Just want to mention my favorite Hobby Shop. I got into RC late, just 10 years ago. I'm 63 now. I learned to fly at Hodges Hobbies in Americus Georgia. Full service Hobby Shop with a beautiful 3000 foot airfield and a pond for boats and floatplanes. This place is RC heaven. You already know this if you have ever attended the Southeast Electric Flight Festival. Mac Hodges owns and runs the place and his friend Buddy Curtis helped teach me to fly. Great bunch of guys.
