Hence, Every Hobby store on the planet stocks Tamiya, Hence every Hobby store in NZ has Tamiya plugs. Granted Lower Hutt is the suck hole for hobby shops, But J & N in Upper Hutt will definitely have a few sets in stock. As it happens its common paractice to melt the plugs and for people to assemble their own cell packs so replacements are easy to get.. Hence hence hence, Instead of telling me how much you doubt the advice, or wasting time telling me I'm a pratt, Just go to your local hobby store and buy some. I phoned J & N and she wasn't sure if they had any (I actually do know Ross). I spoke to Modelcrafts amd Hobbies and he wasn't sure if he had any either. So I'm sorry, every hobby shop on the planet may not have them in stock (ok they may order them for you). I know you are well intentioned Mets. There was a time when I would rush down to my local model shop for any excuse but those days have gone I'm afraid. I used to love calling in on the 436 Model Shop in New Plymouth; a wonderful hour looking through their stuff and I am pleased to say its still going on the east coast now. The internet has made a serious dent in hobby shops income. They, in my experience, have to order stock when someone wants something rather than stocking up the shop and have stock which doesn't move (Acorn Models in Chch is pretty impressive!). They love people who buy models off the internet and when they have a problem, go down to the local model shop and expect help. I support my "local" when I can but it is not always practical. As an aside, the electric plane I purchased off the internet had a switch on it. The manual did not explain what it was for and neither did the guy I bought it off (so much for knowing your product). He suggested I talk to someone who knew about rc aircraft when the rc gear played up. The twit didn't know I have been flying rc for that last 10 years! I now have the plane flying with a new transmitter and receiver and it flys surprisingly well for a "cheap foam model". I've even thermalled it ;o) |
