I am sure she will take you up on that offer.....NOT.......offer her a puppy, a cute one no less
WELL, I offered my editor my collection empty 35mm film canisters....no reply yet, so I will hold out until I am " all in" by offering my collection of old AMA cards!

I can't wait to offer an opinion Jerry. You know how I feel about Hellcats! I'm confident that it will be at least as good as their other stuff. If that is the case then it should be a great choice straight out of the box for the guys that just want to go fly and an excellent starting point for the "bashers" like myself.

Actually it's the only way Hobbico can survive. Protection from creditors and time to restructure. Horizon changed a few years back to a similar model. They minimize their inventory levels and react to market trends faster. I'd say going into the future, if you see something you like, buy it now. If you really like it, buy another as it's likely to be gone very soon.

I'm willing to bet the cats are already in production and as soon as the first container is full they will start taking orders. But this may now explain why so many aircraft go out of production so soon.

For me personally there is a complete lack of pride in an ARF. I well remember getting a Hangar-9 Mustang around 2004, taking it to my local club field and positioning it on the flight line along with four others that looked exactly like it. No thank you. That could never compare to the respectful comments, questions and even a thank you from a WWII veteran when I took my Yellow Aircraft P-47 to the field and flew it during a public display in 2007. You will never experience that with an ARF. But, hey, that's just me.
