Into the model shop

I had to resend yesterdays order because my email got lost somehow (that's rare...). I went to the LMZ model shop at Aegidimarkt. They don't have much in the shop, but I got some pretty good advice from the owner (like, if the motor I choose is OK, why ships mostly run on 12V motors, whether I need a strong rudder servo (yes) etc.).

I found their prices are quite a bit lower for Robbe items, like EUR11,- for a S3001 servo in the shop and EUR19,90 in the catalog! The lead acid batteries where a bit more expensive, but now they have 12Ah instead of 10Ah while the dimensions remain the same. Bought two Robbe 3001 servos, a 70mm propeller, ordered batteries, controllers, motor and a rudder servo (got talked into a rather big one).

Planned to order the servo controller, a LCD display, a compass module, and a Basic Stamp IIe kit. Could not decide whether to get the display (yes) and the kit (no).
