RE: Post Xmas deals
I just got the new (March 2010) issue of Model Airplane News yesterday, and it has a Hobby People ad in it for prices good Jan 10th through February 28th. The Magnum XL .52 RFS will be on sale again this year, this time for $79.99. I already have two of these absolutely wonderful 4-strokes, and at that price I'll likely pick up one or two more.
They will once again be offering the new Airtronics SD-10G radio system with the 7-channel 2.4Ghz FHSS receiver (just one receiver) for only $349.99.
If you're looking for an advanced radio system or a terrific engine for your .40-size planes, both of these are spectacular deals!
