Give me credit for sharing this. Or, perhaps it makes me more of a dummy! Your decision.
This is meant as a warning to those planning to get FPV from the stickies.
I went to Hobby King and I decided to order two 600mW video transmitters. They were about $38 each. I did hang around for the promised lower price. I gave up and bought at that price. Later, I got the discount on a glider.
I really haven't dealt with a site that is international, in this way. I placed my order and the total seemed very high. I took a closer look today and I discovered that I ordered the transmitters from their international warehouse, for an extra $58 fee!!
Heck, I can pay $5+ for shipping, from China, on eBay! It was the first item I ordered and I should have gone back to check. Perhaps they weren't available in the USA warehouse. Me very CA glue, that I wanted was only available from the international warehouse.
I consider this to be a total RIPOFF! I buy from oversea dealers almost daily and I never get such high charges as Hobby King charges.
Mods: I suggest that you include this warning, regarding Hobby King's high international charges, in the stickie section.
