I have been reading the comments on here regarding the missing Swastika's on the flags. In the past I had researched about the Swastika's and they date back to over a thousand years ago. They were originaly a good sign. Even the sign on the Isle of Man flag is in a Swastika style. If I had built a German Model Boat then I probably would display the correct flag on board it. http://www.becc.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d25.html
This company sell the flags and stickers. I have seen many R/C model planes with the Swatika's displayed on them. As a kid when I made Airfix model planes the Stuka's and ME109's I added the correct transfers on to them, with NO comments or actions from my father. But when I was 17 I was out buying myself some clothes. I saw a shirt and tie that were boxed together. I liked the look of it so I bought it. I got home and before I had the chance to take it out of the box and bag it was sealed in my dad went mad. He told me to get it out of this house and take it back. I asked what is wrong with it? I thought it just looked smart. It was a black shirt and a white tie. He said it reprisented Natsizam. I never knew anything about all of this dress code. We wasn't brought up with any type of racism. We were tought that we were all equal in colour and race. I even married a mixed race girl, her father was Jamacian and I have a dark skined daughter. I wouldn't display a Swastika in any other way than on a correctly displayed model. I cannot see any problem with that. That to me would also be the same with the Japanese flag. I just hope I haven't offended anyone with my posted comments. If so then if Admin inform me then I will remove it, as I reiterate I am NOT racist in any way.

Hi Rowen, Thanks for your reply & advice. I will have a good search on both sites. I have purchased a great Turnigy ESC from Hobbyking but for the last 2+ years the programer for it is still unavailable, cannot even find one on Amazon and not even a used one anywhere. I have been on thier mailing list for when they get a delivery in so that I can order one. Just have to wait. But I will check out the other 2 sites and see what thier 180amp ESC's are priced at. Thanks again.

Hi Boatshed, yes live in Canada but Yorkshire born and cheap!
Have used both of them.
My experience is that AliExpress seems to have a larger assortment of fasteners etc. although they do offer a wide range of products.
Banggood seems more focused on specialist equipment for our hobby.
Aliexpress is cheaper. Think as many of the products are similar, it is due to their shipping methods. Cainao, which does most of their shipping is poor. Cheap with poor tracking, they have no idea where anything is. Eventually it will turn up unexpected and unannounced.
Bangood shipping can be tracked and is usually quicker.
In fairness to both, have received all my orders eventually.
Am very happy with Bangood brushless ESCs. Much better modulation than Turnigy, with no programming (suites me as am not seeking pure performance, just reliability) and less expensive.
If you can plan ahead and place orders before you need an item, either works. There are significant cost savings when compared to the more traditional suppliers.

Hi Rowen, I have been on here again, I see you are situated in Canada. You have written that you have purchasd from both AliExpress and Banggood. I had heard bad comments in the past from others saying they have had bad dealings with these companies. How have your dealings and deliveries been from them, Please? 🤞 I am considering trying using them. I have used Wish in the past and have had good results with purchases from them and I also use HobbyKing. They have been great but sadly they seem to have now losed thier UK depot and things from them have to come from Europe or China.

B.i.C.C. Do the Nazi flag in red surface fleet & White U.B. both carry the Swastika.👎
