When I was in Indy, we all use to hang out at Hobby R/C (Barb's place) and buy stuff and chat. The field was 2 blocks away and it was good to be able to fly and if you needed something to just go over and get it or if you were a regular and had a cell phone, just call Barb, buy the item, and have someone who was also a regular, drop it by the field. While the field is no longer there, we still drop around and chat from time to time. Without the shop, my RC experience would be missing something special
