RE: WRAM Show
Last year they had a huge stack of models to sell throughout their booth. They must have had well over 140+ planes.
I arrived on Friday and I was planning on picking up a few planes there from them.
By Saturday afternoon they were down to less than half a dozen planes, and those mostly foamies.
I think they sold more planes than any vendor there, as most people got a chance to see the planes for the first time "in person".
Yes they are going this year, and yes they are selling planes again.

A really nice looking and flying plane.
I hear good things about the 1400mm planes but I don't have one... I tend to favor Balsa as I find it MUCH easier to repair.

RE: WRAM Show
I bought the P-47 and Spitfire airframes and put in my own gear (you know I have issue with the stock gear on the NP models although these seem to have decent equipment). I got the Spitfite first and have a lot of flights on it. On one of the first flights I got it too slow into a headwind and it dropped from the sky from about 35-40 feet up and landed right on her nose. Broke the prop and the ailerons and rudder hinges let go. Other than a few small wrinkles in the foam there was no apparent damage. Another time I misjudged her distance from a set of bleachers that were in the middle of the field and smacked right into them on landing. Broken prop and dented foam. A little spackle and paint and good a new. Easy to fly, easy to fix, looks great. I'm thinking a Corsair and I'm done shopping for a while.
I have the 800mm Spitfite airframe and it flies great too.
