How to buy USA ARF in Italy?
I like the "big birds" made in USA but, in Italy, it's impossible to buy the arf's of - for example - H9, Lanier, Aero Works, Dave Patrick, Yellow Aircraft... Do you know some dealer that ship to Italy with reasonable cost?

just about anyone will ship you a arf but since it takes up room in a plane for shipping purposes It will cost you. Sorry but there is no way to get around that especially with the size of the boxes arf's come in these days.If you want one bad enough e-mail each company or business and ask how much shipping would be to your location on any certain kit I'm sure they would be more than happy to send you the info your looking for. Hope that helps.

Consider this.
Ask the seller to pack in smaller boxes vs. 1 large box. Ex.. the wing might be in half and it would be smaller,, the fuse might use smaller box also. Subdivide and win

How about models by 3w ,Krill or Fiber Classics these companies have ARF's. 3w and Fiber Classics are in Germany..Krill I think is in the Czech republic. Giantscale models are pretty popular in the european countries from what I understand. I'd try to contact some of the guys that fly competitively in your country and ask where they get their planes. If you can't find one in Europe you can always have one shipped from the USA.

most of the big arf's in the USA are shipped in from somewhere else. Asia or east Europe. Some one in Italy must be importing these. I got a great Spitfire arf from Leo hobbies in Deutschland for $10 plus $40 shipping. It has to be cost effective to ship within the EU. The Czeck Republic has some greta large exports. RC is huge in Italy. There has to be an established importer.
Good luck,

I think what he is trying to say is that lbianchi
should not believe or think that italian goods are inferior to american products. My italian is pretty rusty I haven't used it in years.

Dear Jemo,Giant Scale's Italian translation is correct. I meant that the Italian quality is good as well, and I have attached a link to a big dealer in the area of Rome.
P.s. pasta is great; especially with some pesto sauce and potatoes…yammm.
Happy holidays
Happy New Year
