eddieC, Winder Hobby is GONE, went out of business about 5 yrs ago. Atlanta Hobby is a good active outlet (they do have a retail store) but according to thier ads it is for electric powered airplanes only. I have not visited them as I fly glo and it would be almost 200 miles round trip for me. Hobby Town USA and Allison Hobbies are both about 80 miles round trip for me. Is 80 miles round trip still a "local hobby shop"?
