Ever notice how back in the day that many rc companies advertised only about racing? That wasn’t just the case in rc either, it is easy enough to look at the motorcycle industry and see the exact same thing.

“Fwiw… You can’t even sit out in the open air and smoke a cigar in 465 Seattle parks. This San Diego anti-RC bull#$%^ is apparently real, too. Totalitarianism. Look it up, it blooms a bit more every year. Jon” Cubby- Yo hey Jon and congrats, I am proclaiming yours as “Letter of the Month”, shoot us your snail mail and shirt size so you can [...]
