It looks like there are forum settings that restrict users with low post counts from making posts with urls embedded.

Anyway, back on topic... titanium spools shouldn't be too pricey... the TR ones are GBP£25. I would expect the TOP ones to be £15-£20 for the ally ones knowing what UK prices are like compared to the US

i went to my local hobby shop today and they don't have this wood screw, they only have #4 and #6, so where can i find this wood screw? i appreciate your help, thankz....
