Flite test UK??

[Freddie.I.E]

Hey, what do you guys think of a flite test UK store. This would be great for shipping in England and hopefully it could be sold in ££££?? Make this post noticed please.

I know it's been discussed before, and I think the closest this will be to reality for a while is their partnership with Graupner which provides most of the FliteTest line of kits and products in a distributor that ships from within Europe.

I just searched for "Flite Test UK" and found multiple shops selling their stuff.

Before you condemn their prices, you should try organizing shipping, customs and other bureaucracy (certificates, document of compliance, EU regulations, lab tests, ...), warehouse, staff and more yourself.

Also remember that Graupner is trying to not take away customers from the hobby shops they distribute products to. If they did better prices, none of the local hobby shops would even think about selling their stuff.
