RE: Going to LA
Just south of there on Monte Vista is a shop named Hobby Club USA. It is by far the best rc plane shop around. But thay are only RC plane and some train stuff.
If you want to stop by take the 10 to Clairmont. Get off at Monte Vista. Go south. Cross Holt, cross the tracks and it will be on the east side of the the raod.
Pegisus is a great shop. They have tons of stuff but they cover everything. Form rc cars to dungons & dragons crap. Hobby club is a totally complete rc plane shop that is operated by the owner.
Its where I spend my money
