Status: offline 		Just wondering.. Is Raindentech.com related to Nitro Models? It appears it may be the same phone number. Just want to make sure before I post anything.

Status: offline 		Nitroplanes is owned by the Raidentech people, but operated as a separate entity.

While they are related don't necessarily equate one with the other.

e.g. John doesn't work for Raidentech, but he can call them up for items.

Status: online 		I have been to both locations in Suthern Cal , I have tracked over 7 differant names on ebay both having poor ratings ,(the king of Bad was raidentech ) as far as I am concerned if you dont buy from them on RCU --good luck .This seems to be the only site that they care about there ratings .
Try calling them and you will get an answering machine , if they do call you back they will have difficulty giving you directions to there location .
Most of the pictures on both sites dont match the planes , the hellcat pic is a byron pic , there spitfire is a Jim Reeves kit , ect ect ect .
If you want to buy price and I am right there with you and own many CMP planes ect , you are still taking a risk .I have had great luck tracking down other sellers on ebay for CMP planes with great ratings .
they need to do major work to there website and simply clear up the planes that will never come in stock again , some discontinued by CMP others simply out for good .

I haven't found this to be quite true though.

The Hellcat pic matches exactly what I received.

Likewise the Warhawk a friend purchased is exactly the same as the picture...

As is the Cessna 140 and .52, the Bobcats and Falcons, Polecat, Ultimates (all sizes), Passion, Extra, Stearman, Yak 54, etc... all planes which I have and purchased from them.

That's not to say that there have not been PICs put up that don't correspond to the actual planes, but with the over 18+ planes I purchased from them, I'm batting about 100%.

Yes.

I believe the Asian owners don't understand exactly what we as buyers "expect" in terms of parts availablity and service, even when build and tech support is not offered.

Hiring John was a move in the right direction, but they do need to man the phones with people a bit more familiar with the RC world, and they REALLY need to stock parts, and deal with ARF's that come missing pieces, etc.

e.g. they should always hold back a percentage of planes to provide exchanges for a problematic ARF kit... something they have not quite done yet...


In spite of all of this, thus far ( I knock on wood ), they have been quite willing to fix problems in a timely manner for me, or when caught w/o the required item(s) offered comparable exchanges.

Status: online 		I am glad that your not selling on ebay and my accusations are not faulse nor urban legend , they were clearly stated on ebay for all to read .
In addition as far as the pics , your dreaming if you feel the spit with the shark mouth matches the plane you click on and same deal with the hellcat .
As far as the p40 I have two friends that bought the plane after confirming it had flaps and it did not have flaps .
I am not on this site to bash the product , i own more CMPs then any other planes ,i am just curiuos about who I purchase from just like the next guy .

Status: online 		You know instead of going round and round , in fairness to John if he is the new guy on the block then lets see what happens under his direction and I will simply move on .If RCU members seem to be happy with the new management then it would appear its safe to make a purchase .I hope under Johns management they will update there site and get rid of the pics of the planes that will never come back in stock .
as stated earlier I have the CMP versions of the planes and a few fly-models copies of the CMPs , I am into bashing ARf so i never had issues with the quality .
I hope we will see the new long awaited german fighter that CMP was trying to release in JUne show up soon .
Thanks

Looks to be the same items, more or less.

I hope Nitro is getting better. Maybe I'll order again one day.
