What did you get at WRAM?

I was interested in a glider at the "swap & shop," but when I had the owner paged, he never showed up.

I did manage to get some 3000 NiMH Panasonic batteries for $4 -- I thought that was a deal.

I got dissed by som jerk in the Hobby lobby booth!!!! Apparently I asked a stupid (he thought so) question. I asked him if he had a heat sink that would fit on a speed 300, He got sarcastic and condescending, I will no longer buy from them.

I got to meet Dave at RadicalRC.....nice guy, he got my battery budget<G>

Northeast sailplane had the coolest light (2.5gr) wheels. Guy in the booth challenged me to break them (i tried....and failed, try that with GWS wheels) bought 2 sets at $3 each.

I met Azzar there and got some wire and connectors from him. NES had a nice looking booth, but I got scolded for playing with the wing that had the ailerons that spanned the dihedral break.

I didn't spend too long at the Hobby Lobby booth, because I didn't think they had much variety there (or planes I didn't already have...)

Picked up a Robbe Infinity 2 charger for 125.00 !!!!

Collectivelly haggled for a flat of 1000 mah AR reds.

Whole bunch of cool Widgets from E cubed,

Two Hammerhead one class slope racers from Polecat

Got that neat new "Bumblebee" (Styro) from Dymond. Putting ailerons on it. Also, picked up a 24 hr bug from all the hacking and coughing.

I was part of the haggle on the 100 1000scr reds (new F5B ship needs 27)
An Aveox 27/39 1 turn w PG (100amps)
Carbon Mat fused Omega 1.5 from Sal.
Other little due dads.

Well, I got 2 micro servos for a good price, some strobe lights with them super bright LEDS and the best thing I got was FIRST PLACE in the Helicopter static show. Came with a nice cirt. for framing and a nice check to spend on my next project. I must mention that an electric heli taking first must tell you something. See the PIC. Thank you to all the WRAM members. Keep up the good work.

I picked up wire for battery packs from batteries america.Went to hobby lobby bought a AcroDrive 350+ for a slow flyer project(pentiepal aircamper) pair of the new DU-BRO Micro lite wheels.stop by and said hello to Azzar(Man he's cool and laid back!) But biggest thrill was talking to Mr.warbirds Nick Ziroli about his Blom Voss 141 aircraft.He's probley thing what the heck is someone doing with a 30year old designed aircraft!! Yes it was 1972 when he came out.stefanP

Aside from getting very tired(spent 3 days there helping a friend with his booth) I managed to get a receiver,4 HS81 servos,some wire from Azzarr,a couple of videos including the Mid America Fly from SKS. a couple of the wire strippers that were being sold in the lower level,a large sailplane and a 1.5 Omega from Sal.

I got:

a Wedgie (The plane....not from walking around so much !!)

The Same Aveox 27/39 - 1 turn w 4.4:1 planetary drive as GoodTil (Will power my Ariane V10 !! Finally i decided on a motor....)

Robbe Infinity II for $125 (Thanks Dr. E)

From Azarr - Rocket 400, Mini-rec. antenna, other small items

Dymond - C60 servo's for Ariane (Very thin and light...but powerful), 3 spinners/yolks of odd sizes

Sal - good talk .....and future deals

4x Hitec HS55's, 2x Hitec 555 rec.'s
