Can anyone recommend a RC store in Pittsburgh area? Nice if the store also
is online with a webshop.

J and C Hobbies @ 12250 Frankstown Rd. (412-795-9344) is excellent.
They have a super website at  www.jchobbies.com/home.htm
However, the website is currently down.  I have just spoken to the owner and
repair is expected in a few days.

Thanx to all who replied. My plan is to order from a shop in Pittsburgh, get
my brother who lives there to pick the goods up at the shop, and ship it to
me in Norway.

Why don't you just order from Tower Hobbies and have the goods shipped
straight to your house?

If I order for more than  $30 it have to go trough custom and 24% VAT will
be added. If the goods are sent as a gift there will be no VAT if the value
is less than $150

It looks like your brother is performing the duties of a Forwarding service how
can the shipment be called a gift.
My bet is that customs would take a dim view on this

I'm shocked, _shocked_ that a good European would try to evade the taxes that
support the much better than America European Social Safety Net.
