Propellor Adaptors in the Boston Area?
- Thread starter rsegal
- Start date
Welcome to the FT Forums rsegal! Another Boston area FT fan here.
It's not super "local" but isn't too far if you have more than just the prop adapters to buy, and they will ship from Nashua, NH:
http://www.rcbuyers.com/
I believe this is the current version of the hobby shop I bought my first RTF from as I was just starting out (A Horizon Delta Ray.) They are in Foxborough: http://www.hobbyquarters.com/ (BTW, I believe there's a Dollar Tree in the same plaza... so you can pick up your FT build materials there as well!)
It used to be called RCHover and was in the same town, so I'm assuming they are one in the same.
I haven't visited them, but there's also this store in Mendon: http://www.creativehobbies.net/
I would call or email all of them to see if they have the item you're looking for.

Thank you! There are dozens of us, DOZENS!
Funny story, that's where I just got back from, and they had exactly what I needed. Exceptional staff and great selection, I imagine I'll visit them again.
You guys are ALMOST making me miss MA.
I don't suppose you care to explain?
In the Navy, the "head" is what we call the restroom (toilet). On Old Ironsides (the USS Constitution) you can see why the toilets were places at the head of the ship. It was done for... strategic purposes. You see, the bow hangs waaayyy out over the water. When I toured the ship, I took a peek at the toilet bench (there were several side by side) and when you look down where people would sit you see the water far below. The captain of the ship by the way also has his private toilet in back, also hanging out from the side of the ship over the water.
Aren't you glad you asked?

oh... and what if its REALLY REALLY REALLY cold outside?
I don't suppose you get a purple heart for certain appendages falling off due to extreme temperatures.
In heavy seas, I imagine you kind of have a conundrum where some of the waste water might wash up with the spray... but hope that the next spray provides a cleansing effect. Speaking of the USS Constitution. It just left dry dock after a 2 year refit.
OP, glad to hear you were able to find what you needed!

Is there a club around Boston that has a good flying field
I know both Brandeis and Northeastern University have drone clubs. Northeastern I know takes a train to go to a flying field somewhere in the area. I'm not sure how much you want to hang out with college kids flying drones, but I know they are super passionate. Let me know if you want contacts.
