Ok, so I have tried to get a 3DHS airframe from the states and they dont sell anything larger than a 62" frame to Australia. if they could be imported in all there sizes would the flyers of Australia buy them?
lets put it to a vote and see if it will change there minds!

Are you telling me 3DHS are not available down under from any hobby shops, what the heck do you guys fly, are EF available?

no shops in Australia stock 3DHS.
yes we do have EF here

Open a shop then, money to be made for sure, heck I will send a container over for you, we can profit share.

I dont have the cash to open a shop, but if you want to send a container full of 3DHS frames, I would gladly share the profits with you!!!

I have recieved an email from ADC hobby store and the largest frame they can send is a 59" frame. they say it due to usps postage limits.
I now have the box size and weight of the 71" frame,so the fun and games start trying to find a good company that doesnt charge the earth to send one to Australia.

See if they can get it shipped to you direct from the factory in China

do you know the company name in china that make them? I tried to look it up but just found the cheap crap copies,I tried a 330sc copy of the 57" model and the incedences were way off.
Now I would like a 71" slick and also the 104" 3dhs models, but it looks like I can only look at pics of them.

No i wouldnt know the factory name sorry. Talk to 3DHS in America and ask if you can buy it from them and get them to send it direct from China, the plus side for them is they still make the sale

they are made by arf mfg the sme factory that make peak, sds, slipsteam, eg, goldwing and about 90% of the other wooden arf's.
to get 1 drop shipped from the factory to australia is around $90

The more you buy the cheaper the freight costs per item coz they can then crate them all up togethr and send as i crate or even go for a whole container load.

Here is a thought, Take a train to our country, do a little sightseeing, buy a couple of 3DHS airframes while you are here, and take them back with you when you go home.

OOOPS, I should have said take a plane.
