You can sometimes get really good deals used tools on Craigslist, something like a drill press is the kind of thing that people will get rid of cheap. Or you can get your time wasted by idiots, it's kind of a crap shoot.

Failing that, Harbor Freight like Gary said is a great option for cheap but functional tools. Nothing there is super high quality but for something you use a few times a year it's awesome.

Thanks guys!

I found one on Craigslist for a good deal so I'll probably go with that.

Quick poll. I have two Spektrum RX's already and want a new radio. I don't mind switching brands as I only have the two. I can get the 14SG for $500 or the DX9 for $450. What should I go for?

If you've already got the Speky stuff, the dx9 is a nice radio. The Hitec aroura9x is in your price range too... Take a look at that one also

Thanks! I've flown both the A9X and 14SG, and I'm thinking whatever I get will go on a Secraft Tray
Edit: I also like lower resolution (I can't reach corners pinching the DX7S)

Has anyone heard that the owner of Aerobeez is stepping aside?

Has anyone heard that the owner of Aerobeez is stepping aside?

Yeah, he called me to tell me about it. Really is too bad, he was such a passionate owner, and truly cared about his customers.
Here is his message:

Dear customers & friends,

This is Alan, the founder of Aerobeez. I would like to take a moment to thank you for your kind support in the past. It has been a great honor to serve you in the past and also a great pride and joy for me to bring you quality products. I really appreciate all the kind comments and support from all of you along the way. It has been the greatest reward for me. And I will treasure all the interaction with you from emails, social medias, shows and events. You guys are truly awesome.

It is sad for me to have to tell you that my journey with Aerobeez will be coming to an end by the end of May. I will be leaving the company due to personal reasons. However, my current business partners will be taking ownership of the company and will continue to strive to provide you with great service and products. For questions and support inquiries regarding Aerobeez sales and products please continue to email to support@aerobeez.com.

Starting from now, I will no longer reply from the official Aerobeez emails and social media accounts. However, if you would like to connect with me, I can be reached at Alan.rcflying@gmail.com.

That's a helluva deal. It seems he was really starting to make serious progress in building his company.

He was. Worked very hard to build the business up. I'm sure we'll see him again some day
