HOBBY STORES
« on: November 24, 2010, 10:20:07 AM »
    If you do not like ordering from several different sources to get your supplies then you might try supporting your local HOBBY STORE and if there isn't any near then try Sam's Stuff and Hobbies as they are a good one stop shop with good prices.  They seem to have everything and they are very knowledgeable.

   I work part time at a local hobby shop, but I  order stuff from SS Hobbies for things I would have to order anyway. Great guy to deal with. If there were no other option for me, he would probably be the only vendor I would have to deal with. He has most everything that you would ever need.

My local hobby shop supports me, as long as I want to buy stuff from Horizon.  But heaven forbid that he'd go to the time and trouble to get a dealership with Brodak, Blackhawk, or any other CL-oriented place.

So I get my parts where it makes the most sense, which means a few bulk orders, and some shopping around, and doo-dads from the LHS if they happen to be things that one may also need on a radio control ARF.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.
