The Toledo Show:
R/C Model Expo
As I write this, I’ve just returned from the 63rd annual Toledo Show: R/C Model Expo, also known as the Toledo Show. By the time you read this, we will have our complete video coverage online at www.ModelAviation.com. The videos are no substitute for actually attending the show and seeing friends in the hobby, visiting manufacturer and distributor booths, and browsing the swap shop, but they do provide a good overview of the three-day expo and are definitely worth watching.
The Toledo Weak Signals R/C Airplane Club, which began in 1954 as a group of nine young men who decided to form a new RC club in the Toledo, Ohio, area, does a nice job of running the Toledo Show each year, and I always look forward to attending.

Although some might feel that in the digital age in which we live, trade shows are antiquated, I believe there is value in being able to see and touch new products on display. To look at the craftsmanship of the Scale models competing in the contest with my own eyes, chat with the skilled modelers who build them, and most importantly, be able to connect with my extended RC family, makes trade shows worthwhile.
Please take a moment and share your thoughts about trade shows with me via email.
