Red, step away from the coffee and read this part.

I know why there is so little competition in this market. It has very little margin and low demand elasticity, (there are few, if any, substitutes). It's hard to transport and is subject to expensive regulations etc...
I'm just looking for an interim supply for my 3 dollar a day nitro habit.
Thanks,
Mark
(Missed your response, Ken. I agree, it is just a cost of the hobby. And...it's really not that much in the grand scheme. I'm just whining because my low-cost supplier is out of fuel and i paid 17.99 plus tax to break in an engine and fly a bit this week). I guess I could find more difficult problems to solve, like how to better my flying skills.
Later,
Mark
LOL, I agree with your take on the position of the LHS. I was just inserting a bit of levity. My LHS makes almost no money on fuel, so losing that part of my business is not really important. I plan on buying all of my engines there from now on, (They have competitive prices and the owner treats me well).
Later Red......sorry about the coffee joke.
