Everybody has their preferences. I have personally dealt with QUANTUM in Shelbyville KY and really like their service. They are about 75 miles away and I drove there one saturday and checked them out. Very good selection of engines, kits, ARF's, radios, and accessories. I just have them ship everything to me because it's cheaper than driving there. TOWER HOBBIES is also pretty good and anything else I need comes from the LHS in Lexington KY. Happy flying.

Tower Hobbies. Way less than my LHS. Prices lower than most other online stores. If you join the Super Saver club, for 20 dollars (sometimes 15 if there's a special) you get a year of free shipping over 150 dollars, and they give you free stuff and coupons. I was skeptical at first, but I've gotten about 20 dollars of shipping savings, and about 50 bucks of free stuff. Pretty nice deal if you buy often.

Of course, I'm biased a bit because I get the stuff in 2 days, love thier location
