AIM aircraft

Hi Chaps,
Ive been looking at the AIM aircraft on their site http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/armamen.../resin09mm.htm .
They seem a good price. I cant find a way to order stuff on there. Am I on the wrong site? Is there a UK site? Am I loosing the plot?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

Just made my first order from him. You have to send him an e-mail asking for a quote including shipping. He will get back with you on a price for the items you want and add shipping. May take a few though.

HI Tony if you email Dave at AIM he will send you an invoice. aim_schmid@yahoo.com

If you go to the 'HOME' page on his website you will find a heading about ordering.

Thanks for the info. Any idea (roughly) what the shipping and delivery times are to the UK?

Tony, usually 3-4 days. Surprisingly quick.

Get a quote from Dave at AIM. It's only an invoice so you don't have to go with it if there is anything you don't like.
Worry more about the import duties levied at this end but that depends on STATED value so you could always ask Dave to put the lowest value that he is comfortable with. He's a good guy so I'm sure he can do something.

The aircraft are a good price, when you compare them to the Skytrex ones - are the skytrex ones really twice as good as the price indicates? Im a little nervous of the import duties malarkey having been caught one too many times with vat and what those robbing buggers at the post office call an admin charge, but it has to be worth a try.

The customs duty isn’t so bad usually, it’s the thieving barstewards at the Post Office charging £8 admin for doing sod-all that gets me.

Normally Dave’s stuff is priced low enough to get under Customs radar, though I suppose if you order a vast amount it might get their interest.

Quick tip - AIM planes have a stub with a screw in underneath so they can be attached to a magnet. If you don’t want the screw (you may be replacing it with a ballbearing for a gimbal mount), let Dave know. It saves you the necessity of unscrewing them yourself.

FYI the Skytrex product is solid white metal where the AIM is resin which might have something to do with it.
Beware the Skytrex product which is generally too heavy for Gimbal Mounts to handle .
