If you search for Banana Hobby + FBI they have set up their web site with numeruos references to FBI in the hope that this Site will be lost amongst the searches!!

Status: offline 		Seems as though only one person, SADIE21, has had a good experience with Banana Hobby. That makes me feel kind of warm and fuzzy about BH. But her post kind of troubles me. She joined RCU on 2-14-08. She posted her warm and fuzzy testimonial on 2-14-08. She ordered her F15 Eagle two days prior to that, I presume on 2-12-08 but then read about all the bad things people have said about BH so she put a hold on her credit card until she visited the warehouse and picked her model up. But where did she read about these things if she didn't join RCU until 2-14-08? Are other web sites being inundated with posts concerning these guys?

Seems like a whole lot happened in those two days for Sadie. Oh, well. I guess anything is possible.

Gotta run now. Gotta go order a couple grand worth of stuff from BH. According to Sadie, "there" really good people.

Status: offline 		SADIE21 is a little "cheerleader" who reports all over the the place as having had a "positive experience" with Bananah Hoobby. Please see the following link for more complaints than praise for them. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5585381/anchors_5585381/mpage_1/key_banana%252Chobby/anchor/tm.htm#5585381http

BTW - I posted my negative shopping experience on 2/7/08 (cjstephe) and filed a report with my credit card company for the junky plane they sent me. I have been fortunate in that my credit card company has not even been able to contact them or hear back from Bananah Hobby in their defense so I was credited back my purchase price including shipping costs (which were insanely expensive and not shipped within the timeframe they say my wife "selected" - which she didn't.)

Pay attention to the folks who report having had a positive shopping experience with them. I'm sure they have processed some orders properly and that there are happy folks out there; however, the "cheerleaders" normally recently signed up, have poor grammar and spelling, type in all caps, and only have 1-2 posts.

PM me if you have questions or want additional "ammo" to use against these jokers. I would love to see them not only out of business but in jail.

Status: offline 		Helitubby, you may have some "luck" with them but if I were you I would cancel the order asap. My experience with them has been terrible, long story short, ordered a Cheetah 450, after about a month of no feedback from banana I finally recieved a first generation prototype of the cheetah (Idle 430) that had damage and had a crappy photocopied user manual. Now I've discovered there are no parts availiable in the U.S. except from banana, which when I tried to obtain, they never shipped. Now all I have for my $400+ is a nice conversation piece to display on my shelf that serves as lesson learned. Like say, your best bet is to cancel immediately and order from a more responsible company, there are lots of them out there, fortunately.

Status: offline 		I bought an rc heli from banana hobbies a couple of weeks ago, and the motor went out after about ten flights, I contacted banana hobies (via e-mail) to get the problem rectified but as of yet had no response
