I shall be in this area next week on a business trip. Can anyone tell me the names and addresses of hobby shops carrying r/c aircraft stuff?



Thanks, SF.


Steve,

In Mishawaka, there's;

Hobbyland Town & Country Shopping Center

2564 Miracle Lane (off of McKinley Highway) Ph: (574) 255-1722 {fairly good selection, opens @10:00 AM}

In Michigan City, there's;

R & D Hobbies

4217 Franklin Street Michigan City, IN Ph: (219) 879-7563 {fairly good selection, open @12/Noon - 8 M-F, 10- 6 Sat}

Hobbyland' prices are a wee bit high, & they're about 20-30 minutes from South Bend Regional Airport.

R & D's prices are much better, but they're about 30-40 minutes from the airport....take Highway 20 from in front of airport, (West) over to Michigan City. Located in a mini-mall on right side of road before Wal

-Mart.

What day(s)? I'm off this week & might be able to help more. --

Thanks for the info guys. I've heard elsewhere of one called Michiana r/c Hobbies, E. Calvert St. Anyone know if it's still there?

Steve.

Steve,

Never heard of it. You could try searching via Mapquest or Google. --
