Because of our drone business we have dealt with many hobby shops. When they find out what we're doing they almost, without fail, cop an attitude. They are far more interested in selling and repairing the items in their store. What is disturbing is that they talk down to us when they find out we deal primarily with toy grade drones. We know that we have found a niche market, unencumbered by FAA regulations and reasonable to buy. You would think that, since we're not competing with them, that they would be more helpful. We have encountered the same resistance when dealing with manufacturers. Sometimes this challenge is fun to try to overcome, but it also almost always ends up causing frustration on our part. When we are approached by someone that is experiencing problems with a drone we go out of our way to help them. In the process many of them have become our customers and/or sent us customers. Note to you elitists in the hobby shop world; quit looking down your noses at those asking for a little help; you may gain a customer.
