|  Ames Area Hobby Shops? Are there any r/c oriented hobby shops in Ames or any of the outlying communities? |

| I Googled Ames (about a month ago) and found one but no real info on it. It's in the downtown area. I plan on checking it out in the next 4-5 weeks when I visit my son. If you get there before me, post up on what you found. |

| I knew there was one down town, but it was mainly trains and some plastic and diecast. There used to be a HobbyTown by the HyVee but the owners have both passed way and their stores closed since I was there last in '06. I won't be out that way until Memorial Day, I'm going out to visit family with my Folks and maybe Kid Sister if she can get off work to go with. |

| I think that there is now a HobbyTownUSA in Ankeny now. Not sure where, I'll look it up over on http://iowarctracks.com. But I believe the next closest hobby store would be Hobby Haven on 86th St. in Des Moines. |
