Anyone know of a hobby shop that sells rockets on Maui (Paia
specifically, but I suppose anywhere would do.) My son is living there,
and wants a rocket to build with a little guy he's met. I could get one
for 40% off at Hobby Lobby (there's not one in Hawaii) and send it to
him, but if he could buy one there it would be easier to simply send him
money.

Years ago there used to be a Pete's Modelcraft shop on that island, but that
chain of local ripoff shops folded in the 80's. So unless there's been
another one open up, his best bet is Mailorder.

Hey, I know of Pete's! That was in Wailuku(sic) right?

Used to have a killer deli place there....Philadelphia Lou's. Used to
score mega subs there while playing Japanese space invaders.

Those were the days....

Not sure where it was I just knew he had one there, and he jacked everything
up price wise by 80% too. On Oahu I ran at the time, a mobile Hobby Shop and
selling at just a 20% markup I blew away his prices. I also sold at the
swamp meets too and at the rocket meets the HonoRocs put on and my own
meets.
