I managed to order a few motors a shock flyer and couple esc,s and it seemed to all go through ok. I'm half expecting an email though giving refund. I missed the frsky v8 receivers for £7 odd which is a shame. They were also selling the taranis tx or £63 and I can't help chuckling at the cf2215 motor for 7p !!!
I can't deny that it looks like they are either selling up or as you say, a major database problem.
Will let the forum know if bits arrive or not.
