That extreme shipping charge is why their prices have always been good. They've always had extremely high shipping rates. They also used to hit you hard if you paid with a credit card. The only way I used to get better pricing with them than from other sources was with purchase orders for schools.

5x7- The fins on the Executioner are shorter than those on the Maxi Alpha. You will have to make new ones.

Nice indeed! (I didn’t get any freebies, I’m kinda feeling like it’s a Charlie Brown Christmas ...)



Jeffy, by the way, nice Conquest build! What blue paint is that? I really like the color.

Shipping increases at $50, $100, and $200. Order 3 C12 25-ct bulk packs, and including shipping, it comes out to $2.47/motor. That's the best price I've found on Q-Jets anywhere. My last order with them took a few weeks to receive - no idea why, actual shipping only took 2-3 days.

The spirals are visible only if I look very closely. Not visible even a few inches away - that shiny red pattern is far too distracting to see spirals!

I was strangely thrilled by the Christmas ornament they included. I actually hung it on the tree, which gives me one for the year. My wife had a late meeting, so I already started the Nike-Apache. Tonight she has a haircut appointment, so I'll do more work on it.
