I must echo the sentiments already expressed by others ... this year's Toledo Expo was a great time.
To be immersed in everything R/C for three days, great! I only wish I had had more opportunity to walk around and ogle all the neat stuff. Can you believe it, I didn't buy one darned thing all weekend! True, for a glider bum there isn't a lot to be seen, but look at the big TOC type acro ships and you see the same molding techniques in use there as in our TD moldies ... and at quite a bit bigger size. Gorgeous paint schemes on every one of them. Electrics ... the glow engine manufacturers should be reading the writing on the wall ... if you have noise issues, the electric wave may be your salvation. Li-poly batteries that are taking more and more abuse the way Ni-Cad and NiMh do today, and the price is coming down all the time. Giant scale and gas motors are strong, too. It was great to see so many LSF members over the weekend ... we were able to update the database for many members coming back from years of inactivity or other pursuits. Seeing old friends, making new friends, that's what the hobby is all about, and Toledo is a great place to do it. Be sure to carve out some time next year for the 51st annual Toledo Show. ===== Tom Kallevang Wheeling, IL AMA L292 SOAR LSF President & Webmaster LSF #303 Level V __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
