We Are Open! (Sort Of) Please Read I am hoping this message finds all of you in good health and good spirits. Over the last few weeks, I have had many people calling, emailing, and Facebook messaging, hoping to get hobby related products to fill their newly acquired free time (and/or perhaps to provide a comforting distraction). The more I thought about it, the more I felt we could safely provide people with the products they desire. So last week I sent an email to Governor W...olf's office requesting permission to open my business, following specific guidelines. This morning I received their reply - they agree. For now, our hours of operation will be 10AM to 2PM, 7-days per week, during which we will: Answer the phone, emails, and Facebook messages. Provide curbside pickup. Ship directly to your home (for an additional fee). Provide all the repair services we always have. Allow people in the store to browse (by appointment only). We accept credit card payment over the phone, debit card, credit card, or cash in-person. Please stay safe. We hope to see you all under normal circumstances again soon!

Reminding everyone the hobby shop is closed, but I will be there working on projects. Please feel free to call 610-373-6927, message on FB, or email if you have questions or need anything. I will be happy deliver at the curb, or ship to your home. I expect to be available Tuesdays thru Saturdays 10-2, and Sundays 12-2.

In the midst of this unprecedented global crisis, I am hoping this email finds all of you - our valued customers, and your loved ones healthy. As most of you are aware, as of 8PM last evening, Governor Wolf ordered nonessential businesses in the state of PA closed. Yes - that does include hobby stores! We support our Governor's efforts, and will keep our doors locked until given the green light to reopen. Although the doors will be shut, I will still be working on various... projects around the shop from 10AM - 2PM Tuesdays thru Saturdays, 12PM - 2PM on Sundays. While I am there, I will be answering phone calls and emails. If there is anything you need or want, please give us a call, send an email or message us through facebook. I will gladly drop your supplies in a bag and you may pick them up at the door, or for an additional fee, we can ship directly to your home, too. Please stay safe. We hope to see you all again soon! Sincerely, Steve Phone: 610-373-6927 Email: [email protected]

The Blade 70 S is the perfect indoor ultra-micro heli for beginner pilots looking to hone their skills. Right out of the box, pilots are presented with a complete heli package and the ability to take their skills to the next level.

We hope this finds all of you - our valued customers, and all your friends and loved ones safe and healthy during this ongoing national emergency. As of now, we intend to remain open. In the interest of public health, however, we will strictly LIMIT the number of people in our store to FIVE. We strongly encourage customers to phone in or email their order so we can expedite their visit. As you would expect, our usual rigorous cleaning routine has been stepped up. And yes, we are still accepting repairs. Also, please stay home if you aren't feeling well! Ask a friend or neighbor pick up the items you need, or alternatively, we'll be happy to ship them to you. We appreciate your business and your cooperation!
