Status: online 		Kits and big ticket items usually don't have that much mark up. It's the little pieces that have the markup. The hobby dealers, more often than not, purchase these small items from distributers at about 60 percent of full retail.
Yes, the Illinois companies only give a few cents off. Talk to your hobby store dealer. He or she may be able to give you a break too. Remember, though, the store has to pay for shipping, employees and for overhead. I'd rather buy there when it comes to small items. These small items are really what keeps them there for you and me. Support the LHS.

Also - arriving at the strip - 20 miles from home and finding you left either 'A' - Tx , 'B' - wings, or 'C' fuselage at home. I`ve done all three at different times......

Status: offline 		My biggest beef in RC

1. Having been in this hobby for over 30 years and not knowing everything
2. Having 18000 hours as a professional helicopter pilot, having been in this hobby for over 30 years, and seeing 18 year old kids at the field with 11 months experience flying better than me
3. Getting older but not necessairly wiser (they still crash when you do something wrong)

Without a doubt, trees are my biggest beef. They're like a magnet for balsa.
