Yeah, we know that some of our competitors conveniently "forget" and post prices lower than the distributor's "MAP" (Minimum Advertised Price) or "SMRP" ("Suggested" Minimum Retail Pricing). So from time to time, those who break the rules will "appear" to have lower pricing than HeliProz.

We don't much care for the SMRP's and MAPs, but we try hard to be just as honest and open with our suppliers as we are with our customers. So we spend a lot of time checking to make sure we are in compliance. Luckily, Horizon let's us put our actual selling prices (just like we were an independent business in a free market!) in our CATALOGs only. Great Planes won't even allow that! Neither allows us to have any pricing below THEIR smrp or map shown in ANY printed advertisement OR ON OUR WEB SITE!

Of course, they are quick to point out that they can't tell us what to actually CHARGE you for the products (that would be an illegal price-fixing issue) - just what we can SHOW you.

Bottom line is this - WE FOLLOW THE RULES - BUT - WE ARE PRETTY OFTEN THE BEST PRICE! (Not even counting the free shipping and best service!) AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN KNOW WHAT WE ACTUALLY SELL THE SMRP and MAP ITEMS FOR IS TO CALL US! We don't mind, use the toll free number! Or you can e-mail us if you prefer. For any OS Engine, for any Futaba or JR Radio or Gyro or Servo, or for any JR Helicopter, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR plus SAVE KURT FROM THE SMRPs... Give HeliProz a Call!

NOTE - Our parts pricing and products from Airtronics, Ace (Raptors), Hatori, MrC, Hirobo and most tools and hardware are NOT subject to these rules so they are posted at the actual selling price. PLUS, remember that we ALWAYS GIVE YOU THE BEST PRICE - if the web store shows a higher price on an OS engine than our in-store sale price, we will ALWAYS reduce the price to the lower price.
