I try and support my LHS as much as I can, but some things they have to order and are kinda too high on other stuff. I buy fuel, glue, hardware, etc from my LHS, and have bought two planes from them too. THey're freindly and helpful, and I'd like to keep them around.

I still get some stuff from Tower, just enough so I can keep getting catalogs, because of convience and because they stock soooo much stuff.

I just bought a new Hanger 9 Twist from my LHS...they make me a smokin deal on it..it's too much plane for me right now but i could'nt pass it up. I couldnt believe it was so complete for the $. It'll probably sit for a coupla months while I log some more time..but it won't be long before I give her a try.
