Let me clarify something:

The LHS I'm in reference to was neither huge nor a Martha Stewart showcase. The owner couldn't afford to stock alot. Who can? What he did have is difficult to purchase. A friendly demeanor, knowledge and enthusiasm. To the best of my recollection there was nothing stuck in his netherregion.

He helped me through a lot of Newbie-ism and for that I'm grateful. When I first decided to try this hobby/obsession out, I went into a hobby shop where the guy behind the counter told me that all trainers were the same and the one he carried would work just fine as he pulled it off of a shelf and wiped the dust off of it. I asked him about that particular trainer and he said he didn't fly R/C and couldn't help me. He didn't have the correct size engine for it, nor did he have a Tx. Suffice it to say, that was the last time I frequented his store. He had no interest in me as a customer and even less interest in helping me out as a beginner.

Then I found this LHS. I've never been anywhere else until now.

Enough said. Thanks for the opportunity ...
