With the exchange rate being the way it is and the US sub-prime mortgage problems, I would consider buying alaska. Hobbies are cheap over there, take a stop in at Tower in Chicago and get yourself back into RC aircraft once again (Should see my new Grumman Bearcat btw..)

A Boeing 737 ... its funny you should say that ... RC stuff that flys ... now that sounds the ticket ... I WAS thinking about getting something like a toy rocket  ...
Grumman Bearcat ... lions and tigers and bearcats oh my ... you have to post some photos ... that would be awesome ... I saw a Bearcat at the Fort Worth airshow in 1998 ... radial engines sound fantastic ... |

You can buy those rockets in Toys R Us in the USA ... some are air powered, some air water powered and yep, some have blasting caps that shoot them into orbit no doubt ... I couldn't believe that TrU sold that kind of stuff ... and then I went to Rebel Sport in the USA and saw the " huntin' " section ... |

[quote="whiteski"]A Boeing 737 ... its funny you should say that ... [quote] You too 'eh?? Well they are pushing them out at 1 a day aren't they. I used to house share with a mad rock climber. Most of the good gear was US made and the local specialty shops seem to have a huge mark-up. Maybe pick up some gear? It's light for the $ it's worth. Just do me one favour. Kick Bill Gates in the nuts while you're there. |

Yeah ... if you want outdoorsy stuff ... Seattle is a good place for picking up stuff for hiking, rock climbing, spelunking ... OR carbon fibre paddles (for wave ski, kayaks ... ) oh so cheap ... |
