Yes, Advantage is a very good place to do business

I've dealt with them since they started up.

I have used them a few times (which says a lot, since I have been on a very tight budget for past year) there prices are good or better then tower and their service has been good.

I made one small test order of fifty dollars over the website and everything was excellent pricing, service with no complaint however when I attempted a followup order several weeks later still not big but several hundred dollars and all items with their stock numbers I called the number listed in their site and asked to order the following items and here are the numbers.

I was told by the lady we prefer to not do business that way and refused my order somewhat surprised especially since there was nothing in the site about refusing phone orders, I just stated well thats not the way I prefer to do business and let my fingers do the walking. I found other satisfactory options for my monthly shopping.

The higher ups at Advantage are formally from Horizon and Hobbico.

They may not be set up for phone orders? Surprising?

She may have thought she was the Prima Donna?

Wzak29,

I have bought from Advantage Hobby for over two years now and have found theme very dependable. I have phoned in and web based orders in with no problems.

They have special often with an extra 10% off which is really nice. If you join their Advantage Club (its free to join) you get a coulpe of % points off all orders.

Anytime you can speak with Len, he is one of the owners. Go for it, you will not be sorry.

Close, midterms... =)

My hangar is full and there's snow on the ground, so I haven't struggled with dreaming about (model) airplanes for the past few weeks.
