Sure would like to play with a few, and if it's close to reasonable, then I wonder what the feasibility of using them to replace air cylinders on retracts is?
Hi Chuck, when I started with the Lights and now these items I quickly learned there is no profit, I pay for the shipping from the UK and now Canada. Plus throwing in the monthly fee for my website and im about breaking even, I really am doing this to bring something I like to the hobby and what I think as a whole can benefit the hobby. I am trying to keep these to as close to the price as if you were to buy direct, that being said my shipping will be much cheaper since I can send most items in the standard small box from USPS. I have the little PG12s listed on my website, I had to add two dollars just to break even on the PQ12s. If I could order 500-1k I could sell them about 5$ cheaper
but I don't have thousands to spend for one order, give me time as I build up stock I will be able to match prices. I have priced my lights to beat the competition as well. Another way I look at this decision is this, depending on the servo you choose or the air cylinder/2-way valve/air line and any fittings/tanks/fill ports this is a much cheaper option. Most servos would range from 50 plus for a gear door and they are heavier than the PQ12
