You know there is magic and talent at work when you watch this amazing video. Caught on tape, watch the parts of an eRC quad copter dance, dream and mingle their way to the music as they assemble themselves -- like only a product from Hobby Lobby could. There is attitude, adrenaline and love expressed by each assembly, the black and white of the yen and yang form the core personality of this multi-rotor copter. Once it's ready to fly, the control you have as a pilot, with the great lift and balance of an eRC powered quad, gives distinction and separates this product from the laboratory experiment and the toy.

Four propellers, four eRC motors, four eRC speed controllers and other quality aircraft parts from Hobby Lobby amplify the thrill of creation. This video is a witness to the source of the emotion, the eternal well-spring of pride in progress, and all those emotions that define how builders come to love their projects. Tell a friend...

This year, why not make it a goal to share the fun of radio control modeling with a friend, neighbor's child, or someone who just needs a hobby? Our J-5 Cub is a perfect choice - it's stable enough for a beginner yet fun for both instructor and student to fly. It's tough enough to survive even the hardest of landings and it's got the kind of scale detail that trainers don't ordinarily get - with authentic engine, cowl and even working LED navigation lights. And, the J-5 ‘s unique dual dihedral design grows with the pilot's skills, allowing for easy transition from 3 to 4 channel control.

Give And Receive $50
We appreciate your time sharing the fun with a newcomer, so if you're helping someone else learn with the J-5 and they'll tell us their story, we'll give you a $50 gift certificate to help you have more fun with your hobby, too.

And what is a slope junkie? That's a very valid question. To tell you the truth, I have no idea either. Good thing Jason Cole knows. Try saying that fast...

"It all started at about 5am. We were going FLYING! I didn’t sleep much the night before because of the usual pre-trip excitement, but it didn’t matter much now, it was time to load up the truck. I met my flying buddy Chris at his house which about 100 yards from my place (it’s awesome having a fellow R/C nut living that close to you) and we started loading up his Toyota truck..."

Hobby Lobby's T.J. Moore went to the flying field with his Extra 300. He came back with a story...and a cool video.

"I recently went to fly a couple planes at a new field I had heard about. I arrived at what appeared to be a large hangar with a gravel runway and an “Official AMA Airfield” sign. I was the only one there so I enjoyed flying a couple batteries through my Extra 300. As I was packing up to leave a man arrived and began opening the hangar doors. To my amazement there were 2 tow planes and about 6 free flight gliders, all of which appeared to be fully operational..."

Director of Product Development, Jason Cole, takes a prototype to the flying field...only one of them comes back.

"This story is about the day I had a plane catch on fire. The manufacturer sent us the very first prototype, hand carved and all, before the final molds were made. The foam was obviously rough, but you look past that when in R&D mode. You look for the potential and scale lines. We assembled the parts and had a nice looking Mosquito on our hands. We took some photos for reference points to help make the design even more scale and then headed to the field for flight testing..."
