Drove to Slough to get some stuff, as usual crap service and not in stock. Phoned Skyline who put parts in the post today...

[nightstalker]

[andylinney]

must admit - I've just programmed skyline into my phone. just ordered from them for the second time and probably only spent a tenner yet it was as if I'd spent a grand the way I was dealt with. Ideal!

[jimheli]

[Smoothound]

[Randall]

Yes and there is one guy in there not sure of his name (in the most non racist way possible the coloured chap) trys to sell you every bit of junk under the sun in there last time i went there i told him please stop trying to sell me S*!t. never again will i go to that place Skyline gets my business every time top class service friendly people and good advice friendly service really makes a difference for me only thing they need to do is sort there online ordering out its all a bit of a mess on there site

The Manager is called "Nobby", and his nickname sums him up nicely.

The shop is owned by the owner of Rip(off)Max. . . . .that tells a story as well

Skyline > Ripoffmax.

yep i usually shop at skyline.(more like half an hour from slough,as i have lead foot)but they are out of fuel.rang slough to see if they had any heli fuel.the answer"nobody makes a fuel specifically for heli's" was the answer.then proceded to say he uses model technics champion as this is what the manufacturer specifies....hmmmmmnnnn. when i asked about bekra mix was told "we do not stock another shops product" when i mentioned this was model technics he started to bluster on about champion and duraglo and 18% oil and this was good enough for anything.....i was stumped..i didn't buy any fuel from them but now i know why he was trying to sell that fuel,to promote his bosses range of product.i might be new to nitro helis but i have run nitro buggies for a while and do know that all fuels are not equal in quality.....come on skyline get some fuel in,i need 15 or 20 %nitro, my trex is like a statue in the front room, i wanna get her dirty

[LaurenceGough]

Don't touch model technics fuel! High profit for shopkeepers crap. I used to run my Truggy on it and had so many problems, switched to a decent fuel (Byron RACE Gen2) and all my problems have gone and it tunes, runs, idles better etc! Luckily enough I only got though just under a gallon before I saw the light!

[forbsy]

i use byrons as well.do they not do heli fuel?i know they do aero fuel.

I use MT fuel in my Nitro Helis and it works fine and guess what...I also actually get a full UK gallon no half measure yankee shite

[LaurenceGough]

Well, it's not a half measure but I see where you're coming from, MT fuel may seem cheap but in the long run it's going to cost your engine.

Indeed, Byron does airplane and helicopter fuel, I know if I was running a nitro heli I would be using the Byron helicopter fuel!

Well for 1 Byrons isn't available locally and for 2 my Heli fuel has yet to cost me anything except the asking price which is not bad compared to the US stuff.
