    I always feel a responsibility to our viewers to capture as much of the good stuff as I can, even on a Family Vacation If I get a chance to promote a small hobby shop.. I try to take it. It helps the hobby grow!

    Dang, watching this makes me miss my former local hobby shop even more. When the video was posted in ‘15 the store was just closing. That was devastating for me because I loved their indoor clay track, and the store was not even five minutes from my house, so it was easy to go and get parts and get back RCing quickly. Such a shame when they have to close. Always support your local hobby shops!

    Was literally on vacation in Palm Springs from San Diego, CA Last week! Love going to my timeshare there and it was really fun! This hobby shop is really good! I was in there last tuesday! and purchased a battery that sadly didn't work out but they made it right!

    A while ago one of my family members owned this as his family hobby shop. I'm not sure who exactly he was in relation to me though, or in general. He sold the shop before retirement (I believe) though. It's kinda cool to think RC was in my family before I my parents even met.

    Great promo vid for a local hobby shop and I agree 110% in supporting your local hobby shop we just lost our last hobby shop in town last fall, now its a 35 min drive to our nearest shop. And as always it is great to see the beautiful Jem! I hope you all are doing well and I love your channel take care.

    Pretty cool to see that shop in a video; it really peaked before it closed down. that store use to be less than half that size; stayed like that for most of my childhood. it felt like you were walking into a closet packed full of rc cars and trains.

    • @TheRealRCSparks
      @TheRealRCSparks  6 років тому

      Im sad that the owner passed away. I enjoyed going there each year i visited. Cant believe it was there so long!! Ill miss it when I visit this year...

    I have the Dromida Ominus, and it is almost indestructible. It's great for indoors and out, and even in 20kph winds. Very easy to fly and lots of fun.

    That "Radian" glider actually is a "Super glider"! It's one of the easiest to fly, due to it's beautiful curved "polyhedral" wings. It's still available now since it's a best selling. They even have a Night Radian, which has a shed load of leds along the wings etc.

    Is this the first time you made it to uncle dons hobbies? I used to live in desert hot springs California and I would drive to uncle dons for all my hobby needs. Actually I was freaking out because the guys in the store buying parts are my old rc buddies!! We hung out all the time driving rc cars and making UA-cam videos. Little did they know they were standing next to an rc legend and his beautiful wife. Take a trip to Visalia California so I can show you our hobby shop ! And meet you :)

    The Rare Bear rc plane you briefly looked at is actually based on a real race modified F8F-2 Bear cat. It used to race in the event called "Reno air races" in Reno NV. Theres lots of videos of the Reno Air Races on UA-cam it's quite the sight to see.
