Last Thursday I spent some time with Mike Greenshields at Hobby People’s main office in Fountain Valley California. While I was there, Mike showed me their brand new prototype aircraft, the new Sport 180. This great looking park flyer resembles a Cessna and is one sweet flyer. It will come with its own transmitter and it will be a ready to fly kit. I am told that it will have a very attractive price point. This is the final production prototype so look for it to be on the market very soon.
