[NSRCA-discussion] Mac Hodges

[John Ford]

I was at a huge Hobby Town USA in the Atlanta area last year…a large as a grocery store. Even at that, 80% of the floorspace was dedicated to other hobbies and crafts. The RC section was small and a very small portion of it dedicated to a limited selection of small electric ARFs. 
In a very large market with several active clubs and almost year-round flying season, this is indicative of the direction of the market. 
The modest local hobby shop in Kansas City that I go to, is about the same floorspace ratio, but with a super-active hell counter, and sizable selection of electric ARFs. 

The only things I buy there are glue, carbon fibre, and a few odds and ends in a pinch.
