Things that are too good to be true scare me!

I am testing the waters with a $55 order from them. The order consists=20
of several Radio Control parts that I needed from somewhere anyway.
I use PayPal for this sort of thing when possible.

Model airplane radio control is another of my "too-many-interests".

I hope to report back in a week or so with good news.

Hobbyking.com has been my recent favorite vendor for many of these=20
components with similar prices. Every time I place a $300 order with=20
them I feel like I am gambling but so far they have come through just=20
fine. The shipping on LiPo batteries sometimes is half the cost!

Bypassing the usual distribution channels may be a little risky but for=20
me it allows things otherwise unaffordable!
