I agree completely. For 600 bucks, they should certainly back up their sale. It's tough in this day and age to sustain a buisness with the emegence of the internet. I use the internet to locate the exact part I need, then ask my LHS to get it for me. Besides having a local supply, it's nice to have a place to go to in the rainy season that you can hang out and discuss flying. We just had a new LHS open near my house, and it was the primary reason that I got back into the sport after 15 years. When I bought my ARF Seagull PC(, they opened the box and we inspected it before I even paid for it. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HOBBY SHOP!
