Panda. Obviously.

I’m sure if one looks hard enough there will always be imperfections, but Panda is as reliable as it can get in 1:400. They benefit from not being your average market flooder like every other well-established 1:400 brand (something has to give when so many models are regularly pumped out), and...

Nevermind, it's a great time to be alive. The more you know... The E-175 only had outboard ailerons, and spoilers were also used for roll. The 763 is an antique, even when compared with the A300-600, so it's got both...

I see what you are saying. Where are the low-speed ailerons on the -600 then?

First point of contact should be your retailer. Which model was it, if you don't mind me asking? I know the first batch of SCAs had a major epidemic of broken NLGs. Ever since, all others have been good. I like the new ones with the removable landing gears. Talk about peace of mind...

Every story has two sides.

Only one UA 1/200

IIRC, The Airplane Shop only carries licensed models, no? So, not only overpriced, but a dull selection, too. Similarly, Grayland Station only carried brands distributed by ADI when I visited in 2021. Although I recall someone here saying they have a wider catalog now...

Miami is an aviation mecca. It says a lot about how niche and cost-prohibitive this hobby is when Miami is left with no stores. Then again, I don't want to sound too pessimistic, with e-commerce there are stores in virtually (pun intended) every city 😏. I ship quite a bit to Miami, I am sure...

I didn’t know that. So Miami and Las Vegas only now?
