Happy February! I hope everyone’s having a great year so far. I know that the year started out with a bang for us here. Hopefully it continues to get better. With your help, I know it will!

Well, there are a few announcements to make. First of all, the Ultra Micro J-3 Cub has shown up! Right now, we have only the Ready-to-Fly versions in stock, and the Bind-N-Fly® are still backordered until late this month. When we get some in, we’ll post it here. In the mean time, though, the Ready-to-Fly Cub looks pretty cool, and it’s not too bad at only $119.99! It uses the same style batteries as all the other Ultra Micro products from E-Flite and Parkzone, so all of your current batteries and chargers will work with it. Should be a blast at the Ryder Center.

We recently sponsored and took part in the fourth annual Hobby Fair by Hemmeter Elementary School here in Saginaw. We were set up in the gym, and flew our helicopters and airplanes around for a few hours for the kids – exposing the hobbies to them. It was a blast, as always, and a rewarding experience as well. We even took our simulator display over there – that was the highlight of our booth! We took a few pictures – hopefully the principal, Ron Helmer, will share the ones he took with us. You can view the pictures here. We look forward to participating in the Hobby Fair again next year, if they still have it!

Well, that’s about it for now. Remember, if you have any questions or comments for us, you can stop by our Facebook page, direct message us on Twitter, shoot us an e-mail, or give us a call. And we’d love to see you in the store.

Thank you, as always, for being a customer.
