  • "Parcel was shown as shipped as advertised in 4 days not 2 as advertised. No DHL tracking info available after a week."

  • "Purchased two 5 metre rolls of Easycote covering from ATModels for a model I'm building. The adhesive wouldn't hold tight to the wing, and left the colour smeared over the balsa airframe."
  • "So far the Hobao Hyper VS has needed a new servo horn as the original throttle one stripped causing it to crash, and an engine reseal due to running problems from when it first came out of the box."
  • "I ordered 6 JR extension leads which were sent quickly. 4 are exactly as ordered, 2 are not quite correct - they are the locking type and had been assigned the non-locking type code when the packets were labelled."
  • "There was a problem with my first car which, at first, appeared may be operator error. When it turned out that the car was actually missing a bearing in the rear differential, the guys were quick to send out a replacement unit."
