hmmm, I would like to contribute my experience though, I bought a charger Nicad from this place and it went berserk in the first week. Returned the set for warranty or service and they kept it for 2 years to return me. i had to pay chinese new year visit twice to make them realise I wasn't going to give up asking for the charger back. Never patronised them ever since.

I got screwed there too.

When I first started out in this hobby, a friend recommended I drop by that shop when I was in Singapore to check out their Hornet spares and that was what I did the first thing I landed in Singapore.

I was screwed the moment I steped in to the shop. I will never visit nor recommend that shop to anyone.

Some people just don't know what the meaning of 'hobby' is. You want to do the business that's fine, but don't screw everyone in the process. I did not force you to start the business in the first place.

Anyway, just my experience, I am sure other have better experience there (I hope).

I also will never go back to this shop again. Bought a curtisyoungblood heli book from an auntie there (think her name is amy) a couple of years back when i was still new to heli...asked 10 questions she unwillingly answered 1...i guess newbies r not welcome in that shop.

Sometimes you got to catch her (Amy) at the right time mah.... .

Tips: (but not guranteed)

Go there because u want to buy n not see see look look.
Go there because only HS has it
Go there because u don't mind paying a bit more
Always smile
Always start the conversion with "hello Amy"
Ask about the item u require n be specific about details
Confirm purchase n get the F out of there..........

At least this how I get things done.

Where got Such Thing one.....

"only go there when want to buy". If cannot look see look see then how to know I will like it or not.

I think if I have that just buy attitude then I think I will probably be able to open a second hand shop myself and give the same treatment to people who come to my little shop because I got .

[stuka]

..but i do agree with Mechplas....gota catch her at the rite time....lady sales tend to have mood swing...

Its an attitude that can be seen in many other local retail outlets, not only in LHS. You should know by now,.. thats the way things are in this country.

But the best LHS for the "look see look see" is Rotor...I think.

R/C hobbyist normally should readup on certain item either on Forums or Magazines to find out more about specifics before even making a trip to the LHS to look see before intending to buy.

Its a luxury in Singapore as these LHS are just a few km away. Some R/C hobbyist in, say USA or UK probably have to get their stuff thru mail order and only receive the items after 4 days or so.

Well, we have a choice, weather to patronise or not. Exercise at will....

and that's the trouble still you see hehehe, I still have to order props from overseas cos LHS can't deliver it soon enough, or carry it when they advertised "in stock" when actually they have none. I am still waiting for Christopher to refund me my money....

You remember the one that Airborne gave me? THis special 4540 GWS prop when cut down to a "secret" length gave me that crazy speed and pickup on my screamo, you witnessed it yourself before I need that prop, just can't find it anywhere... Give me a shout if you have news about it.
