    I am so, so sorry to read that, I can only imagine how cheated you are feeling. Thank you for posting this warning, we did suspect them .... but you have discovered far more and been hurt in doing so. Better luck to you and your son in the future.

    I hope to keep the H501S for the time being. I had previously built and flown Trex helicopters but never really conquered my fear of ‘nose-in’ flying. The quad is giving me confidence and I’m improving daily . Another alternative to Dronegateway appeared on the UK ‘Bay site last night - Mavic...

    I think Toby's Deals state that they have an arrangement whereby they pay all the UK taxes and Duty - I'm sure it's on their web site somewhere, maybe under FAQ. I'll have a browse and and get my facts straight. Can't find it on their site but plenty of posts and reviews where folk comment that...

    I was in that same boat, having a Hubsan H501S as an introduction - but am now awaiting delivery of my Mavic Pro Platinum to take the next step.

    Not wishing to hi-jack thread but maybe of interest to OP - a certain E Global supplier based in France has a three day / 3% price drop - the Mavic Pro Platinum down from their recent sales price of £737 to £717.29. I've heard all the bad tales but, for £21, we can insure against losses etc in...

    I've tried to contact them on more than one occasion and managed to get a phone call answered by their UK office - but they immediately hung up. Prices are good, maybe too good, but as those prices are clearly marked 'ex tax' I was asking if tax such as VAT was added by Customs. Still no wiser!

    Tempting prices ....

    I don’t want to double post but am drawing attention to the General Discussions and a Buyer beware thread. UK fliers are particularly vulnerable.

    UK Mavic-bargain buyers beware.

    You may have noticed a rash of ads on that well know sales site, offering Brand New Mavic Pro Platinum and/or with the Flymore Combo for the temptingly low price of sub £500. There have been at least 15 such ads, including some for Brand New Inspire 2 at around the same price. Beware!! The site...
