http://www2.mailordercentral.com/quantummodels is really big, and has decent prices.

http://www.hobbybarn.com is the only other place I've ordered besides tower. Mom&Pop shop, but nobody could beat them on Irvine engines, and I was very happy with the
transaction.

http://www.tti-us.com/sim/shop.html is a great place for radios, buddy boxes, sims, and sim interface cables. Got some nice stuff from him and he was very helpful when I had problems.

There's a lot more, but I haven't ordered from them. http://www.hobbico.com has a lot of stuff. http://www.horizonhobby.com has a lot of stuff and is the home of Hangar9 - Joe

better yet, support your LHS, sure things might be a bit more, but you usually get immediate help on anything plus you get to know them. They have been very helpful for me as of late when I wasn't sure exactly what I needed, they did.

Just to give some experience I had.

The site TTI-US listed above, I bought my JR radio interface to use with the FMS sim and works pretty good. Transaction and delivery was also fine.

http://www.airborne-models.com/index-2.html => I bought my last plane from there, a piper J3 cub wipped wing and the deal was great. The delivery was amazingly fast.

Other than these, the list already given is the one I have.
