RE: LHS Rant!
Maybe someone has already said this so it may be repeating info. But when I first got into this hobby the owner's of the LHSs were also fliers and members of the local clubs. I think that is a rarity today when you are talking about the franchises. The 2 independent stores I have been to here having plenty of kits - and owners who fly. But the franchises don't - kits nor fly.
