My favorite online sources for electric fliying supplies
I am always seeing a post from someone looking for this or that. I thougt I would post my favorite online electric rc sources.
1. For most of the products I need I go to All E RC http://www.allerc.com/
2. For loose battery cells, Cheap Battery Packs http://www.unipros.com/cbpsite/maina...&cmd=&promoid=
3. Thin foam sheets try Troy Built Models http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/Foam.htm
4. For battery pack supplies such as wire and shrink wrap go to Radical RC http://radicalrc.com
5. Carbon spars http://www.allerc.com/
6. Excellent selection of brushless motors look to Northeast Sail http://www.nesail.com or Hobby-Lobby
7. Gearboxes, motor mounts I order from E-Flightline http://www.e-flightline.com/gearboxes.htm
8. Connectors , prop adapters Himax gears and gearboxes shop at Maxx Products ( MPI )
9. I purchase my lipo batteries from http://allerc.com
10. EPP for flying wings is ordered from Flying Foam http://www.flyingfoam.com/foamsheet.html
My choice for brushless motors are in this order
1. Mega 16/15 series
2. PJS
3. Axi
4. Razor
My only choices for brushless speed controller are Castle Creations Phoenix.
Lipo batteries
1. Thunder Power
2. PolyQuest
3. Kokam
NIMH batteries
CBP 1050, 1400, 1800 and 2100 from Cheap Battery Packs
Favorite Foam planes
1. Wattage Mirage 2000 ( Discontinued, I have to shop eBay ) with Razor RZ 2500 motor Thunder Power 2100 lipo
2. EdgeRC Overlord and Bird of Prey with Mega 16/15/4 , 8 cell CBP 2100 NIMH bateries
3. TBM Monte from Troy Built Models with a Typhoon 15 brushless external rotor and a Thunder Power 2100 lipo
4. Tuff-E from Northeast Sail with PJS 550r and a Thunder Power 1320 lipo
5. Parkzone Stryker F-27 with brushless conversion with Mega 16/15/3 , Kokam 3 cell 2000 mah 15c lipo
I also fly a Thunder Tiger Lazy Tiger P-51 converted from glow to and AXI 2814/10 brushless.
This winter I am converting a Sig Kadet Senior and a Hanger 9 Aresti to brushless.
My all around favorite plane to fly is my EdgeRC Overlord combat wing.
Other than foam , gearboxes and wire All E RC is my primary online supplier, great selection ,prices and fast shipping.
I hope this might help others find certain items

Your list looks prety good except for NES. A lot of people have trouble with them. Just type in NES in the "search" box and see for yourself. I tried them once and found out for that it's all true.

I have had good results with dynamoelectrics.com. They have some good deals on mega brushless combos along with other goodies.

For cheap lipo batteries and other misc. electric stuff i only shop epyaya.com. 2 16c 11.1v 1350's for under 60$ can't be beat. i have two of these batteries over two years old and they are still very strong.

They used to have a local store, but closed unfortunately. Their web store is very good.
