We are a passionate, well-stocked specialist model aircraft and accessory shop dedicated to RC aeroplanes and the enthusiasts who build, fly and enjoy them. We pride ourselves on providing quality products, honest advice and exceptional service, and will bend over backwards to support your interests and growth in this awesome hobby.
We run our business a little differently, operating from our own dedicated shop and opening outside of my day job as an Air Incident, Quality, Safety & Compliance Investigator for Air New Zealand Engineering & Maintenance. This helps keep overheads low, prices competitive and service flexible. Support local and visit our shop at 75 Bassett Street, Burwood, Christchurch.
