Default What Will Be Unveiled At The 2012 Toledo Show?

Ok, we are just over a week out from the 2012 Weak Signals Toledo R/C Show. Usually winter has not left and it's the first opportunity for guys to get together and talk RC. This year with the early spring, many of us have been hanging out and flying almost all winter! This has lead to some decent speculation on what will be released at the Toledo Show this year.

If you are unfamiliar with the Weak Signals Toledo R/C Show, it's a hobby expo hosted by the Weak Signals Club that has taken place in Toledo, Ohio during the beginning of April since 1954! This will be the 58th Toledo Show. And many companies in keeping with tradition usually debut many new products at this show. We have seen new radios from JR and Futaba, new ARF's new batterie chemistries you name it most of the super hot items tend to be unveiled at the Toledo show. It can be a very exciting show!

So my question to you guys; What will be the hot items we will see this year? What will be debuted?

I'm sure many of you guys have some ideas so let's hear them!

And after next weekend, we can revisit this thread and see who was right!

For more info on the Toledo show :Weak Signals Toledo R/C Show


And also.. do not forget after the expo shuts down for the day we all head on over to the ETOC/ EX-Games to watch some of the best pilot sin the world battle it out with 4oz foamies!

For info on the ETOC check out: 2012 ETOC / EX-Games

Aurora RC will be making a debut with a new micro kit for UMX sized aircraft, the Genesis kits for foamies as seen at E-Fest, and another new set up for 30% as well as the ones for 35-42% aircraft.
Trixie and Zandor (aka Happy Jesus, you gave me that name, SleepyC so I bunny-eared you ) will be there.

I am thinking many ARF manufacturers will relase their own versions of the "Hover option"....
