Bill Fleming Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Does anyone know where I can get a Dynaflite Talon in the UK? I had one a few years ago and would like to build another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slopetrashuk Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 A few shops could still carry old stock. Sure I saw one in Penn Models. - Maybe Blackburn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fleming Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Many thanks, Andy. Unfortunately neither Penn Models nor Blackburn now have a Talon in stock. I'll investigate the cost of importing from the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Fleming Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Many thanks for the info. Irvine do stock the Talon, but at a price; £49.99 I think. Sussex Model Centre do have it for £29.99. I think I jumped the gun a bit. I've ordered one from Tower Hobbies in the US. The kit costs $29.99, postage is $32.49 making the whole deal $62.48 which works out at £31.93 plus a 7 - 14 day wait! I understand that I will not have to pay import duty or VAT on this kit because the cost of the kit (not counting the postage) is less than £18.00! I'll see how it goes. I might just order another from Sussex Models and try it with electric power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fleming Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 My Talon arrived today from Tower Hobbies. Now where's my building board and glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Latam Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Are you going with the V tail or normal tail? Built mine with the V. Hateed it, so I tore it of and rebuilt it with the normal tail. Flys much better for me this way.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fleming Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'll put a normal tail on the Talon, but without all the extra metalwork which come with the last kit (an all moving tail). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
