Status: offline 		Half the stuff I over hear in a hobby shop is humorous. Either some self appointed big shot is telling an outlandish flying story to sound important or there is a newbie, slightly confused between reality and what he read on line or heard at the field.

At one particular shop, that I no longer frequent, the funny stuff typically came from the people that worked there. The sad part is they think they are providing sound advice.

Just wish I could remember some of the jems I’ve heard.

Status: online 		I bought my 1st 1/18th scale (mini-t) not knowing a thing about them. I asked the kid behind the counter if they were fun/fast? He said, "Oh yea, theyre real fast, almost uncontrollable inside, you'll love it" And that was it.

The next morning I was there when they opened buying a 6 cell Orion Pack cause 4 AA batteries barely pushed it out of its own way!

Had he told me ANYTHING remotely close to "youll need better batteries to have fun" then I could have saved a 60 mile round trip to the LHS.

Status: offline 		I don't know if I'm annoying or funny when I (used to... of course, used to...) go to the LHS and ask for a part... "I'm looking for a propeller" "What kind?" "...what do you have and I'll pick one out..."


Usually, I'm not working on a specific model and botching together odd parts, so i don't really have a set that I'm working with... but it pisses all the workers off so much.

Status: offline 		This is the truth, honest. My LHS owner said he didn't sell coloured tape for my Zagi. He then asked which club I belonged to, did I have insurance and had I notified my insurance company and get this - Air Traffic Control!!! I asked why and he and his pal said it was a very fast plane that could go to 80mph and up to 700 feet - I wish!! I found out he is totally nitro minded and heli oriented (nothing wrong with that I say) but anti electric. Doesn't stop him selling 15 types of electric plane, good or bad!! Guess what, I've spent £600 in past month but not at his store - wonder why?

Status: offline 		I was 12 or 13 years old when I bought my first DuraPlane (Foam wing, PVC forward fuselage, aluminum U channel going to the tail). I went into a hobby shop that sold everything from R/C to needle-point (and everything in between). The guy told me to use fibreglass cloth and dope on the wing for reinforcement. Well, guess what? Dope eats foam. Totally ate into, and warped the wing (wing was arched from root to tip like a seagull). Ended up buying a new wing. Not a nice thing for a kid delivering newspapers to have to do for his with his hard earned money.
