Are we being had on the Turnigy 9x/Fsky/Eurgle roundabout, nobody has them at the current listed price. About the only TX/RX systems available are the highend units, being new to the hobby I am not going to spend $500-$1500 just to crash my planes.
They can be found (a copy of a copy anyway) on fleabay for $115 approx plus freight with delivery 30-45 days??
I have been looking through Alibaba.com and came across this
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/35036 ... G_9CH.htmlSo I submitted a query for the supply of 2 units thinking this would be too small BUT I received an email reply in 10 minutes (this is Saturday remember
)

Shenzhen Jingxinhong Tech.Dev.Co.,LtdI searched further and found I could order 1 through AliExpress, cost AUD$95, free registered airmail (with tracking number
), delivery within 15 days, funds in escrow until satisfied, free return freight if required. The interesting thing about this suppliers website is the embedded with "Hobby King Technology Ltd"
Please PM for the web address
Until I don't receive it, the only down side is the lack of PayPal.
So, in 15 days the truth will be known or I'm back to the end of the queue.
After all this I cancelled my order with HK and have requested a refund to PayPal, if that doesn't happen in 7 days (and probably won't) will lodge a dispute. The 45 day limit is getting too close to have no money AND no TX/RX.
Comments appreciated, have I been had again
