Does Banana Hobby deserve my $$$?
Hey!!
In the fall of 2011 I purchased 2 EDF jets from Banana Hobby. After replacing a servo which failed for no reason, I have been satisfied with one (Mini AMX). The other (90mm F-18) has been a complete disappointment and I have all but given up on it. For that reason I swore off BH. But they have such exciting planes for a great price. I've been researching them for a few weeks now. I can't find much negative content on Youtube or RC Universe that was created in 2012. I see that BH has a new web site and has discontinued the F-18 I bought previously.
Will my $$$ will be well spent on their models or are people still having problems with BH?
Thanks

I too have purchased many thing from BH, some good , some not so good. servos have been a problem for me and escs. I have purchased airframes using my own electronics. The airframes are top notch. They have started distributing Freewingplanes (good quality) at reasonable prices. If you do purchase, see if they have kits, if problems they request photos of problem. Hope this helps

I wouldn't spend money with them . Lot's of problems reported about them .
A lot of the stuff they sell is overrated . Nice eye candy but fitted with sub-par electronics and mechanics. Another company who once they have your money it's very hard to get them to do anything for you as far as service.
