Right now the only one I have looked at was Hobby People. Magnum .91 Fs for $140.00, Magnum .46 for $50.00 and some car stuff. There are a couple good deals on servos too.

Not very informative ad though other than an acknowledgement that the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday. I know last year NP had some pretty good deals on the cheep foam stuff if you like flying disposable coffee cups.

Some of those coffee cups have lasted me years of fun. Try flying your balsa straight into the ground and putting it back in the air in minutes.

I will counter this challenge with, try not to fly your plane straight into the ground.
All in good fun... no slight intended.

I wish we HAD a LHS. We had two, lost both last year.

Tower has some pretty good deals.. but I find it tough to hang around Tower Hobbies and shoot the breeze, ya know?

JJ213, they will post it on the web soon. I got the flyer and the sale starts on 11/27. So the prices should be changed then. I all ready have rain checks for the .91 and the .46. They had them in stock but I did not have enough of the ugly green paper with pics of the Pres on them.

Hobby People is having what they are calling there 12 hour blow out. Don't get too excited though, it's just there normal holiday sale items but they are trying to make it look like some very special deals but it's just there normal sales prices put on the first two pages. Powermaster 20/20 for $20.00, that's the normal sales price. I do see the .46 AX engine for $115.00, the Magnum .91 FS for $140.00 and the Wasp .061 { I may get one} for $40.00. Not all HP shops have this sale, it's a west coast thing plus you have to read the disclaimer on the back of the page. These stores may only have one or two of the sales items in stock and no rain checks or they may not have them at all. My local pilots figured this out on one of there big sals some time ago. You call first before you go and find out if they have an item. Sometimes you have to call while you are outside the store and walk in while you are talking and the guy is confirming they have the item or they claim they just sold the last one. Good luck with your Hobby People Black Friday.

The Hobby people ad is up. I think the .91, .46 is about the only real good deal. I picked up the .46 on the last sale for $47.00 though.

HK is good but the shipping has gone up.

Yep, looks like a regular weekly special to me. Of course tower is always putting stuff on sale and offering good discounts. I just used two $60 off codes to save $120 on my Revolver .60, engine and servos.
