Anyone know where to buy hollow pool noodles in UK similar to these?

http://www.poolproducts.com/cgi-bin...T1=TOY+GLA+HR20

I found a couple of shops that sell the solid ones but I have no luck with the hollow ones.

Cheers,

I use the ones from B&Q they are pipe insulators and they only come in one colour - grey.

Mark,
thanks for the reply. I know about the pipe insulators but I only want the noodles for visibility. Ideally one orange and one green but that doesn't really matter.

Cheers,

Angelos:

They are a seasonal item, perhaps in the spring/summer they will appear. Here they are sold here in places from hardware stores to department stores to drugstores.

If you can't find them I'd be happy to get you a couple and ship them, but the shipping cost would be much more than the noodles themselves, even as light as they are! I suppose I could cut them down to whatever size you need and just ship two small pieces...

Did you try here?

Perhaps this is a dumb question, but why do you guys use noodles/pipe insulation on your skids?

I too want them for visibility. The heli is barely visible when I take it this high http://www.model-gadgets.com/camcop..._photos/207.jpg However the bigger problem is hovering sideways at distance without the canopy. You blink for a second and next think you are not sure if the heli is tilted left of right. With one green and one orange noodle it should be easy to figure it out from how much one noodle is hiding the other.
