What are the businesses that you buy from?

[IntlAdmin]

I'd like to have a thread where you can list the companies and suppliers that you get your boating items from. Electronic stores for the RC part of it? Replacement parts?

Things like that. This way others can have a list to check before going out to acquire items for boating.

I can give you a few that I used on my last and present builds:
Newton Marine for plans
Speedmaster for rudders and brackets
Aeromarine for drive shafts
R/C Boat Company for cowls and tail sets
Mike Hughes for turn fins
Virginia Craftsman for a turn fin assembly
B&D International for plywood
Aircraft Spruce and Specialty for stick stock
Futaba for radio gear, battery packs and servos
Stu Barr for CMB engines

That should be enough to get the thread started

Great idea! Many great companies already listed, no need to repeat them. Apologize if I did list any already mentioned plus any companies I forgot to list. I always purchase from the smaller Rc Boat businesses 1st whenever possible. They are the innovators who help support & advance our hobby!
