Yes, very sad that Hobbico (parent company) had to file for bankruptcy. Horizon Hobby has purchased Hobbico's RC division so many of the brands should continue on under Horizon Hobby now.

I also used to peruse the Tower Hobbies catalogs hours on end. I must have been 17 or 18 when I started receiving Tower Hobbies catalogs in the mail. Raced off road for 5 years or so back then, spent every free moment on the hobby. Good times.
