Looking for good shops to get components and materials from online (I live in London and dont have a car so tricky to get around to model shops).
I have done a lot of searching online this evening but haven't found any site that has great search / filter options (like dabs.com)
Suggestions would most welcome.
Thanks
Ivan

Hi
The full list of shops in the UK selling diydrones products is here - http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/list-of-all-diy-drones
Otherwise you can have a look at our store http://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/, and if you have any questions just contact us, we can help you source special components if you need.
Hello Ivan,
I think I can help you, I run the web store www.buildyourowndrone.co.uk, I could be a little bias :), however I think I have just about everything you could need to get up and running, I have just about every item that both Jdrones & DIY Drones stores carry in stock here in the UK.
Please feel free to drop me an email with any questions at martin@buildyourowndrone.co.uk and I will be happy to help :)
I have a Drone Zone event coming up in a few weeks, it might be worth booking a place and coming down to take a look and talking with a few of us there to gain some more first hand information, the last one held had a number of people looking to get into the UAV world and found the day very worth while :)
Regards
Martin
