If they aren't based in-state, they should REFUSE TO COMPLY. Followed up by a certain "hand signal" that ALL "authorities" know.

<soapbox>I usually resist the urge to save a couple bucks by getting motors at HL and supporting their business practices. I'd much rather do business with a locally owned brick & mortar shop. </soapbox>

I admit to caving when they have blow-outs, like $4.39 Goblins and $6.39 Citation Patriots.

We're fortunate to have Hiawatha Hobbies outside of Milwaukee - a family-owned, well-run, traditional hobby shop, whose primary lines are trains and RC, but also carry just about the entire Estes and Aerotech mid-power (hobby) lines, along with everything else you'd expect from a traditional hobby shop.

On a related note, these preprinted price tags maintain the screaming deal that B impulse motors are at Hobby Lobby. 48 cents less than AC Supply.

The 1/2A6-2 package in the second picture is from AC Supply, the C6-0 from Hobby Lobby. Four starters each.


They have four because the machine cuts them in twos.

Yeah, I know. I saw it at the NARAM-60 tour. Explan that to those who say that three-motor packs only come with three....

Like my dad says - there’s folks who’d complain if you hung ‘em with a new rope.
