I found a fantastic RC hobby shop right smack along Goodwood Road. Model Flight has been around for 30 years and carries an extensive stock of RC models, products and accessories. Take your pick from planes, trucks, cars, boats, helicopters, gliders...this is a haven for the big boys and the little champs! A fan of RC helicopters (thanks to my sons), and having bought one some months back from a toy store, I couldn't help but peruse their collection here. A Twister Micro Ninja Helicopter was priced at $29.99 and the most expensive model, Thunder Tiger, fetched a price of $495. Yikes! Just how we women ponder over rows of shoes, handbags or rack of clothes, I can now relate to how men would salivate over shelves of smooth and curvy steel shaped RC. It's a lot to take really and I would just pick any model and take it immediately to the counter. But I've been told by that cost, maintenance, frequency plus age group plays an important role in buying the models here. Who would have known! I found it hard to leave this shop with my sons in tow. I still think it's a perfect place to leave your men and children here, while you head out and shop and spend an hour ir two in the nearby spa centre. read more

Freaking awesome kids, this is where you can put your pocket money to good use. Flying & boating contraptions of the RC variety!! The great thing about getting your toy from Model Flight is that when you crash it (dont worry, it's inevitable) you can get replacement parts right away. This is good for impatient people such as myself, I don't like waiting a week or so until I can fly my SR 120 Helicopter again. It's fun even for just a browse, Christmas is coming up and there are models to suit every budget and lots of hand advice from the staff there who are just as geeky as any customer. Can be a bad idea to bring the kids in here, the constant nagging is enough to drive anyone another half crazy, especially boys. My brother just bought this crazy big RC Helicopter which can do barrel rolls, oh the joyous fun!! read more

I need to preface this review by stating, openly and honestly, that I am a complete geek. I'm also a very keen virtual aviator and plane nut. In fact, I'm typing this with my keyboard set up between the joystick and throttle quadrant of my Saitek X52 HOTAS and in front of my TrackIR set up. So yeah, I'm a flight sim geek. But there's days that are too good to be spent inside, and that's where this place comes in. They've got such an awesome range of RC kits. The one that I'm presently salivating over is the E Flite F-4 Phantom. They've got plenty of different types of RC aircraft, both fixed wing and rotary, and there's cars and boats too. I love this place and could spend hours just browsing here. read more

I know my husband likes this store, so that makes me like it, because I know if I ever get stuck on what to get him for a gift, I know it's a safe bet I will find something here. They have a good range of products, model cars, planes, boats, everything. It's a great option for the kiddies, get them away from those nasty computer games for a few hours and have them do something useful. read more

Modelflight is a awesome Hobby Store in Goodwood. I bought my first proper RC Plane from them, the E-Flite Apprentice S 15e. The staff there were more than happy to answer any questions I had about RC Planes. Their store is very organised and is very easy to find exactly want you came in to find. I would definitely recommend going their as it is a great place to imagine. read more

When our unit arrived for my 8yo's birthday it didn't work. That's OK because stuff happens. So I sent it back and modelflight were amazing. They replaced the unit, threw in extra batteries and chargers and shipped it back on airfreight. So the product is great, works perfectly, but the customer service is even better. Thanks ModelFlight, you rock! read more

I know some model vehicle fanatics and they swear by this store. As a kid they were always something I would beg my parents to buy, try to build, and inevitably give up after super gluing myself to a table. A good place to shop for gifts, especially for all those man-child relatives. read more

Order #100034991. On the 29 of December at 10:00 am, I had a chat with Matt online to seek advice and clarification regarding this "Dubro Tru-Spin Prop Balancer". I asked Matt whether this Dubro Tru-Spin Prop Balancer would work with a smaller Prop "5 Inch propeller" for my quad copter or it is sensitive enough for a 5-inch propeller. I even told Matt that based on online review Dubro Tru-Spin Prop Balancer might not the best or sensitive enough for a 5-inch/smaller propeller. I told Matt that I want to be certain that this Dubro Tru-Spin Prop Balancer is the right one before I place the order. Matt assures me "Dubro Tru-Spin Prop Balancer" is the best in the market. I placed an order at 10.30 am based on his professional opinion plus express shipping so that I can have the product arrive overnight because I need it URGENTLY! I rang up Modelflight around 4.45 pm and spoken to Jason. He told me I need an extra part - Dubro Shaft to work with the 5 Inch propeller for my quad copter. Now, I have several serious problems - 1) Parcel already shipped out. 2) Dubro Shaft needs to be ordered from the supplier after New Year. Meaning I have to wait for another 2 weeks. 3) Dubro shaft could easily cost another AUD20-25 plus another AUD 7-8 shipping cost. 4) I need this balancer (including the shaft) urgently. I am totally speechless, frustrated and disappointed with the experience! Yes, I could return the product but you have wasted my time and more importantly... I am extremely disappointed! What solution do you have for me? read more
