When you arrive you'll undoubtedly be greeted by owner Paul Linn, a friendly fellow whose…read moreenthusiasm for the craft is obvious after a moment's conversation. He's a community volunteer who recently ran a program at the local library which provided 25 kids with the opportunity to build their own model rocket, supplying the Estes "Make It and Take It" Educator bulk packs at no cost to the participants. It's a small shop, but carefully stocked with kits and supplies for model rockets, scale models, kites, and of course, model aircraft including RC helicopters. He's happy to special-order anything he doesn't have in stock. He builds professionally and he's always willing to show you his latest project in his workshop at the back of the store, or offer advice for your own project based on his years of experience. Paul and this nice little shop are a real asset to the local community, and a refreshing "mom-and-pop" change of pace from the national chains. I encourage you to stop in.

The staff is friendly and turned on the trains in the window for our six year-old to see without even being asked. They stock a lot of new stuff and have a limited amount of used (cheaper) stuff available on consignment. The store is organized quite well so it should be easy to find what you're looking for on your own, but the staff is willing to help (or just chat) if you're up for it. Although we live south of Boston, we'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!
