Default Need a Hobby Shop

We just moved to Hastings, Ne and have no clue where to find a hobby shop. I found the rc club but no one is everthere when I go there. Ironically the field is right behind my new place of employment. Can anyone tell me the location of a LHS? An internet search tells me that Lincoln is the closest area. 100+ miles.

Does the RC club have a web site? (Check to AAM directpry if you need to.)

Somebody on the site maybe to e-mail or call?

Here's the link to the club website, which I found through an AMA search:

http://www.hastingsrc.org/index.php?page=aboutus

It doesn't look like any of their hobby shop links are local. You may be doing a lot of mail-order. You should email a couple of the club officers and try to meet up with them. It looks like a nice field.

Good luck

You can also look up distributors like Horizon and they have listings of hobby shops that carry there products in different areas.

Thanx for all the suggestions. I have been in contact with the club treasurer of the Hastings Skylarks and found that there is a small hobby shop in Grand Island (25 miles) where I might be able to get some fuel anyway. Thnks again all and smooth landings.
