Status: offline 		After being away from RC all last year, I have a LONG list (I will post later) including shopping for a new radio. I am thinking DX8, not sure. I have multiple kits here that I have accumulated that I need motors for, and a LONG list of various parts so I can take my pick for building next fall.

Whats on YOUR list for the show?

Amazing it's only 2 month away and they don't have a exhibitor list up yet

Status: offline 		Yes the exibitor thing bothers me too, but I am sure it will be up soon, I sent them an e-mail to see if they can tell me when it will be updated. I will have to see if planefunfloats is going to attend, after the earlier post, I guess I was assuming they would be there since i have seen them there in the same place for a few years now. They look like nicely made floats, and the website is still up, so I guess worst case scenario if he doesn't show, I may have to order. Maybe I will give him a call before the show.

Status: online 		Of course RCU will be at The Toledo Show again to cover it as we always do. Last year I was numb at the event because my best friend, Minnflyer, passed away 3 days before we were supposed to cover Toledo together so I really didnt even enjoy being there.  This year will be different for sure.  I plan on looking for deals on a couple gas engines.  I'll see what Hobby People has show pricing on.  Last Year I brought home 4 glow engines from them. So I'll see what they have deals on.  I usually pick up batteries at the show as there are usually good deals on them at the show. The other thing I usually stock up on at the show is Micro Fasteners.  I always take my shopping list and stock up to save on shipping

Thats about it for me.  Hope to see you all at The show

Ken

Status: offline 		Sorry to hear that Ken.....I know how hard it is to focus after losing a friend. I had a real hard time when a co-worker passed about a month ago, he was also an ATV'ing buddy of mine, and we had just returned from a great trip to the Hatfield McCoy trails in West Virginia, when 2 weeks later he was cutting down a tree by himself and his wife found him crushed under it when he didn't show up for dinner. Anyway.......

Fasteners is a must, always is, and servo extensions......I have a few gas engines I am looking for. And a couple glow engines too. Also some stuff from Fiberglass specialites (which reminds me I need to call them to make sure they have my stuff at the show, they usually pre-bundle it if they know your coming). I will have to see what gas engines hobby people carry, as I am looking for Gas engines too. I also think I may pick up an ARF from AeroWorks to put my Supertiger 90 in, as well as I need a frame for a stranded G-38 I have sitting here.

I am really hoping someone is carrying the NGH line of engines, I want to check out the 35, it looks nice, and I haven't read anything bad about them yet, it would fit nicely in a Spacewalker II I plan on building next fall.

Hope to see you there! (I always take a Vacation day on Friday and go then....less traffic!)

Dave

Ken, I will miss Mike also with the two of you giving me a hard time. It was sombering last year.

Status: offline 		What stinks is that I spend the better part of the last few weeks compiling a nice spreadsheet of everything I needed to pick up. I then researched the prices and found what everything was going for, so I had a good comparison list. Then......my laptop crashed, and I lost the entire file. So, a week and a new laptop later, i have to start the process all over from memory. Figures.......

Status: offline 		Your brave. I have went down there with not to much $ when my finances were tight, and I have been caught wishing I had extra because I came accross something I was looking for for a while, and missed out on a couple of kits that way. Any more though, everyone thinks their stuff is worth a fortune and they are going to retire on their sales at the swap shop. Deals are harder and harder to find.........

Status: offline 		Although Micro Fasteners is always on my list, I usually go to see what deals are to be found.

Last year, I got a decent deal on a 55cc gasser, and picked up a nice 4 stroke in the swap shop.

Electro Dynamics always have some neat stuff. Andy and Chris are always willing to help modelers solve their electrical needs.
