*** With the pandemic, the prices of RC planes seemed to go up and there were less sales. There were less new planes released this year, at least it seemed that way. We don't know what the governments will do in regards to rule changes affecting the hobby. Hopefully 2021 will be better for new releases and planes being in stock. There have been a lot of planes out of stock this year.
the virus!
André’s Highlights:
