Title: Any ideas?
Post by: Natster-104 on February 21, 2014, 01:55:54 PM: Very soon I would like to make a start on building some Antweights to compete with, the only problem is I can't find anything AT ALL, could somebody please give me some websites I could go to to buy some basic components. One thing though; I am English and I wouldn't like to pay shipping charges.
Thanks if you reply,
Natster

Yes, because its a US company.
If its still too expensive, check this site out:

They have a UK warehouse if you need to keep the shipping down.
