Aerosoft is in Germany, SimWare is in belgium .... The price difference is not due to the location of the reseller, just to the hardware itself (metal vs plastic) !

Post by: Ballast on April 11, 2011, 13:09:59: I've ordered alot of stuff via the internet from the US in that price range and i never had to pay import tax overhere :) Or the costum service goes only after the 'big fish' or i'm just lucky.

You can always ask the shop if they can mark the package as a gift. Gifts are free from import tax.

You don't need to buy it in america, as there are resellers (for both) in Europe ...
