What did you get at WRAM?

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...)

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.
