RE: LHS vs. LHS vs. Online ?
How true. The first LHS I visited here had a few planes but they were more focused on trains. That by itself is not a bad thing but when I approached them with my plane questions I received blank stares and the 'cold shoulder'. I felt like they didn't have any experience with planes and for that reason didn't want to help. They lost a customer for life. Another LHS was the same way, but they treated me like I was important to them. For that reason, even though they are further I will patronize them if I decide to expand my RC hobby.
