My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Towerhobbies.com is a top-notch company. I've used them since about '82. Recently it occurred to me most of the product family is really entry level and when it comes to Helis, there are a lot better companies. I've been a die-hard fan for decades, literally, but I've finally out grown them this century.

Regardless, any deal they promote will be legit and their customer service is fantastic.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Always was satisfied dealing with Tower. I bought all my radios and most of my engines from them. Thats about all they carry that I am interested in since their heli parts department is lacking.

If its radios or engines however, they usually have some good deals.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Tower Hobbies is the retail side of Great Planes which in the US means Futaba, Hobbico, OS, Electrifly and others.

It's where you send your OS and Futaba stuff for service, they aren't going to rip you off.

Well I saw something in the forums that someone got ripped off from Tower Hobbies ill try to find the post if I can. But back to what I was saying I don't want to be ripped off thats my view.

Me too I would love to hear these ones. Been doing business with them since they were open and never had a minutes issue with them not once. More then I can say for other online hobby shops I have dealt with.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		if your worried about being ripped off then buy somewhere else. Not sure if you can find a place that will get you the merchandise any faster. As long as they have it in stock. If your that worried about being ripped off then buy used. You have no worries with tower. And right now you can buy the hyper for under $170.00 I believe.

Bring back the rotary phone so we don't have to press "1" to proceed to ENGLISH.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		If you buying stuff through tower make sure to look for their discount coupons they have littered in their magazines and on their website. You can save quite a bit of money by waiting for a good coupon to show up. Like everyone else above has mentioned they are an awesome company, I think I started using them back around'97.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Tower Hobbies is the retail front end for one of the two largest RC distributors in the US. All Futaba and OS products come in the US through them. They are VERY reputable. Whomever posted that is an idiot and more then likely screwed himself. I've personally been a Tower customer for over 15 years.
