og Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 i mainly use banggood - 7-10 days delivery at a fraction of the cost - dont spend more tha £15 on one transaction tho or you will incur duty **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel R Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm not sure you'll get the genuine thing on Banggood, certainly "apc style" are available there. Anyway, RCWorld (linked above) or Model Shop Leeds usually seem to come out best for one or two props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
og Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 nigel no they are not apc - they are gemfan usually but they seem to do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The ones from Banggood look just the same as APC and work the same even though they may not be APC. Make sure you buy the right rotation - I assumed the standard rotation would be the cheaper and the reverse rotation dearer but it's not so! I clicked on the wrong direction..... Still with electric it's just a matter of swopping wires but it's so tiresome when well meaning clubmates tell you your props going round the wrong way! Flys the same though but it needed quite different trims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 For 1 prop the saving's not worth buying from Bangood when all sizes can be got together from RCWorld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyg1 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just engines sell genuine apc props at a reasonable price, have to pay postage though which makes them normal price. I get mine from them .delivered within 2 working days. Check em out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Banggod prices for props include postage, so a 10 x7 'APC' Style costs 2.12 pounds while UK suppliers seem to charge more than that for postage alone. RCWorld website says 3.30 for a genuine APC and doesnt say what the postage is. Crazy that the UK post is so dear when the same postman delivers both and the delivery around to our houses is the difficult/expensive bit. UK retailers are subsidising Chinese suppliers!

PatMc Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The link to Bangood only lists APC style electric props, the OP wants 2 ic & 1 electric, hence my previous comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARPERFECT Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Ordered from rc world. only place to have all three in stock. postage was very high though at £5.04. Will see how much it says on the jiffy bag when it comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 1st class post small parcel charge is £3.40 CP, and signed for £4.40. Add on 30p for jiffy bag and 5p for the label, and whatever petrol to the post office? Postage is a nightmare as 10 props would probably be the same postal price. One prop, due to its size and not its weight, would still be £3.40. In a thick jiffy bag.

David Ovenden Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 For large and/or hard to find sizes of APC i/c props I found it cheaper to buy them from Tower Hobby in the US. Shipping was reasonable, but don't exceed the import duty threshold! Edited By David Ovenden on 08/06/2017 07:56:18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel R Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 For future reference, Model Shop Leeds shows postage charge of £3.49 for the 13" props. Up to 12" props, post is £1.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
