It seems I can consider myself lucky to have a LHS less than 5 miles away (between me and the field) that ONLY sells aircraft and heli kits, parts and supplies. Pretty much anything I need is there, and if not, its less than a week away. The prices are comprable to the online sites, I dont pay shipping, and I can have what I need right away. The owner and his staff are knowlegable, when he's not in the store, he's at the field. There are always ample new aircraft to choose from on the shelves, from small electrics to 1.20 size sport planes or 90 size helis.
