I find some sales on kits now, but some parts are out and have been for a while. For example, boom supports and boom for 600N Pro. Since I crashed my 600N last month I had spare boom and boom supports on hand. I like to resupply my spares stash. If I crash again I'm just down for a undetermined amount of time. Ball links same way - none available, fortunately I still have a few.

How do other U.S. based TSA pilots get parts? Can you order from oversees and do oversees vendors have parts?

I'm just thinking ahead.

That is great news! I saw Amain having all the TSA parts on sale and was worried they were ditching the lineup!

I noticed the 600n canopy not on sale anymore. I should have bought one more while it was $56. Thats good to hear though. I will keep TSAs as long as parts are available. Love the way they fly. And they are tough birds as well.

My 700N is my favorite. I have flown TREX 700N as well. Both are very nice helis, but I have to say that TSA has a rock solid tail. The Trex is touchy on boom, boom supports etc and seems to act weird if all is not 100 percent locked in.

Good to hear amain keeping parts. They will continue to get most of my business on TSA as well as other.

Aus has stopped selling kits. Tough market down here.

PowerDyne · 07-03-2015, 12:29 PM

Experience RC Just posted on facebook a couple of days ago regarding parts. They are going to be getting a parts shipment in soon, and TSA has announced a Summer sale going on until September. 30% off all kits.

Nigel had also commented that.

FlyBri3 · 07-03-2015, 02:11 PM

Tad off topic but the TSA FB page has started to slowly get active again! So hopefully that is a good sign that there is movement over at TSA HQ! Fingers crossed!

matt blaisdell · 07-03-2015, 02:25 PM

I have talked to Steve at experience rc. He is a great guy. He Will continue to sell TSA. Nigel is also pushing his new 560 , so keep an eye out .

That's the one I have been waiting to get my hands on since Ircha last year.

Can't wait for the 560 to go out for public sale!

Isnt Nigel form Aus.? How does that happen?This is the second year of a parts shortage issue.Fb page being active means nothing to me.
Steve at exp.r/c said the same thing last year. Ended up getting most of my stuff from amain..they seem to keep a bigger supply than exp.

Lighty · 07-04-2015, 07:24 PM

Modelflight , the distributors said they could get a kit in for me but not stocking it. So this tells me that there's no support for it here.
They have been out of stock for nearly 12 months.
You guys get nice pricing, a 700n here is $850

fozz · 07-04-2015, 08:27 PM

Is it possible that it is more of a nitro not being as popular as electric thing? The Modelflight website is showing both 700e kits in stock.

Lighty · 07-05-2015, 05:34 AM

Never seen an electric fly in any of the clubs or funflys. Nitro for the win.

fozz · 07-05-2015, 07:21 PM

Wow, that is odd then.

Rob43 · 07-09-2015, 03:24 PM

Interesting you mentioned the electric fly, Lighty. Our model airplane club has one each June. What I think is funny about this is that 99% of the flying done by club members is already electric. I am suggesting they now need a "glow fly" to spice things up, LOL. You can also tell the ones who used to fly nitro but don't anymore. Their engines are sadly in need of maintenance! Most couldn't keep them running, even in their airplanes...

FailureToFly · 08-12-2015, 06:32 PM

The TSA 700E is back in stock at Modelflight as are many of the TSA parts.

I wonder if this means they are back supporting TSA in Aus?

After the Protos Max 2 hit at $1100AUD, I'm thinking a TSA 700E for $529 (yes, $529AUD) is an absolutely bargain buy.
