in small towns and areas of the country that dont have a hobby shop your choice is to shop on line. from what i see, is that on line shopping for hobby products will dominate local hobby shops. nobody can compete with tower and horizon. they will soon take over and thats all that what will be left to do. sad but true. its too damn expensive to own a hobby shop and have to order $5000.00 a month of items. unless your a million aire.
