Hobby Shops in Chicago, IL
I'm planning a short trip to Chicago, IL soon and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a really good, airplane-focused hobby shop. I know I can look in the Yellow Pages, but unfortunately, they don't give you a lot of detailed information. I'm not interested in cars, trains, etc--just planes and helicopters. I'm looking for a good old-fashioned shop that's owned and/or operated by actual R/C enthusiasts--not a HobbyTown. No offense, but every decent size town has one (or more) of those. Thanks!

Venture Hobbies in Wheeling, IL - suburbia - is excellent. Good selection, good people. Look up Venture Hobbies on Google. I also hear good things about Al's Hobbies in Elmhurst..but I swear by Venture. Should be relatively easy to get to from downtown, but I don't know where you will be staying.
