The following is an excerpt from www.mcdanielrc.com: In the early 1980's, I designed and patented the NI-STARTER and the rest is history. From the Ni-Starter's very successful beginning, our product line has grown to over 180 items, designed solely for the betterment of the modeling community. I would like to thank all of you who have purchased our products over the past 18 years and made McDaniel R/C Electronics the success that it is today.

KCRC
Swap Meet:
JCRC members make annual frozen exodus to K.C. The weather started out questionable as it appeared we were in for some snow, but it cleared out and we just had to deal with the extreme cold. We had a nice buffet-style breakfast in Concordia and enjoyed a wide variety of foods, everything was good, except maybe for the hash...
The parking lot was already full when we arrived at the swap meet location to unload our stuff. It seemed like a bunch of sharks on a feeding frenzy as people were moving all over selling items as the tables were still being set up.
Many items were sold and the event was full of people from all over Mid-America during the entire five hours that it was open. JCRC member Dan Adams of Columbia stopped by to say, "Hello" as well. After
the event everyone was pretty well worn out after all that wheeling
and dealing, so the vehicles were fueled back up and we stopped at a
Denny's near the Temple location to enjoy a late lunch. Attending
the event were JCRC members Rick Taylor, Marty Bullard, Tom
Copeland, Jim Sander, Gordon
DeBroeck, Brian Nutt, Rick Poire and Shaun Zimmerman. All that went
appeared to have a great time. There is another swap meet coming up
soon in Joplin, Missouri, check back for more details and
whether or not JCRC will have another caravan down there. As always,
if you click on any of the thumbnail images above you will be shown
a larger version of the photo.

Special
Report: JCRC Fall Fun-Fly 2003 JCRC Fall Fun-fly was held on Sunday, October 26!! We held out for as long as we could hoping that we would be able to have it on Saturday and for a brief moment it looked possible, then another lightning flash, thunder and more rain - therefore it was held on Sunday. It was significantly colder and many complained about being frozen, but it wasn't raining, burgers were grilled and people were flying!
