Had a friend lose the following in a theft at his house in Tampa/Brandon area.

2 Trex - 1 XL and 1 X
3 Raptors - 1 30 size and 2 50's

All 5 had 401 gyros. 1 raptor had hyper engine. Radios and servos are gone as well. Canopies were painted and will be easily spotted.

Those of you on the Central West Coast of Florida, please look out for these. Thanks.

I'll try and get pictures, if possible.

Surprising the guys I know up there woulda kept it. I know theres a guy claiming the N dalemabrey store consigned his Hirobo RTF and now there saying they dont have it. BTW both stores are owned by the same person.

No kidden...usually anything that a Hobby Town USA Store does good, usually results in the firing of one of their employees for violating store policy.

The crew at the Dale Mabry store are a buncha idiot fools, and their shop looks like a pig stie. There's more crap on the floors than on the racks. I used to do company business there on occasion, but after the last visit I vowed never again.

Congrats on the recovery, nonethless.

Yeah I can relate to that remark about Dale M. store! I went there one day on a saturday and the guy came walking down the sidewalk abut 15 minutes later smelling like beer then unlocked the doors! LOL. Seems knowone in there knew or even heard of "LustreKote Paint" either!!! forget about asking them something on the phone, they DON'T KNOW!

What a store!

I'm glad the crooks who stole those choppers got busted as this is close to me too!.
