Post the name of your favorite online RC Helicopter re-seller, and why you think so. (or why not, if you have something negative to say)

I'm happy to say I have received great service from Heliproz, Ron's, and OnlyRaptors. All are good folks.

I am trying to see if there is a pattern, or a tendency, of people to favor particular online resellers. I am interested in ordering a Walkera heli that my local hobby store does not carry, and I feel like a helpless animal alone in the jungle, surrounded by wild beasts, every time I log onto the Internet to try to figure out who to make this purchase from. I figure that if the same on line resellers are being continually mentioned by many forum members, that that is a safe bet for whom to make a purchase from.

Well then, in that case I'll also put in a vote for Heliproz and Ricks "Heliproz South" R/C. Can't go wrong with either.

Ready Heli by far,, I like Heliproz but they have the WORST website in the world for finding stuff,,, just do a search,, try and find something simple like Trex600 blade grips,, you will see what I mean,

Ready Heli, #1 by a HUGE gap. They have the best website and customer service by far!

I've also purchased from GrandRC and Ron's Heli Proz South with very good success.
