The good thing about this crazy hobby is that I no longer have the resources for alcohol and tobacco. The bad news is that I'm up to my ears in the cheap stuff - Fan Fold Foam! LOL
I spend way too much time surfing the interwebs, but this is to your advantage! When I come across a real value, I'll put it in here and you can benefit. Be sure to tell these vendors that you heard about them from TheCrashCast!

I just caught this deal from Hobby People - a 20C 3s 2200mah LiPo for only $14.99.
Looking for an inexpensive power solution for converting a 40 to 50-sized Nitro plane to electric power? Check out this new offering from HeadsUpRC! Five and a half pounds of thrust can be achieved on a 3s battery, and if you've got a 4s battery laying around, you can push the thrust level up to 7 pounds - all for less than $40!
This SOTW came from an email from our friend, Ed G. (Thanks Ed!). It's an E-Flite PT-19 from Horizon Hobby for only $69.99! It's a little larger plane at 45" wingspan and is a perfect airframe for that Park 450, 480, or equal sized motor you've got laying around...
Yet another goody from our buddy Jeff over at HeadsUpRC! If you've got any of those cute little Parkzone planes (Ember, Vapor, Cessna, etc.) and you need some new batteries, then this is certainly the place to get them!

As mentioned on this week's 66th Installment of TheCrashCast:
WOW! I just got an email from Mark over at 2DogRC.com detailing his March Madness deals. In this email was a real STEAL so I had to drop everything to get it posted here.
This week's steal is for the plane that REALLY started the micro aerobatic trend. It was available BEFORE the PZ Sukhoi, BEFORE the Ultra Micro 4 Site, BEFORE anything of it's kind! What am I talking about? Well, the Axon Racing Raptor 3D, of course! Mark had already reduced the price of the COMBOS he offers by something like $20 over what I paid for mine in Toledo last year. Now, if you use COUPON CODE "RAPTOR" when you check out, you'll get an additional 40% off the already low prices for any of the Raptor kits!!!
