When getting coffee at lunch today, while running an errand to the post office, I noticed there is a new1 Hobby Shop downtown - Sheldon’s Hobbies! In 2025! With RC2 Nitro3 airplanes hanging from the ceiling for sale on consignment :) It offers kits and supplies for builders, ARFs4, lots of RC car items, and scale plastic models. Even includes an indoor car drifting track. I was impressed - it reminded me of Venture Hobbies in Wheeling, IL :)

Great summary of where the old school #rc #aircraft #hobby is at. I’ve been #ama member for 15 of last ~30 years but now see them as mostly hindrance but Im agreeing with authors that they still provide some value to the hobby. The #flitetest and various #fpv #racing organizations are taking over initiative to get new people into the hobby. #radiocontrol #drones #aviation https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iT5GEMxR0Jk

#flowstate #fpv #documentary did an amazing job of showcasing the world of first-person-view #quad ( #drone ) #pilot s who #fly for fun, race and film. I used to fly FPV a lot and followed these pilots for years. The “out of the body experience” is amazing. I haven’t experienced it before or since #flying FPV. When you fly around yourself to “avoid that person” only to realize that it was you, while in #flowstate , is indescribable. Amazing & so familiar! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoMWFrqOmQo&t=5240s

RemoteID is on the radar of Louis Rossmann!! RemoteID is a FAA equipment required of remote controlled toys >250g (model aircraft, quad, drone). It broadcasts your location and is collected by gov contractors for surveillance. While RemoteID is federally mandated, there is no real-time enforcement as local authorities are actually busy with real crime. All that remains is moar gov surveillance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAiQnq6h6ao
