Paul's Model Supply!

[Tim Redelman]

I was recently on Fargo ND for business and when out of town I usually look for the local hobby shops. I have spent most of my adult life flying jets and giant scale airplanes. Helicopters have gotten in there also. As a younger me I loved flying controline planes. Mostly cox RTF  c/l planes. PT-19's , Cessna 150's, Crusaders, etc... After that I moved on to the Carl Goldberg models and I enjoyed building and flying them immensely. At some point my father and I made the move to R/C and I let the C/L part of my modeling lapse. I had always wanted a large stunt model but never persued it. When Brodak came out with there rtf models I jumped at the chance to go back in time. I bought a cardinal and a new OS .46 stunt engine and jumped back in full throttle so to speak. I think one of the things that held me back was that most hobby shops I had ever been to didn't cater to C/L airplanes. Fast forward to Fargo! I stopped in one shop that had mostly cars and asked is there any shops here with airplane stuff. They said yes, "Paul's Model Supply" but they have mostly those planes you fly on strings.  I know what your thinking , kind of a negative answer huh. Well I was like WOO HOO!!!! So up the street I went. Now in my lifetime I have never been to such a well equipped hobby shop dedicated (mostly) to C/L modeling. And in talking with Paul I learned a lot  about what I've missed over the years. If your ever in the Fargo area for whatever reason you need to stop in and see Paul and see what a real hobby shop looks like! Thank you Paul for your time and dedication to this segment of our Hobby.  And helping fill me in on what I've missed over the years.

   Might suggest that he move that fuel away from the window!  Light definitely gets to fuel.

I have known Paul for I can't remember how many years.  First met him  and his son at a NATS so many years ago.  It was a shock when I heard of his son passing from a swimming accident.   When I rode with Melvin and Brenda  Schuette to Fargo some years ago also we made it a point to go to his shop.  Looks like he has expanded.   Was planning on going to the Fargo meet this year, but the old Ford put a damper on that.   Paul is one of the best in the modeling world.   

Did you know there are two Red Rivers in the good ole USA?    One flows to the North toward our neighbors in the great country of Canada.
