Radio Control Laser – Order Parts You Need In June
Order Your RC Laser Parts and Boats Before The End Of June.
This is a quick reminder if you need parts or are thinking of purchasing a boat or kit to do so before the end of June. This is not necessarily because it’s the end of the financial year – although that is a good reason. July is a full on month here for us at Radio Control Sailing Australia and orders wont be able to be filled quickly in July.
So if you need THAT part for your RC Laser on the weekend or in a few weekends time – get in and order it now.
Thanks in advance and wishing you all great sailing this weekend.
