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.
