RE: What should your LHS have to support you?
Matt, why would you say it is unreasonable for a HS to have $40, $50, $60.00 Props? Hodges does, I went to a Hobby shop in Houston Tx. last week, they did. What we spose to do when we break one, Mail order the thing and waite a week for it? A Hobby shop should cater to it's customers. And I will bet you that an area where there is a well stocked hobby shop will have a greater diversity in the type of planes you see at that local field and the size of the clubs in that area. If there is a Small unstocked Hobby shop in an area you can bet there is a small club in the area. People buy what they see. People go with the flow, If there are 10 Giants at the field this year there will be 15 next year. FOL.
