Santa Fe Springs, California – January 8, 2009 – AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) kicks off 2010 with a hobby expo at Ontario Convention Center in southern California. CERMARK is delighted in attending this three-day expo as part of a large group of vendors. This AMA Expo provides a world-class display of the latest and greatest products for the modeling enthusiast and fun activities the whole family can enjoy, including flying demonstrations, model rocket and plane build-and-fly stations – as well as interactive displays, static model competitions and guest speakers. With more than 100 unique exhibitors and expert modelers on hand, the expo will be entertaining for the novice and experienced modeler alike. Last year over 5,000 people attended the show.

Sorry so late but we were swamped with REAL work and we had to put this PLAY work on hold. Well Derrick finally got me to post the videos from AMA Show 2009 so here is the first with Tim Jones smacking down his Align T-Rex 500 after only flying it for 3 days. Wow!!
This was an awesome flight. Just watch it. This guy is a machine.
Followup post to the 2009 AMA Show. Here are the flight videos you have been asking for. I am sorry it took so long to post. I was spending some quality time with my significant other.
Live from Ontario California is its my photo gallery from the AMA show. This must be the WORLDS WORST LIGHTED convention center. Year after year I battle with publishing, what I would call “my worse lit photos of all time.” Here they are anyway. I hope you will enjoy them.
Here is a little bit of reader video from the World Micro Helicup 2008 at this year’s iHobby expo this past weekend in Chicago, IL. Footage is of the winner Kyle Stacy.
