    Alert! Is HOBBICO Next? Hobbico files for bankruptcy

    I take responsibility for their demise-me, and hundreds like me. Do some digging and you will see that I run a little on line RC store that caters to a niche market. While I am not big on losing money-if I make a little, that is about all I ask. I have a day job and the RC store isn't it. My...

    Alert! Is HOBBICO Next? Hobbico files for bankruptcy

    While for the most part I would say any business going down is a sad thing but this is just the cycle of things. "Back in the day" where would you go to find any widget? The Tower Hobby catalog-prized by everybody and now we throw them in the trash on our way back from the mailbox. If you...

    For Sale DA 120

    I totally agree and maybe that is why I am so slow in pushing the fraud button. I have been to UPS many times and know how easy it is to put your address in the ship to box-that is my theory as to what happened but it would sure be nice to be contacted.

    For Sale DA 120

    I used a VISA tied to PayPal so hopefully the double layer thing will be a little extra protection.

    For Sale DA 120

    I bought it last Sun and I combined it with the 60 he also had for sale. He said he would get it out Mon. I did get a notice from paypal on Tues of a UPS tracking number so didn't think any more of it. Busy week so it didn't cross my mind until Sat that I hadn't gotten it yet so I ran the...

    Help! The difference between a DA85 and a DA100L.

    Not something I recommend practicing. Follow thru.... Oddly enough it started the next flip. Had it on an 89" AJ Slik-they really liked each other, the ZDZ50 that I originally had on it was a dog.

    Help! The difference between a DA85 and a DA100L.

    As for the DJ engine-I had a DJ80, it was an absolute brute. It had an attitude one day and backfired or something and broke a prop across my middle finger. No cuts or blood but gawd it hurt. Still have the knot on my joint

    I have an OLD CRRC Pro 45 which is what is was before they punched it out and made them 50's but it is not like this one at all. The thing is a tank that last me thru my first gas planes that are splatted all over the field but this engine keeps running. Right now have it on a Giant Big Stik...
