Folks,

Curious who has great prices, fast shipping and good customer service for Align kits and parts? I've visited a few of the sites that advertise here, and it seems the prices vary alot.

I'm looking to establish a relationship with a vendor that has great parts support and fast shipping to the east coast, and will value the fact I'm new to the hobby, and going to spend close to 1K to get started...

Thanks in advance for any advice!

WOWHOBBIES is a smaller company, but they have been ok to me and they have good prices and ship quickly. I think they are in CA though, so they are not especially quick to the east cost.

Try hobbyhut.com. They have most things in stock and if you place the order early it'll generally ship that day. Customer service is pretty good too. Shoul be 1 or 2 day shipping i would think. They are just outside King of Prussia PA (Trooper)

I have had great luck ordering from RC Heliworkz. It is nice to be able to give them a call, talk to a breathing person, give them a credit card on the phone, and have it in two days. Tennessee to NC is about as fast as it gets.

I used to live by ordering from Helidirect and Ready Heli.

Gonitrohobbies.com has awesome kit prices and will get to you next day. For parts, I am a huge fan of ReadyHeli.

GrandRC and PerformancePlusRC. HeliDirect is great too. Larry is very helpful.

Grand is fast, and close to me, plus great service from Ed and Pat.

Another vote for Performance Plus. Kirk is a great guy. If you don't see what you need on his site, give him a call and he'll find it for you.

Helidirect is in MA which is just a couple states over from you and they are good. Otherwise ReadyHeli would be my #1 choice to you.
