Add Classified Feedback		Ron,

My best wishes to you and your crew!

One word of advice, be sure to talk to a few folks in the telecom industry BEFORE you decide what to get for a phone system. In the last five years, things have changes SO much that it is almost not funny. You can get features for almost free that you couldn't get 10 years ago and couldn't afford 5 years ago. All the phone switches are moving to IP and the features are exploding while cost is plummeting.

And I might as well add my two cents about the web site while I am at it... I have always found Rick's was just a bit too simple and "old school" while HeliProz was just too BUSY! I could never easily find what I was looking for. The sad thing is I can't think of anyone in the hobby industry that really got it right...

Good luck on the new business.

Add Classified Feedback		Actually, I DO have to point out one web site that just works: [url=http://www.newegg.com]. I know they are not hobby related, but it is VERY easy to search for specific parts or specific TYPES of parts while at the same time they have plenty of space to show the specials of the week and other offers. You could do a lot worse than modeling your site on newegg.

Add Classified Feedback		That is absolutely excellent news. WELL DONE Ron. I commend you for your efforts in taking care of your crew. There aren't many people out there that would go to the lengths you did. And I thank you for thinking of all of us. Very impressive. Gods speed.

I can please 1 person a day.
It's NOT your day.
Tomorrow's not lookin good, either

Add Classified Feedback		Great news and happy to hear that all is working out for the best. For me Rick's had always been great for small items I needed with the USPS shipping they offed. So now I guess if I place an order from HP north they will have to collect Texas Sales tax?

I think Tower Hobbies got it right. Easy to find stuff. Search engine works flawlessly, Descriptions under parts with tech notes helps alot, and PICTURES of parts! The biggest thing I hated about HP website is their photos are useless.

Congrats to Ron and Crew, can't wait to give you my order!
Good luck.

Add Classified Feedback		I second that, Towers website navigation is second to none. It would be incredible to cruise through heli-proz / Rons like that. I love the way you can click on the replacement parts or upgrades links from a product page. I'm sure a website like that costs plenty to maintain, but I also think it would increase sales.

After meeting with the owner last night, we came to a verbal agreement that she would accept the terms of my proposal. Nothing is final until the contracts are signed and the money changes hands. The deal includes the building and contents as well as total ownership of the website. It will take time. I'll keep you posted here.

Add Classified Feedback		Man, it sure would be good if that deal goes through. There are parts for older MA, Robbe and Hirobo models in that store that simply CANNOT be had from any other source, including the distributor. It made me sick to think that all that inventory which is keeping these older models up and running could slip away.

The light at the end of this tunnel is getting brighter and brighter.

Ron,

Best of luck getting the inventory and the building from Rick's widow. Your update today is very encouraging. We're all behind you on this.

Best of luck to you, Nathan, Karen, and the rest of the crew!

Add Classified Feedback		The amazing thing about this story to me is how Ron was running Rick's with such dedication, and not having any ownership. I hope this all works out for the best for everyone. And I hope it works out getting the existing inventory for the classic heli parts.

I would also like to see Ron in part of the name, perhaps Ron's Heliproz to make it easier to distinguish from the existing Heliproz instead of always having to specify North or South or risk confusion where the order was placed.

Regards,
Rick
