When you send your helicopter to me, please DO NOT send the battery charger, manual etc.

All I need is the helicopter, the lipo, the Transmitter with batteries, and any spare parts you may have that may be needed to repair it if that is needed.

It is best to ship it in the original box as this is the lightest form.  I suggest that you do NOT send aluminium cases, they are a lot heavier..... and so cost more to ship around

Quite naturally, we all want to save money, especially if we have just crashed our beloved helicopter and are facing a large spare parts bill ?

So I have done quite a bit of research into the best and most cost effective ways to do this.  You can of course choose any method, but I have listed below some of the great deals I have found searching the web for cost effective shipping

If you want to use Royal Mail, Parcel Force 48 is usually the cheapest. MY address for parcels is

Ian Turner
62, Tarragon Drive
Blackpool
Lancs
FY2 0WN
United Kingdom
