in south windsor. good luck

Hi:

Knight's in South Windsor is out of business. The only others I could recommend are Time Machine in Manchester or Build Right Fliy Right in Wallingford. Also there is Hobbytown USA in Southington and R/C Hobbies out in Winsted.If you want some more info on these stores, just ask.

Thanks

Thanks Garry, I appreciate it. I found the Hobbytown just by chance on friday, but I'll have to check out the Winsted and Manchester ones next week.

Take a quick look through RCU's list of dealers, there may be one in there you could visit. At the top of the page, click RC COMMUNITY, then on the left navigation find and click "Find a Hobby Dealer" and search by country and state.

Time Machine in Manchester, CT offers a good selection and the guy, Wayne is very knowlegeable.

He's equally helpful with glow or electric

Is "Time Machine" in Manchester the place with the huge train sets on the 2nd floor?

Heightisgood

Yup...

Trains upstairs, RC stuff 1st floor in the back
The Train part with all the City scapes etc is only open on certain days - I'm not sure cuz I'm usually downstairs buying stuff for flying...

As far as I'm concerned, the best hobby shop in this area is Barn Speed Hobbies in Lee Mass. They are right in the middle of town next to the RR tracks, just up the street from Joe's diner. This place has a lot of stuff.

Since we're discussing Connecticut...

Any groups flying down by the shore anywhere near Madison? I have a couple of friends who would like to join a group locally and avoid a ride into Hartford...

Thanks in advance for the replies!
