RE: Purchasing Etiquette?
Here's what I did on my last big purchase. I got the plane at the LHS for a bit more than Tower then I made a wish list on Tower's site for all the other items I needed to go with it (flight pack, engine, and other accessory stuff you know) Printed the wish list off and took it to the LHS. Got what they had in stock at Tower's price and ordered the rest from Tower. What it amounts to is I gave the LHS a chance to play and they did the best they could. It was amazing the amount of stuff I had to order from Tower just to complete the plane that the LHS did not have and that includes the wheels and wheel collars ect.
