"Great shop"

I didn't know the shop but I had read previous very positive reviews. I just have to confirm the positive opinion. I spoke by phone with the owner and he seemed like a very kind and friendly person.

"Got the wrong item delivered to my home…"

Got the wrong item delivered to my home address, I've been waiting for this item to be delivered for weeks and weeks now and then I get it it's the wrong one, I can't believe it...

"Ali Machinchy's family shop - who knew..."

Been wanting a Hanger 9 Ultra Stick 10cc for a while, so I decided to see if I could find a hobby shop within a 30-minute drive that had one in stock. A few calls later, and I am sat-naving my trip to Al's Hobbies near Milton Keynes. The thing that really inspired me to buy this plane was the fact it was re-designed by Ali Machinchy, who is a huge name in the business. Little did I know, that 45 minutes later, I'd be buying this amazing plane from Ali's Dad (Ali Snr) and Ali's uncle in Ali's family shop!!! I was offered a cup of tea within a few minutes of walking in and ended up chatting all things RC with Ali Snr and Ali's Uncle for the best part of 45 minutes, which was a real pleasure - and a real education. As I left that shop, I promised myself that I would never again order anything of any significance online if it was available in-store at Al's Hobbies. Looking forward to my next visit!

"Not a great experience"

Not a great experience. Ordered a few parts and 1 of those was some spares for a rc plane. The item that arrived had 3 parts, should of all been different but there was a a duplicate and the part I needed was missing. No resolution and no updates

"What a great model shop!"

I have been an aeromodeller for years and have been ordering bits and pieces online from Al's Hobbies for a long time, but today was my first visit to the shop. What an absolute treat it was!
I was met by Ali (Snr) and had a lovely time chatting about models of yesteryear and how the hobby has changed. The shop is very well stocked and as far as Ali was concerned it seemed like nothing was too much trouble and he made my visit a real pleasure! I will make every effort to come back soon for another purchase and some entertaining model chat! Thank you!

"It was nice to walk into a friendly…"

It was nice to walk into a friendly shop with an owner that was really knowledgeable about rc. I found the pricing to really good and their website really easy to navigate. The only downside is the lack of parking but there is a Aldi and a Tesco one minute walk from it.
