The purpose of this page is to list things people might want and those “hard to find” items that you are willing to supply at cost + P&P in small quantities. For the moment it is limited to the UK only.
The emphasis is “at cost”, not e:Bay trading, OK?

Wanted.
The questions I am most frequently asked is where to obtain the “major” bits of indoor hardware.
ie. Winders, Rubber strippers, Torque meters – so these are in demand – if you have any unused items let me know.
I’d love to get hold of some different coloured tubing suitable for O-rings, I like to rotate my motors during a flying session and this allows easier tracking of them. I’m down to green at the moment, yellow, red, blue would be great.
Also Ambroid and Duco are in short supply – again if you have any spare let me know.
Finally if you have any good TAN II in the fridge or freezer we have a number of new recruits who are very much in need of rubber to match their improving flying abilities – you simply cannot fly the top times without great rubber!!
