thanks a lot greg, i will have a look though that little lot and hopefully find a good deal

if i get caught out and have to pay duty what will happen? will i get a letter saying i have a package and need to pay £xxx before delivery or what?

If is being delivered by Royal Mail or Parcel Force they will simply collect the charges when they deliver. If it is someone like DHL, UPS etc sometimes they deliver then you get a letter about the charges at a later date.
R/C equipment usually doesn't attract a duty charge but you would get done for the VAT at 17.5% plus usually a 'clearance fee' for the courier. Any charges are for the total of the goods INCLUDING the shipping cost!
