RE: 60 size kits for $300 dollars? crazy

Blue Jay models are producing Bridi kits,
Dirty Birdy 60 lists on their web site for $120.00 + $20 shipping.
Also, Juno RC Kits are reasonable if you like the style of models they sell.

RE: Which F-86 is this?

What you have there is an old Airforms F-86. The flat sheet stabs are what separates it from JHH' s F86.

RE: Is Hobbico Attempting To Monopolize The Hobby Industry?

Perhaps I wasn't technical enough in my wording. Ownership of the brand was not the point, but the elimiation of the competion is. "Monoply".

RE: Is Hobbico Attempting To Monopolize The Hobby Industry?

Point of fact, all the big hobby outlets are interested in is their bottom line. Buying out and reducing the competition is just part of the game. If Hobbico could get it's hands on Horizion or vis...

RE: Another arf front cover

Since the early 70's ARFs have been gaining ground. As a model builder (of 47 years) I say, "so what" if they take a photo of an ARF for the cover.

RE: OS 61SF Idle Problems

RE: OS 61SF Idle Problems

I had similar problem with my OS .60 w/pump. To really find out if it's a pump problem, try this first. Clean out the carb. ( Keep your fuel line attached to the pump and take the output line and...

RE: GP PATRIOT XL BUILD.

I went with Spring Air retracts because I had the on hand, but Robarts are just as good.

RE: Airplanes, Airplanes, Airplanes!!!

I've been at this hobby since I was 5 years old (1964). I've built and flown several hundred models, as long as there are nitro engines available or until I kick the bucket I'll be flying.:) If or...

RE: Why Doesn't The AMA and the Hobby as a whole market to minorities?

Oh, come on people... The AMA targets modelers and the curious in models. That's the extent of it. Manufacturers on the other hand target the cash customer. That's the demographics of it. So check...

RE: Why don't many people build RC airplane kits anymore?

RE: Wow, some of you are very bitter toward the AMA

I've been in this hobby since 1964, and this is how I see it.
