Als Hobbies well known in the UK

not used them but you should be okay

I waited about a month for a small prop for a plane.... that was about 2 years ago tho, never used them since lol

[invasion]

Great thanks for that..also I just notice they take paypal so cany go wrong

I've bought a few things from there, they were fine, no problems.

We've got one in MK.. I've popped along a few times but the miserable staff and lack of heli stuff means I stick to MH and Fast Lads!

[Sao]

Wouldn't **** on them if they were on fire. Use Fastlad, midland heli or skylines.

[chopper1]

I have used them several times & they have always been good on price,very easy to deal with & always been quick to arrive.Cant say or ask for more really.

I can echo Eddie, Al's in Mk is about 1/2 a mile from my front door. I would rather crawl over broken glass to Barnsley or Hinckley than go into their poxy shop. Unhelpful, staffed by idiots, never got anything in stock, no offers to get what you need. I'll stop now I can feel the temp of my blood rising

Glad I'm not the only one.. I also have a suspicion as to why they are unhelpful idiots Dave.. they are Planks!!!.. Fecking Plank lovers!!

The staff at the Bristol branch are too stupid to be let out by themselves.

Had no problem with the mail order service (which works out of the main branch).

Not heli-orientated, no clue really. I might use them for glue or the odd lipo, servo or receiver as the prices are generally ok.

Stick with trusted heli stores for most things.

The owner is an arrogant, loudmouth bully so it's no wonder the staff are less than shining examples - the ones he's got are the only ones who'll work for him, I suspect.

I recall being at a large scale flying show at Wroughton a few years ago where Al's HObbies had a huge stand. It rained in epic fashion during the afternoon and Al's were selling off wet radio equipment at discounted prices. I didn't buy any.

Caveat emptor

Used them mail-order for a few things plank-related, but not for heli stuff.

My first "port of call" for heli stuff is ALWAYS Fast Lad, with MH, Skyline, Innwoods and SimplyTrex as other reliable traders.
