To all Jet enthusiest, pilots, suppliers. This is a warning to all of you about Mr Shaun Evans from Yellow Aircraft planes. Here is the story
1. He sold me a yellow aircraft F18, which he stated was new, however, on recieving it, it was OLD with a number of chip marks
and cracks.
2. I paid for ordenence i did not recieve any
3. I sent him a new turbine with fod screen direct from Kingtech, however, i recieved a crashed turbine with no fod screen.
4. I know he had the same type of turbine on his F-15 that he crashed and sent me that crashed turbine.
5. The report from Kingtech states the ecu has 118 min of runtime on the turbine, when he claimed he started it once to check for
fuel leaks (5 minutes) and once for the first flight (5 minutes). I started it once for 6 minutes and flew it once for 4 minutes.
That's an average of 20 minutes.
6. He charged me $1200.00 usd for his so called professional build and on the first and only flight thus far, the landing gear
fell out and the turbine melted most of the air lines, the nose wheel was badly put together and the nose cone has no hatch to
hold it down and no scews or screw holes so it needed tape to hold down, just like what he did in the video he posted on you tube.
7. After my first flight, i was made aware of a fuel leak on the turbine, which i called him about. That fuel leak then led me to remove the turbine from  the aircraft for the first time and thats when i notice that something was wrong with this picture.

At first Shaun said that he was not 100% sure that Kingtech did not send it to him in that condition and a few days later, he changes his story and said he did infact get a Brand new turbine from kingtech and that is what he sent to me. Story has changed. So what he is saying is that the turbine compressed it self inside My airframe without crashing??
Kingtech's report says that the turbine was definately in a crash, bearings are damaged, there is dirt inside the turbine, the starter housing and bracket was broken and he tried to repair using epoxy, the casing is dented, the festo fitting is broken. Screws on the casing were crossed thred.
I dont care what his ratings say, he is Dis-honest with his dealing's with me.

Shaun Evans is being very Dis-honest and sneaky and he should not be allowed to get away with this, so i want THE WORLD TO KNOW..
regards, George
P.S. I am not a poor man and don't need to lie about this. Yes, i am new to the jet family and learning every day. I am the largest hobby distributor in the Caribbean for over 20 years but was green to the turbine world and was realed in to Shean via RCU. I purchased many turbines thru RCU, some, i got what i paid for and 1 i got scammed.

While I understand your reluctance to accept what I have expressed due to YOUR experiences with said individual. Am I expected to not convey what has in FACT happened to me? of what value is it to me to post my experience except to shed light on what this individual is CAPABLE of ...it is immaterial to me that u or any others worship blindly at the alter of this con man...I am sorry but these are the facts
1) I paid significant amts of money for a NEW product and service
2) I did NOT recieve a NEW turbine as EVIDENCED by the report I recieved from Kingtech
3) I did NOT recieve a NEW Airframe
4) I paid for a professional build and got a novice like poorly built aircraft
5) and I paid for ordinance and did NOT recieve any
If any of u disciples would like copies of my report from Kingtech, I will email you at your request, please note report includes all details as well as PICTURES

He and I have not always seen eye to eye on many subjects, but this sounds a little fishy to me. From everything I have seen in regards to him it appears he is a stand up guy and not a scam artist like you suggest. With 28 post total I am going to have to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one....
