Default Al's Hobbies what an amazing experience

I ordered one of the new ViperJet foam airframes from Al's hobbies yesterday at 1630hrs I received an e-mail immediatly saying it would be delivered the next day, now in the past next day delivery never happens where I live due to being in the sticks, but they e-mailed me this morning saying it would be delivered batween 1100 and 1200 today, it just arrived at 1150hrs.

This is exemplorary service, well done Ali and the team, long may it continue.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the order, and for the feedback. Its great when processing and delivery work how they should. Have fun with it, and let me know what you think. I am set to fly mine this weekend and am quite looking forward it.
Davo.
I process between 60-100 emails everyday. None get missed. Are you sure that you sent it to [email protected]? If I can still be of any help, you know where to get me, and I will be happy to try and assist. We have sent over 12 Boomerangs to Australia ( Sounds like selling snow to the Eskimo's) this year alone, so there is no issue supplying or getting them to OZ.
Regards Al

Those Foamie Viperjets look good! (much better than the sapac one). I would love to see some pictures of one, or better yet, how about a build thread

It uses the 69mm fan, the same as the Habu. It looks like i finally have something for the fan and motor that came out of the tree at Weston Park, it's a shame my habu wings are still up there

Yes they are on Ali's web site under Tomahawk jets, but you can't mail order them.

Julian...
You know that deep inside you are special, and thats al that counts. Chin up sunshine, the next 45 years will make up for the last I am sure of it!
Carl.
They are up on the site, but the first batch has sold out already. The "proper" shipment is coming in about 7 days time. Feel free to forward order.

Its too late already... It all makes sense now ( You going to JP and being so reserved with your purchasing ) The shops all out at the moment. I will see if I can bring a spare one in from home for you..

No rush really mate! But yeah, the wallet remained in pocket far more than I wanted. Having said that I am hovering over several 'buy' buttons so have a word with me in March when I'm half asleep and changing nappies etc to see what you can steal off me........again
