Hi Tony
I went through the same thing here in Oz and ended up buying direct from them. I would shoot an email direct to them. I ended up 'talking' with Rich Greb himself and found him to be most helpful.

Tony, blackbird has it's headquarters in Spain. So you do not have to order it from the us. Also Spain is part of the EU:)

Thanks Sean, I had already seen your review and that was part of the reason I chose the balckbird over the merlin
Colin, I bought the basic kit and the postage was $55 approx but I wont know the import duty I pay for sure untill it arrives but its about 22% |

I'm over here in Australia and got one last year direct from them.
Fast and easy no problems. It works great but will take abit of practicing. 7D is easy to fly on it, nice and light. |
