RE: Green slime?
I could not agree more about Hobbytown in Toledo! I certainly miss Riders Hobby - although they weren't too hot toward the end either.
I now order all of the parts that i need except fuel from Ebay and Tower Hobbies. I don't need a H-town kid to help me pick my fuel, just need one to ring me up, which they can seemingly muddle through.
I don't go through enough fuel (Enjoy my electrics, ATV's, etc.). If I use a gallon every 2-3 months then I am doing good - and that is only in the summer.
