I was just reminiscing about catalogs. I was getting interested in RC back in about '89, '90, and bought a bunch of catalogs. They all offered them for sale, and nobody had the 'Net. I ordered (for a few dollars each) catalogs from Ace RC, DuBro, Sig, and some others. I still have those catalogs, and refer to them from time to time.

Even then, Tower was sending free catalogs and flyers, so was Indy RC (or was it their predecessor?), and a few others.

Today, if you want plans you have to buy a plans list from RCM, MAN, etc. while Ziroli's plans (and Meister's, Don Smith's and others) are listed on the Web. I wonder how many plans lists they sell now. I wonder how many get ordered over the web.

Just depends on the ad budget, I guess. How much does it cost to set up a website and advertise?
