Keith Lewzey Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I feel we need to put a reason down guys so:- 1. Al's MK - purely because they are local enough for us to drive to & have a huge stock. 2. Robotbirds - Always next day delivery, or you can collect, excellent quality Hyperion goodies. 3. Horizon - The service on the DX6i recall was extraordinarily good, I have never known the like. 4. I was going to put my YT 30e size Zlin 50L for the superb quality on a model for under £100, but my vote has to go to the Dream Flight weasel Evo for the quality & simplicity of a product that fly's so well. Seasons felicitations, Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Card Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 1. West London Models - Great blend of proper "old fashioned" good service and an unrivalled knowledge of electric flight. 2. Puffin Models - In my experience never any mistaken or missing items and always next day delivery. Many others could learn a thing or two from them.3. Horizon Hobbies - Exceeded my expectations with the speed of turn around on a receiver firmware update.4. Overlander 49" Extra - So much plane for so little money!
