No, Normally I don't pay too much attention to advertizing copy. My local Hobby Shop carries a full line of materials (still), and so I buy what I can see, touch, smell etc. Also, I happen to believe in supporting those who remain here for us. Why would I want to wait for several days to recieve a shipment from a jobber that is out of state, when I can take an enjoyable drive to the LHS, mingle and commune with those who have a like interest, chew the fat with the shop owner, and take my purchases with me when I leave? Oh, he does meet any advertized prices. All that, plus he's open extended hours Monday through Saturday. He carries virtually anything and everything that you would wish to have for the hobby.

What part of the hobby drives my interest? Scale modelling Golden Age planes. Attending Top Gun, and Flying my Scratch and Plans built models. I don't ride a bicycle any longer, and the free flight models can quickly get away further than I want to jog to get them. I get dizzy when I try control-line. So R/C is where my main interest lies. I don't build a flying cross type of model, so Scale it is.
