Well, if anyone is around the Orange County (California) location, Hobby People in Fountain Valley is going out of business.
Case of the father passing on, and the kids having no interest in operating the business. All inventory (including drones, models, RC airplane and cars ) are 50% marked price. I picked-up two model car kits at near 1980 level prices. ($9 and $12.50.) I had bought my son a model car kit two week prior at another hobby store and it was almost $30! So the pricing was good.
As of this Sunday, they did have some aircraft models left...[/QUO
I knew Paul Bender and I built a lot of the display models that you saw hanging from the ceiling. Whenever Pilot would come out with a new kit I would build one for the stores. That was 1972-1981 and then I moved to Idaho. I still build and fly RC Scale along with building and restoring full scale airplanes. Don
