Default How does the economic situation affect the hobby?

Hi guys

I work in financial services and is very interested as to what is happening in the US economy and other economies.

Here in Australia things are not brilliant but the economic situation is probably not as bad as in US and Europe…..[]

I love the RC hobby and have been spending quite some money on it lately…… However due to the economic events worldwide I have started cutting my expenditures on the Hobby, ie no new boats or cars, less upgrades, etc.[&o]

Do you guys experience the same? How about hobby shops owners, are the sales still strong?

Hobby purchases I believe are strongly related to the state of the economy. Let’s hear your views.

Cheers

JC
