Sport_Pilot, Your characterization of the Perry Show as a " junk show" is unfair to the event. It is no different than any other model airplane swap meet, yes there is junk there but there is also some great buys to be had on some very nice models. It runs the gamut on all types of model aircraft, and all levels of quality from worn out ARFs and poorly built kits to masterpieces. It's up to the buyer to shop wisely. There is always NOS kits in the box, half built kits, new in the box ARFs, used ARFs, some good some not so good. It's mostly RC planes but some control line stuff can even be found. Scale, pattern, normal sport stuff, giant 3-D stuff, electrics, its all there. Parts supply venders with RC hardware, batteries, building supplies, engines, you name it, it's there. It can be a fun experience wither you find a gem to buy or not. Don't just blow it off as a "junk show" if you haven't been there, it's what you make of it. Take a ride down I-75 this weekend and have some fun walking around window shopping (bring a little cash with you just in case you find a treasure).
