I have 2 RC Electrics, and one gas off e-bay for cars.

I also have an .049 Sophisticated Lady Glider, and Skyward 60, and a park flyer for airplane. Have been a member of the Meridian Model Flyers in Stony Plain since its inception!

As Hagmanmod said, I run a Revo 3.3, also skywalker low wing two seater plane with a 4 stroke saito 85 and smoker. A sukoi 31 with a 3hp 1.6 glow, and a funtana 90 3-D with a 0.91. There is currently over 30' of wing span on air planes hanging from the shop ceiling.

Do these count? When I shop local I do so at Great Hobbies in Edmonton.


Cool Choppers Snowdin. I have the Blade CP Pro and it spends most of its time in pieces but its really fun for that 50 seconds before it hits the ground at warp 11 :eek:

I've heard the Blade CP is very hard to fly. Sounds like there have been a lot of folks quit the hobby because of it. If your still interested in the hobby let me know. I can give you some pointers.

Use to race a few of these locally, still have a traxxas rustler mod with a hippo race engine in it, have problems keeping the front wheels down on it but will do 60+ for a truggie. Other one is a Savage 25 truck.

Haven't used either in a long time, but was actually contemplating getting them up and running again...

I even had it autographed by Sammy at The Gold Cup in Chico California last Sept. Sammy was really impressed with it.
Haudenschild won the race and I have the top wing off of his car (autographed) in my garage. I am a little uneasy now running the Channellock car and don't wanna wreck it. UGH.

I have a Savage 25, a Meyhem Race buggy, a Savage handbuilt Monster truck with a 32 in it, and a Century Hummingbird heli. The wife has a Savage X SS, and an A/E Micro Monster truck with a brushless mill. They are great fun!
