Anyone care to recommend some local hobby shops? Just moved to the area and don't know of any.

Hey, Welcome!
There's a couple. In order of distance; Big Apple Hobbies (Queens), Bruckner Hobbies (Bronx) and Willis Hobbies (Mineola). All of their heli selections are pretty limited. I know Big Apple & Bruckner have some Align and Blade parts but the bigger the heli, the less likely they are to have it. Haven't been to Willis yet myself...

Good to know. I've been meaning to stop by Big Apple. I called a week ago looking to see if they had any MCP x's but the person on the phone said they didn't have any in stock so I just grabbed one off ebay. Do they have much in the way of mcpx parts?
I may also swing into the Hobby Town up in Nanuet by my parent's house next time I visit.

Don't know about mcp-x parts. They all tend to have more e-flite than anything else but I'd still call ahead first.
All the LHS I've visited here in NY, NJ and a couple in NC seem to be carrying less and less heli parts. I've asked why and the answer has been the cost of inventory and sporadic sales. That's a chicken and egg situation because they have to have the parts in stock if they want the sales.
