Status: offline 		What do you like/dislike about different vendor's websites? Personally, I like the way Tower Hobbies shows lots of info and pictures about the products. I don't like how few pics and info is on Horizon's site. I like the quantum site, but I think it could be arranged better. Opinions on this site or other hobby sites?

Status: offline 		I like Towers website too, but I hate how they have things broken down. That is... You click on airplanes, then you get a list of about 50 different catagories for engine size, sport/scale/trainer, etc. And it's totally screwed up. IE, sport planes in the scale plane catagory, biplanes not listed under biplanes etc.

Status: offline 		I like all of the tech data and pictures on Tower's site...but I agree with MinnFlyer on the arrangement.....there isn't any.....I think mixing the organization of Quantum's website with the information of Tower's, you might just have the perfect RC online store.....

Status: offline 		What I like about Tower's is that you can see what is in stock. Quantum does not give you that infromation. I like the selection better at Quantum however. Just my 2 cents.
