Quick E-flite on-line store within EU?
Hi all
I have just bought (or at least ordered) the new E-flite Blade 400.
My "problem" is that we have only two resellers of E-flite products here
in Denmark, and one is way to expensive and the other is to slow (but cheap)
Are there any fast resellers within EU that ships mail orders for spare parts
on a day to day basis?
Thanks in advance
Peter
PS: My next heli is going to be an Align T-rex, if this situation is not going to change [8D]

Hi Peter,
I have a similar problem, namely E-Flite isn't at all sold here... There are few shops in the UK (find them via [link]http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/aeroonline/bretailers/bretailersfs.html[/link]), but i havent yet tried any of those.
There are several stores in Germany too, find them via the distributor: [link]http://www.jsb-gmbh.de/[/link]. Haven't tried anyone of these either.
How does RC-Hobby ([link]http://www.rc-hobby.dk[/link]) in Ishoj perform?
Personally, ordering from the US ([link]http://www.ushobbysupply.com[/link]) works fine and is really fast (2-5 days!) with TNT Express. Also with the current currency-ratios you can compensate the added shipmentcosts.
Another tip; some, if not most, Graupner (German) parts also fit (but are pretty expensive). And some Dynam Vortex parts work too (but don't use the motors
).
Good luck and happy flying in the freezing cold over there
.
P.S. If you're talking about expensive... Gheesh, Align is way much more expensive here in the EU then in Asia or US. Their kinda exploiting their monopoly in the RC Heli market here in the EU. Robbe (european reseller) has just ended it's partnership with Align, because of that same monopoly (and the demand from Align to take like 100 pieces from each part at the same time).

Hi Sufflez
Thanks a lot for your detailed reply.
RC-hobby in Ishøj is performing quite good except they only order parts once a week, and from the US of A.
But according to your mail, I can just order the parts from the US myself.
Thanks again
Peter
