UK online heli shops

Ill try getting something going here. What I would like is a list of links to UK online stores or just your local modal shop. Even where you have had bad customer care/ good customer care. I tried this at one of my pc forums and it helped people out a lot. When you buy something/anything, shop keepers are so....when you have a problem...well. Lets see who really cares and is helpfull. Hope this takes off, cos I hate people getting used.

Hi Dredge,

That's a good idea. But as site owner, I will disclaim first that all views put up on this thread does not reflect the views of Helifever or any of its associates.

Let's get rolling...

Thumbs up Internet shop for all heli's.

Hi,
This is a shop that I would recomend to anyone in the uk, They will even post out of the UK at cost I think,
I use them all of the time for my heli gear and have never been let down. Prices are good throughout most of there range.

They are Based in Hinkley near Tamworth, west Midlands.
I visit there shop when I'm up that way and never fail to be impressed as they are dedicated to helicopters.

Regards to all,
Daz.

i've used www.sussex-model-centre.co.uk

They sent the order when i expected it, and everything arrived so i can't comment on after sales support. I would happily use them again.

Thanks Colin.
As I am new to all this, I spent ages looking at those web sites
If we get quite a few links, I could, if you like, do some thing like this:
# GOOD SERVICE
# NO PROBLEMS AS YET

Taging a rating,

Hi,
This appears to be a step too far, If any problem arrises with the shops listed I'm sure that some one will mention it anyway. None of us want to get ripped off or go to a place with bad service.
The reason that I mentioned Modelhelis is that I have used them for a few years now, and they are great.
The shop is never empty when I go there and this says all that needs to be said.

Attach a pole vote system to say weather visitors are satisfied then at least the views are fair.

Regards,
Daz,
