Buy supplies.
While that big $140 might buy a kit, it'll certainly buy some fuel, an extra servo or two, that nifty new glo igniter, the three rolls of covering for that 'other' kit (you'll soon buy) some tools, a new iron, a few socks for the older iron, a trim iron!! a few pilot busts, and paint to go along with them, some wheels, that 'aluminum' spinner, glow plugs, a fw allen keys to replace the lost ones.. screws, nuts, bolts, etc.. stickers!! a down-payment on the Bobcat hanging from the ceiling!
Something for teh wife, like that new doll house she's been eyeing!
Some rockets, and set up a SAM site at teh feild!!

Fuel, hardware and .40 size props are all I really buy at the LHS anymore. I guess I'd stock up on fuel.

Nope. Judging by your list, you simply do not have enough airplanes.
Try to scrounge up another $20 from underneath the sofa cushions and pick up a Seagull Models "Razzle 3D" (at around $160).
It flies well on a .61, and is just plane fun to fly and teach yourself airbatics. It also happens to be a very complete aircraft, and it's the only ARF so far that I have elected to use all the hardware that comes with it.

Seems to me, if you don't have something you need, you should save it till you at least know what you want. I have no problems blowing a couple hundred bucks in a hobby shop just by walking in personally. Guess thats why I have over 50 planes though. [X(]

My LHS has a bit of everything at prices equal or lower than Towers. I usually have a problem trying to keep my spending below $140.
For me it is nice to have a LHS where I can buy mostly anything that I need from small parts to IMAA big birds...lol

if you dont know what to spend it on you could always donate it to my charity. its called the pauls wife wont let him buy a new plane foundation. that way you will have to take all them gift certificates out of your pocket and will save you a lot of money on buying new pants or getting them repaired.
