Good RC plane store - near Chicago?
I'm looking for a good rc parts store in Chicago or the surrounding suburbs. Anyone know a good one? There seems to be a few - I'm not sure of their quality. Any input appreciated!

Sadly, not many left. I know these are good.
Ad-Venture Hobbies, 23 Huntington Lane (between Dundee Rd & Lake Blvd) in Wheeling, IL 60090, (847) 537-8669. Grayslake Hobby World, 140 Center St Grayslake, IL 60030, (847) 543-4756 Strictly R/C, 7719 W Lawrence Ave, Norridge, IL, (708) 456-9100 Al's Hobby Shop, 121 N Addison Ave Elmhurst, IL 60126, (630) 832-4908 The HobbyTown in Northbrook, IL is pretty good, too, considering that it's part of a chain. |

It's a warehouse but you can pick up orders there. I haven't yet, but an FB says you bang on the door and they'll open up to give you your order. Cash, I guess. When you checkout online there is a checkbox for personal pick-up. I plan to go there in March when the Hummer shipment is supposed to arrive. |

I live in New Hampshire, but I do some business in Elmhurst and when I'm in town I visit Al's and pick up stuff I can't get at home. Really nice people there and very helpful.
