We have a fantastic Radio Shack in our town too. Granted, they've branched off quite a bit and sell firearms and ammo as well as electronic components, but the owner is incredibly helpful and knows that his business only thrives because he is service minded. I've long swore off Radio Shacks as a whole, but spend money there whenever I need a component or two even if things are cheaper online.

A RS that sells electronics and guns. I would patronize that store so _hard_.

It all depends on the kind of drone you want to build.

Just to make this clear, I want to not know what you'd do with it ;-)

Ha. I wasn't thinking of mixing the two. Just ... while I'm at the store picking up a stick of RAM, pick up a new magazine, or a brick of .22 ammunition.

Guns and drones are, however, an interesting subject. Wildly impractical, now, due to safety, payload, and usability issues.

Ummm... where is this store located?
