Actually there are many Hobby Shops where I live (a lot of people in Israel are in to this hobby) . The closest hobby shop to my house is about a 30 minute drive away, but they only have parts for the Honey Bee King, the Lama V3, and much bigger Nitro helis. So I can't get parts for my Falcon 3D in my area.
Good for you! Same here, I have like 3-4 hobby shops right in my city, within a range of 5 miles or less, plus two more in nearby cities, which I haven't visited yet. Ok then when you move to that nitro heli you said you were going to buy you'll have the parts right there. Just make sure you buy one that your local hobby shops support, so when you got broken parts you have them right there. - Yeah, same here, even though Hobby-Lobby.com is in the U.S., I have to wait 3-4 days to get the parts, they are in Tennessee, if I remember well and I I'm in Florida, but it's certainly much less than waiting 2 weeks as you have to. Oh well, at least you get the parts, and then you have fun again. If I was you, when something breaks, I would order not one but two of that part, so next time it breaks again you'll have it right there without having to wait 2 weeks ago....and in the meantime order that same part again while you're using the one on the heli now... that way your waiting time for parts will be less painful.
I don't mind waiting 3-4 days to get the parts, I'm in no rush.

Actually, the Nitro Heli I'm going to buy is from my Hobby Shop, so parts and support won't be a problem at all.
Also, I order 3 of the same part every time it breaks. I did the same thing with the part I ordered a little while ago.
I also ordered about 10 different parts that are known to break often, so I guess I won't be waiting for parts anymore
