I agree with your story..

But that store owner has something to gain from letting you try the heli..

yah it'd be nice if I could let a young child or middle aged man try flying my heli and show him how great R/C is... but I really have nothing to benefit from it other than Karma

Also the store owner can get parts a lot cheaper than me if not free.


But you make a very good point the person is just curious and interested.. two very good qualities..
