A friend of mine is considering using RC models for his final year electronics project. He is searching elsewhere for resources but I offered to ask on here as well.

So, does anyone know of a good and/or reputable and/or cheap place for acquiring RC models and related resources?

Any help would be much appreciated, though I shoudl stress this is in the UK only. Advice on where to go in Texas will not be useful at all.

That would be reputable. Their family of products is well-known and extensively supported.

Hobbyking is the best source for cheap stuff. They have a warehouse in Germany so you can get stuff from there shipped to the UK, or you can get even cheaper stuff from the Hong Kong warehouse if you don't mind waiting a bit longer. The quality can be questionable, but I've never had any issues, and when I can buy 4 times as much stuff for the same price I really can't complain.
