Default Buying RC equipment

I like buying new RC airplanes and equipment over the net but can't always find the best sites to order from. I know there are better places than Tower Hobby. Would like any help you could provide.

One year in the sport. Thanks

There are several online RC stores that do a good job, Quantum is my favorite, but you can't beat Tower for all around everything. Been shopping with them since 1987, have never had any customer service issues that weren't resolved in my favor. What more are you looking for?

Get one or two of the R/C magazines like RCM or Model Airplane News. Most of the retailers advertise there and list their websites.

Besides Hobby-Lobby, Horizon Hobby and Hobby People, check out the link to this list. I am sure you will find many more.

Don't think you can find anybody much better than Tower.I like there foremat easy to find things think some of ther others could take some hints from them.Remember to look at there various discount offers can make difference on prices if you use them carefully.Haven't seen any of the others with those kind of offers.Good Shopping!
