I really cannot answer that, reason being all Hobby Town stores are individually owned and operated. While I hope most will carry it Hobby Town as a company has no say in what stores carry. With the way Hobby Town has been advertising to stores about FT, it's hard to not hunk they would carry it. I'd say just ask them to give you a call when they get it in. I work in the one near the Mansfield area.
Ain't that the truth. Consistency and focus is wildly different between the different Hobbytowns I have been to in just this state. For a while the owners of the HT in Cbus were very selective about what they allowed their store to carry.
Not to be the debbie downer in the group but, I am actually kinda bummed by this partnership. The Hobbytowns in Cbus really aren't airplane friendly at all, at least not the times I have been there. Their primary focus seems to be cars. However, the Hobbyland store in Clintonville is very active, has several FT airplanes on display in the store (employee builds), several more in the back. At their recent fly-in there were a few customer FT airplanes. I know they would probably like to sell quick build kits, but apparently that part of the market belongs to hobbytown, so...
I applaud FT for wanting to reach lots of people in lots of different markets, and on paper this partnership looks great, but in some communities HT isn't the best situated to support FT's community. sometimes the local guy is doing a better job.
