2002 Tower Hobbies...Huge price increases on arfs

Just got my 2002 T.H. catalog. WOW!! Prices are up on alot of stuff including engines and radios. Buy that item you have been thinking about for awhile. Dont know when these will go into effect, if not already. Heres an example of a few things: G.P. ARF"s Shoestring...219.99-279.99
Spacewalker...219.99-279.99
Tiger Moth...279.99-319.99
AT-6...159.99-219.99
Cessna 182...179.99-219.99
Skyport 6 Radio...169.99-199.99
Fut. 6DA...179.99-239.99
O.S. FX 1.60 w/o muff. ...249.99-309.99
FX.46...109.99-129.99

Some Kyosho arfs went up too. Also, if you have been thinking about the GP Ryan STA- its up $50, so you'd better grag one quick.

Their yearly catalogue prices are always higher than the Tower Talk flyer that comes out every 2 months. The catalogue is a good reference for what they have in stock or available. Their website is the place to check for best price and availability, at least from my experience in the last 12 years.

I noticed that too. Usually the cat. prices are higher than what they generally sell them for-always look for specials!

Isn't it funny. Everyone seems to want more money. More! More! More!

Oh well. You'll have that.

T.H. Catalog

I know what you mean about more money. I have never had a hobby where I've spent as much money, but also have as much enjoyment. Oh, cant forgot that occasional frustration too!!!

The Tower catalog makes good commode reading material, that's about it. For ordering, the internet site is the only way to go. Nowadays, even the Tower Flyer is not a good place to check the latest prices, which can change daily. You owe it to yourself to check Tower's Daily Sale section at least once a week.
