Best online hobby shop
Hi, i've been looking around lately to try and find a good quality electric parkflyer (EDF or prop). I had a look at hobbyking and found a number of planes that i like.I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other online hobby shops that provide good quality products at a reasonably good price, and if anyoneknew ofany good planes that a should look at?
P.S. - sorry if a question like this has already been asked on this forum. Im new to RCUniverse and still working out how things work on here.

RE: Best online hobby shop
Only thing I've ordered from hobby king was a battery which turned up in a reasonable timeframe at a good price. I've ordered a lot of stuff from Tower Hobbies who a pretty large range, good prices, and prompt service but are held hostage by the size limits that USPS (United States Parcel Service) puts on boxes they'll ship, so you can't get large things like planes etc from them.
Make sure you check their policies on international shipping etc before you place orders with overseas companies.

RE: Best online hobby shop
for simple supplies. i like myatomic.com. free shipping on $25 orders and good, friendly service.
hobbycity.com (hobbyking) has been hard to beat lately; i got a motor mount shipped from them for less than the regular cost of one, without shipping, at the u.s. hobby shops. they also have 'bootleg' propellers, and respected lithium batteries at less than half the price of everyone else.
