I have just bought a 401 from Lee and now need a tail servo (9257) for the Blade 400.

I had a look on ebay and saw this;

has anybody used them before as £40 delivered is cheap?

Not used them myself but, with 99.6% feedback, might be worth a punt eh? Hope ya don't get stung by customs tho.

nearly everything i have brought from america has had its proper value declaired on the customs form so be careful of that. its only hong kong and china that mainly under value there parcels now.

*edit* with vat and customs/royalmail charge you could be looking at 54 quid if customs colar it(if my calculations are right)

Ah, that sounds more like it

Doesn't it do the trick if they mark it as a "Gift" or are customs too wise to that now?

[murph]

There was one on the BMFA site, but its now marked as sold
I wouldn't get your servo from the US, try a Hong Kong site instead.
I got my servos from this site:

i second the don't buy from the usa
i bought some fuel tank mounting rubbers from the states that ripoffmax didn't sell as a spare and weren't interested in getting on backorder at my lhs

the postage and vat and the royal mail charge cost more than the rubbers

i even paid vat on the postage the robbing gits
