RC HOBBY STORES.

RC HOBBY STORES-RED BRICK AND ON-LINE.

Hobby shops are the heart of the hobby. As the years pass, the stores evolve and change, but in one form or another, we ALL need access to a good hobby store.

I believe, in past years, there were a lot more local hobby shops. Competition and market evolvement has resulted (unfortunately) in the demise of many.

The large discount mail order companies, can offer kits, radios ,engines etc, at a price that the local stores cannot match. then along came the on-line web site stores, that offer further competition to the local RC hobby store!

So the local shops that have survived, must be offering excellent prices and a large selection, along with the other essential ingredient-technical advice and customer support.

Most of the real stores offer mail-order and on-line shopping abilities-I guess this is a part of their secrets of success!

On these pages, I intend to review hobby stores, both real ('Red Brick") and on-line. Initially the real stores will be limited, geographically, to Central Florida and Southern Ontario. Here I can issue a challenge, to you the reader, to submit your reviews, of your local hobby emporiums. Or please share with us your experiences ( Good or Bad!) dealing with Online stores.  If you are interested, please see below -
