RE: hobbyking experience?
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">Ihave used them with good success. Never an issue. As for shipping, it is what it is and Hobby King does not control the rates just the way Tower does not control UPSor USPSrates to ship. If you pay for cheaper shipping, this is as good or worse than paying for parcel post or media mail here. For the money you save on the product it is better to pony up a few more dollars to ship faster especially if you are going to be waiting for your parts. As for what they sell, I'd trust any part, battery etc as long as it is not a servo for aileron or other crucial function. Never had anything burn up but I also do not want to take a chance with any of my planes.
I will tell you that if you are buying something that is stocked in their US warehouse that it gets to its destination in a few days.</span></div>
