^THE HANGAR Welcomes YOU!

^THE HANGAR, established in 1985, is a regionally renowned expert R/C aircraft shop.

Dear Cyber Friends,

Welcome to "The HANGAR!"

Allow me to introduce myself to you. I'm R/C modeler and pro George Knapple. For well over half a century, I've indulged in model aviation -- earning various awards in model aircraft racing.
Since 1985, I've co-owned or owned -- and operated -- ^THE HANGAR -- a homey little shop and gathering place for R/C aviators and those considering this joyous pastime -- growing it into a favorite resource for R/C aviators from Wichita, Kansas, USA, and the world.

I specialize in providing the best...

model kits, model accessories, model building materials modeling supplies, and model building & repair service...

...for every modeler, from the novice     to the expert hobby enthusiast.

For service, we have an on site building-and-repair shop to answer all your hobby needs -- with a full-time, expert custom builder. Our custom-built models have graced public businesses, and been sought by customers from around the United States, and beyond.

I bought The HANGAR in 2003, when it was located in a small store in the west side of Wichita -- the "Air Capital City" -- and in 2004 we moved The HANGAR into our much larger current location at 449 N. West Street, between Douglas and Central.

I consider  ^THE HANGAR  to be an old-time model shop -- and intend to keep it that way.

Open every day -- except Sunday -- and into the early evening on weekdays, we offer a relaxed, sociable setting for all R/C enthusiasts and newcomers. Everyone is welcome to drop in, pull up a stool, and just chat with us about radio-control aircraft flying.

It is our desire to always provide you with an honest, cheerful, courteous, knowledgeable operation -- reflecting a combined 65 years of modeling experience -- and genuine interest in your R/C aviation pleasure. It is not our desire to have the largest hobby shop, but to provide you with the very best R/C pro shop we can.

To our many past and present customers... thank you for your support! And for those of you who have never been here, I'd like to personally welcome you to The HANGAR. I look forward to serving each of you soon, and for a long, long time.

Come sit with us, and let's talk R/C FLYING!

Your friend in the hobby business,

~ George
