This particular
Hobby People advertisement is from page 53 of the March 1970 issue of American Aircraft Modeler
magazine. Hobby People was probably the first company that I ever did mail order from
to get airplane supplies. Hobby People is no longer in operation. All copyrights
(if any) are hereby acknowledged.
Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics'
inflation calculator
to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance, that $3.99 "Cox .049 Babe
Bee" engine would be $26.16 in 2018 money. The "regular" price of $6.00 would be
$39.34 in 2018. Cox International sells a brand new
Cox
.049 Babe Bee today for $44.95, so that's not too far off the mark.
