I was completely amazed at how much inventory this place has on hand, and at great prices. Even had parts for many legacy engines. Wasn't expecting that. After many visits now, it's obvious to me Archie's really strives to be the Remote Control Modeler's friend. Too, I've also been a skeptic of the simulators until my visit there. They have a quiet corner of their shop with two comfortable setups of the latest RC Flight Simulators for your evaluation, simple enjoyment or instruction. It's clear that their heart is in promotion of the RC hobby and not just on how maximize their bottom line. I recommend them as a regular visit for the local modeler and as a must see for visitors. They've always treated me AND my children with the highest respect and encouragement. Archies is a valuable asset to the St. Petersburg business and modeler communities: With the complexities of the model aviation hobby today, we're very thankful that you're here Archies.......
Pros: Their friendly, knowlegeable staff helps you maximize your success and enjoyment of the hobby.
Cons: Store could be open a little later on week nights.
