Midland Mall hosting three-day event

MIDLAND -- The Midland R/C Modelers Club is hosting its annual indoor show at the Midland Mall beginning Friday.

The show runs through Sunday, during regular mall hours.

The 80-member club is always looking to add new r/c enthusiasts.

"These planes can start out as beginner, with very little investment, 200-500 dollars to get into the hobby.  Models go as high as thousands (of dollars).  Electric is the moving craze with the battery technology moving as fast as it is. A lot of the sport is going to electric," says club vice president Mike Fjerstad.
