Hi fellas,

Just on the off chance if anyone is interested, PerthRC has been made the distributor in Australia for Bill Hempel's aircraft.


Cheers.

You serious? i was just looking at the 40% hemple yak55m the other day on bill hemple website and was going to email him to see if there was an australian importer.

That is great news, I hope it makes the product more accessible.

PS. after a new battery for my 14mz does anyone have one?

when will they be available? is he going to stock them or just get them when ordered?

Well they have arrived "apparently." We should have them on Monday.

Still no 14MZ's!!!!

Thats great news, just sux my budget won't allow it, guess the fiance will be happy with that lol.

howie i think the 14 mz's get shipped from another wharehouse or something like that. there are plenty of 14mz batteries, i had my hands on a lot of them last week.

beverley flyer the best thing would be to call him and talk direct. i only posted as a matter of interest and i dont know all the info. perth rc 0893288986.

Brian told me that he will be stocking some. I have no idea how many or what. I have committed to one from the first Container (a 50% Yak) I know he was hoping to get a decent QTY on order to make the shipping affordable.

He got the 14MZ Baterries in last week.

We are very lucky people here in the West. Perth RC is really stepping up to the mark with agencies for some of the best products available (again - or as usual).

These sorts of planes would be out of reach to us in the West if it wasn't for Brian. Especially as the truckies seem to be charging millions of dollars per trip across the country now (based on what the transport companies charge us to send an ARF) and the apparent change in the law that now makes it compulsory to work very hard at destroying anything like an ARF if it gets transported out of state. (Crushed boxes and driving garden stakes through the centre of the boxes seem to be the most efficient ways for them to achieve compliance with that law).

the good part about all of this is that the trucks that take products back east are almost empty and the freight charges are a lot less. its also safer for the planes because they can "top load" a plane properly.

ok cool i'll give him a call

Hi all well I can vouch for Bills lates offering. My Ka6 cr glider turned up the other day, simply gorgous, well packed and some pretty clever engineering

kool jus seen perth rc on hemples site last night, i like the yak wonder wat its gonna go for

I spoke with the owner of Perth RC about a 3m yak and wanted to know an approximate cost. His reply was that purchase price would be pretty close to the retail price listed on the hempel website, plus a portion of the overall shipment shipping cost. Approximately $100 or so.

cheers,

Jeff

So that means you'll be looking at around $1600au to $1700au for a 3m yak? That's a really good price compared to the other 40% wood arf's available here in AUS.
