Dennis,

We all enjoy different things from our hobby. Yours is clearly buying things as cheap as you can. Some others have a different agenda. Personally I like to support business with personnel supportive of our hobby, who provide excellent customer service and back up. I also want to go to the field and fly hard and fly lots when I can make the time to get out there. My experience of some cheaper products has been poor and mean I end up going home early because something has failed or not done as it should do.

I return to the UK in december yet have a shipment out of the UK on its way to me now as I believe in supporting those business' so they are there when I return. I will never support a shop like Hobbyking because I fear they will eventually destroy our hobby and leave us no option but to buy low quality, second rate rubbish which isn't supported. New people will be bought in to the hobby by the great prices and quickly be lost again when their gear is unreliable, inconsistent and unsupported.
