hobby for a while (RC aircraft sport) and prefer to do business with companies like Advantage Hobby, Tower, BalsaUsa, etc.,. Good luck.

There are a lot of  web sight  frauds that will take your money and you will never  receive or hear from them again.       


There was one such site not long ago that had all of the aforemention omissions.   They turned out to be a  scam artist in  Russia.     The good prices and promises attracted a lot of business in a short time.    By the time everyone got suspicious,   they were gone as was all the money.

Status: offline 		Hey Chucks.  Don't know what you are after from them, but I just went to their site, and looked a bit.  I checked one item, the Parkzone F4U PNP.  They have it listed for $189.99, while Horizon sells it for $199.99, and free shipping.  Ask yourself, is it worth ten bucks to find out?

Far too many people look to save a penny, and waste dollars in the process. Look at some Far East hobby shops. They take your money, and don't back their products.

Some even pay modelers to say good things about them, and keep their names in the forefront, on the forums.

Status: offline 		Yes,   you see it quite often,    One poster complains how he got ripped off by a particular hobby supplier,     and  several   other posters come out of the woodwork   saying how they have  spent    thousands of dollars and  hundreds of orders and never a single problem.    And what get's me is how fast they got their orders to their doors.   It seems like the  suppliers shipped the order before the order was even made.  

And how about the guy that has a join date  of only a couple of days,  made  2 posts, and both of them was for the same company  of how great they are,      and    he claims he's been flying RC for  20 years.   

And then you have the flip side,    a guy has a join date of    10 years ago,  only has  2 posts,  and both of them are advertisements for a rip off supplier.  

It's hard to believe anything you read in the forums these days.      I really get ripped with the   guys  who have been flying   ARFs  for 6 months and they think they are  experts of  every aspect of RC.      

I try to support my local hobby shop as much as I can. 

Frank

Status: offline 		I have noticed a few fellows that are now on RCU but are in China and working for the company and posting about there new products instead of paying for there advertising. It is fun to ask them direct questions though!! And yes, I did notice low poster and new people swearing about how good some vendors are when you post about a problem. Ever notice how the locals round the wagons of one of there local suppliers when there is a problem?.
Stick with the main suppliers and forget the fly by night companies.
Saying that I think I better get a move on and place an order with Central Hobbies while it's on my mind, I keep forgetting I need some parts. OH, and good people to work with but sure nail you on shipping for small items like I usually order. They could ship for 50 cents instead of $8.00 if they just put the parts in an envelope. Worked well for Xmas cards!!
