So what did you see? Any cool new stuff?

RE: toledo
 

See?? Chuck, who cares what they saw, I want to know when they are sending us all those free samples they picked up!!!!:D

RE: toledo
 

man, there were no free samples. Its tight everywhere.

There was one company , that would set you up with a system that would feed back all the info. that your elect plane was going through. It gave Watts, Heat of battery , rpm.s , etc. much more. But the full system was about $200, it would be nice but not at that price.

That was great, got some good buys and had a good time.

No samples?? That removes a lot of the fun!!! Even the CES electronics show here in veags loads you up with cool stuff!! :eek: Kidding aside, were there any new kits worth looking at?? By new kits I mean different planes instead of the same old stuff that has been around sense time began.

I did not look at planes very much, I tend to buy too many when I really look at them.

I did buy a sky master rtf, I worked on them in Nam and this was a cool model and the price was great. Its a park flyer, and looks like it will fly in light wind. They said it was faster than they thought it would be, when they ordered them. I will put a pic on when I get a chance, too busy right now.

If I find the paper work on it (had to have them ship it as I did not get too them in time to carry one out), I will post who I got it from.

One thing agout it, they have the wing ends come off and the servo connections are built into the end of the halfs if you know what I mean.

Gray Beard:
the only things I saw that I would consider as a "new kit" were the models from WoW Planes. But I moved through pretty quickly.

That's if I ever recover! Whew! I'm getting too old for this! :D

All-in-all it was a good show. Not much in the way of new kits that I saw, not too much in the way of new glow planes either.

Futaba and Spektrum both had new S-BUS systems on display that were pretty cool. Just run one wire through your plane to control all servos
