          Yeah it is really frustrating waiting for parts to come in and missing out on some great flying weather, been there myself, its not pretty :roll:

          Try places like,

          www.skylinemodels.co.uk

          www.modelhelicopters.co.uk (midland helis)

          One or other of those two will have the parts you need on the shelf.

          Cheers,

          Pete.

                Just a little note.

                Two weeks ago I ordered a raptor v2 kit from skyline using there website.
                A couple of days later no sign of my kit, so I rang skyline and spoke to a chap named Nick, who duly promised to track it down.
                Next Day I call Nick and he has spoken to the courier and they assure us that my kit will arrive today, 4pm approaches, hmm I call Nick again (he must be tired of me by now), he calls the courier and they claim the the driver will be with me in 20minutes.
                Next day no kit :-(
                Nick at this point is most peeved and tells me that the courier has booked it into the warehouse and its dissapeered !

                Next problem, my rappy was the last of skylines stock, aaaargh.
                Nick suggests

                A:Refund
                B:Sceadu with discount
                C:He tries to track me down a raptor kit.

                I opt for option C, two days later one of the skyline guys (roger) meets me at 10:30pm in my hometown to personally deliver my kit.

                It took a while, but thanks to skyline im happy again.
                And the moral is "Skyline are great hats of to them, Business Post Suck"

                  Dabba,

                  I know how frustrating these things can be, its like being a kid with a new toy

                  Dealt with Skyline for ages, Roger's helped me out know end if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have been flying last weekend.

                  It would be interesting to see what makes people buy from certain shops is it service or is it price or a mixture ???
                  Cheers
