Air Museum, Topeka KS

[James Mills]

This question is for you guys around the Topeka area.  We're going to be passing through tomorrow on our way to Denver on a business trip and are going to stop at the air museum on the way (been a few years since we've been there). 

Has anything changed with the museum?

Are there any hobby shops in the area that aren't to hard to find?


Thanks,


James

The Combat Air Museum is alive and well...   Haven't been there for quite some time but it is always worth a look...  I think they do ahve some new stuff...
Dee and Mee Hobbies is located in Fairlawn Mall, 21st and Fairlawn.   They are currently trimming their inventory of slow moving kits and have some really nice prices on a few Sig kits...   Wish we had more active fliers to use these kits!!!
Later

Jim,

Thanks for the reply, I didn't get to check the site before we left, had a local power outage, so I didn't see the hobby shop post.  We did stop by for a while, my 5 year old and I had a blast and my wife made it through it.

I'll try and post some pics later, we just got in from Denver and are a little road worn (you folks in Kansas are great, as a matter of fact the guy that hit us when we were parked was from St. Louis, but man that's a long state to drive across with just a couple of stops). 

While we were in Denver I found a hobby shop in the yellow pages that has control line in the add, I think it was Thompson's but I'll have to check the receipt later, but I picked up a Flitestreak ARF pretty cheap (now I just have to get a motor for it).  I'm going to use it for profile 40 and have it ready when my son is past the trainer stage.

Put a OS 25 on it and you will have a ball with it. The ARF Streak has a hollow fuselage and is a bit light for a big motor.
