You will definitely want to go to Al's hobby shop in Elmhurst. It is about 20 miles from Lisle.

There is a Hobbytown in Naperville (Aurora) just up the road and one north in Geneva. Also there is G&D Hobbies about 25 to 30 minutes west in Sandwich right on 34.
There is a field just west of the West Field mall. Go south on 59 to 75th street and turn west. Continue for about 1/4 mile and make a right. The Naperville group flies in the Park right over there.
Here is there website: They use to be the Lisle RC Club.

I should have stated the same thing as "rc_sport". Venture is the best, ask for Brian the manager if you need any help, great guy, awesome pilot. Venture is up north and the contruction between the two can get a little scary.
