Order#: 991820
Product link:http://[link]http://www.nitroplanes....dyelbrso1.html[/link]www.nitroplanes.com/newdyelbrso1.html
Hello, received my sonic 185 today, both wingtips were damaged as well as all the decal sheets were severely creased. Don't really care about the decals but the crumpled wing tips are not acceptable. I'm disappointed I can't put this together and go fly tomorrow! I'm hoping that NitroPlanes can handle this situation promptly.
Thank you and best regards,
Barrie Grant

Sorry, didn't initially see this forum, my bad.
order yhst-17210252890263-156690
Order Number 998345
I received my order and the canopy for the P-51 Marie is messed up. The seat back for the pilot is not behind the pilots back, it broke loose and is wedged between the pilot and canopy.
Here's the link to the Canopy I ordered:

Glue the seat back in, then reglue the canopy... an easy fix.
Elmer's white glue will work fine for this.
It's much easier and far quicker than trying to get a replacement.
FYI: Nitro's staff does not frequent these forums as often as they used to.

I hear ya Topgun. I order this one to replace a canopy that I had to open up to glue the pilot down. Once you open up a canopy it doesn't look that great... at least mine doesn't[] ... That's why I ordered a new one.

An allen wrench or a pick tool will do the job.

Its me again
We have only received one email stating that would would have to pay for total shipping costs to get the broken plane replaced.
My wife replied stating that she doesn't think its fair that we have to pay for anything.
We have not heard anything back. My wife bought this plane as a Christmas gift but it arrived broken. To repair all we need is another fuselage with the motor mount and servos in place. I can swap everything else out, wings, motor, ESC etc...
Please help us on this request. If we dont get any help on this in the next couple of days we will file a report with BBB and also have our credit card company dispute the charge.
This is a last resort and we hope Nitroplanes can uphold their end of the bargain.

Order Number 994830
This plane arrived fine. During assembly the right axel stub fell off the landing gear. The only thing holding it together was a heavy coat of black paint. Got an email saying the gear was on backorder with no ETA. Can you get one out of another return?

RE: DAMAGE SHIPPING/MISSING PARTS ISSUES____Post here
hello i recently purchased my first plane from nitroplanes and have just 1 problem that i could not overcome with my modeling skills. i bought the exceed f-3 tornado sweep wing receiver ready-kit.after assembly of the model i installed my receiver and did a radio check and noticed one of the elevator servos is dead. i opened up the belly of the bird and chased the wires and switched them on the y connector and still the same servo was unresponsive. i dont want to tear this plane apart anymore over this servo that should be working, if there is anything that you guys can do in a timely manner would be awesome i was really looking forewarde to flying before i have to go back to work but that is unlikley now.
p.s i usually have a spare servo lying around and could make due but my luck just keeps running out lol
my order number was-

Ordered my Katana 50cc back on 11-29-10. Received Saturday 1 week later. The canopy is damaged beyond repair. I called Nitroplanes the following Monday. Guy said to email pics and they would send me a new one. Since then I've made several attempts to contact them to no avail. Can you please help me. My order number is 1027337. I think this might be the replacment part but not sure as there is no pic showing the part and the discription is vauge. http://www.nitroplanes.com/cmpkatana50-canopy.html. Here's a link to my my plane http://www.nitroplanes.com/giscka50arfn2.html. I hope you can help me out.
Thanks!
Cliff Scott

My god, I can't believe NitroPlanes is in business. Their support sucks. Thankfully I hung up after 45 minutes on hold waiting for a few questions on two planes we wanted for Christmas -F3 Tornado EDF for myself and the RC 55 Sky trainer for my oldest. Ended up only getting the two cheap backyard electric X fighter for myyoungestkids and what a disappointment.
order # 17210252890263-160737
Opening them up on Christmas day, one of my kids didn't get the fricken antennafor the transmitterand no spare parts. I've called NP 3 time and sent two email. No responses and no RMA;
Not only on the planes junk, they are unflyable. Tail heavy all the way, add counter weight for a slightly forward CG and the plane just sinks. Experience -I've built dozens, am a A&P and PP.

Thankfully my lesson was only $67 and not a $500.
No one at NP cares so off to the BBB.
If you got money to throw away go to the casino, at least you might get something inreturn instead of throwing it away on the cheapest Asian crap they can import.

RE: DAMAGE SHIPPING/MISSING PARTS ISSUES____Post here
yeah im tripping out on how they refer you from there site to this forum for support but they never check it. i have had my plane for a month now almost and they still haven't responded. i must be trippin out because i cant believe this. i would expect this from stuff bought and shipped from china but there an hour away from me in california. i honestly don't care enough to call the 3B and i already fixed the aircraft on my dime and have flights on it, but i'm just gonna vent on here because i am appalled at all these folks on here getting garbage shipped to them and than nitroplanes acting like a bounch of ghosts.
P.S BURKMAN your luckey you even got through with there number, when i called i got voice mail 10x-15x douring there buisness hours and finally just gave up trying to call.
nitroplanes.com representative if you read this please give us a valid reason for your lack of costumer support?

I just returned a Projet F4E due to the Fuselage being cracked before I unboxed it. after going round and round with the NitroPlanes Staff and Manager It ended up that even though I was sent a Broken Plane I still had to Pay $50 to ship it back.
After the emails stating that I had to pay, I couldn't get anymore responses from the Nitroplanes staff, and they haven't returned the last few emails I have sent.
I then posted on the Facebook Forums saying I was unhappy about the Practice of Sending out a damaged aircraft and making the customer pay to ship it back.

It's obvious they are in it for a quick buck. So what can we do???
All who read this and have the same experience with Nitroplane.com, spread the word personally and on forums that buyer beware and Nitro Planes are a bunch of scam artist. Don't be fooled by the nice demo videos and fancy website. They are the cheapest for a reason.

I have called and emailed dozens of times with no response and chatted which is a joke, I purchased this jet on 1/8/11 got it in opened the box and found the blades busted from the motor, then after building it I found that the tail rudder is warped, yesterday i decided to turn it on in my home to check out the servoes and gave it a 1/4 power and the motor made a nose but did not turn, I did smell a burning from the motor and esc, I have had all I can take from NP and if they don't make this right by 1/26/11 I will be filing a dispute with my credit card company, I may have gotten a lemon but bottom line is I paid a large sum of money for junk, they could at least replace it if not refund me.
