XHeli.com = Failure
So I went to this site called Xheli.com to order me a new helicopter. (My first btw) I bought this one. http://www.xheli.com/9053-volitationheli.html I get it and i charged the batteries in it and put brand new batteries in the transmitter. The helicopter work's just fine am guessing the light's and everything comes on. But the transmitter doesn't work at all. Thinking i had the batteries in wrong i took them all out and paid attention putting them back in. And still nothing. So i called them up the next day letting them know it didn't work. Well they said they would send me a new transmitter and would give me a tracking number. A week later and no tracking number and every time i go to the site help center no one is online nor when i call i get a short busy single. So my advice stay away from this site.

RE: XHeli.com = Failure
You sir just had some bad luck. My son and i have purchased many items from this site. They've been great, service has been great. Don't give up on them there the good guys, excellent deals. The one i'm concerned with is Hobby King they never have stock and takes a light year to get anything from them., [email protected]

Thank's for cheering me up. hopefully i can get this worked out with them. So far it's been a pain to get any contact with them.

Ok update they gave me a new tracking number for a new transmitter and they told me to keep the other one. So i decide to take it apart to see if i can solve why i did not work. Ended up that there was a loose wire. I solder it and it works good now. Start flying it last night in the dark.

RE: XHeli.com = Failure
This is not a reply...Just a STATEMENT:
I see on the news CHINA is not treating there people well now. I for one am NOT going to buy any more China made items. It is far more important to treat people right than it is to own many items a person really does not need. There are many people buying cheap...just so they can own more RC items. Most of you have enough of this stuff to fool around with for many months. Please try to only buy what you need untill the CHINA leaders steart treating ther people better. I would like a new DLE20...but I can get along without it. I am sure many of you RC fans can get along with out buying any more China made item for quite a while. Look for quality made items right here in the USA is another good idea. We need more jobs....less junk setting around collecting dust. Thie will be cut & pasted on other forums too. Capt,n

RE: XHeli.com = Failure
im not 100% sure which one, but theres only like one heli made in the (US).
the rest are chinese made. so if you have a heli, im sure its chinese.
it doesnt matter if you buy align parts from a (US) vendor because it is still all chinese parts.
the only way you`ll get a american made align part is if you make it yourself.
out of all the heli parts and electronics i have, only my Jr gyros are not chinese, they are japanese. i know for being in the heli hobby for three + years, i have yet bought a american made part or electronic item for my helis.
