Regional FPV stores can not compete in today's economy

Most areas don't have a local FPV/RC shop. Replacement parts require a tradeoff between high shipping costs or an expensive inventory, which is liable to become obsolete quickly due to rapid evolutions within the industry. Everyone attempts to stock up on replacement parts to keep flying, but that leads to a large investment of spare parts or a significant amount of downtime as existing gear is unflyable until components arrive.

Some large cities have a local FPV/RC shop, but they operate on razor thin margins and often keep inventory to a minimum to ensure profitability. Larger suppliers even setup box subscription orders to clean out excess stock due to inherent inefficiencies in their supply chain. In the US, 2-3 day free shipping paired with minimum orders, cheap foreign imports and other pressures have pushed smaller shops out of the market. Even large cities, such as Philadelphia, one of the largest cities in the US, has the same problem.

What if there was a way to change that?
