Wow,
Honestly, I can't even start to imagine why ANYONE with half a conscience and a quarter-brain would not only take the chance, but support such loathsome, slimy and dishonest businesspeople. Really, what does a company have to do before people decide not to get tangled up with swamp-dwellers? I wouldn't care if they proved to my strictest satisfaction that their jets were top-of-the-line.... just by posting bold-face LIES, fake polls, deliberate smearing of people who've fallen victim to their Zero Research and Engineering policy and "It's the Chinese New Year" BS.... I'd never do business with them. Think about it... would you take your car in for service to a mechanic who had a long-standing, well-earned and well-documented reputation for having zero scruples and an 'all is fair in love and war' attitude toward doing business? No, you probably wouldn't--even if he was advertising really low prices.

Don/Jay,
I did not realize that the canopy opening upon takeoff was due to a pilot oversight, not the fault of FEJ. The Hawk was impressive in its earlier flights and accept my apologies as offered. So sad to lose such a nice model due to this action.

I'm not sure exactly why it was removed, but it was very abrasive, insulting & implied the guys who may have decided to purchase this plane with the intension of reengineering it did not have a complete brain..lol Not sure if that's why it was removed though.
Before the Skymaster was available, this was a huge plane (skygate/tomohawk size) available for a fraction of the price. I believe it could possibly be reengineered & made safe, if one competent builder decided to embark on that endeavor. This one flew great, & Mario has found continuous success as far as I know. Now that SM is available though, I think the choice is obvious..IMO

That is definitely not the new Large Skymaster Hawk. It has not been released yet. The Skymaster hawks are some of the most successful airframes out there with many of them flying to this day! It is one of the "go to" planes and if there have been any ongoing issues with the airframe, I have not heard of any here in the US. Having said that, no factory is perfect and this is not only in this hobby but in any business. What we are talking about here is what Shaun has stated, this company has been producing airframes that have been proven not only by X-rays that show blatant disregard for quality but also unacceptable customer service to all of its customers. Even under tremendous pressure and issues with repeated parts failing, this company has danced and lied their way around reality until the market showed its not acceptable and somewhat put a stop to it. Skymaster in no way adopts this method of doing business and even though not perfect, understands this type of behavior will not succeed in this market and works to make their customers happy by not hiding and posting pictures of pretty airframes but facing the issues, creating fixes, using sound technology proven over time and in cases needed, replacing parts and airframes with little difficulty to the consumer. I chat with Anton a few times a week and he tells me all the time, "make customer happy". He is critical and cares about his customers and how people see his products. Not everyone will be completely satisfied in all cases as with any other business but Skymaster definitely does a superior job in comparison and that is why we at Chief decided to partner up with Skymaster over the other companies.

I noticed that also and had same thought.
No different here in USA...look at Enron, crash or 2008 with morgages. Millions lose out but the people causing the problem live on very happy and well off.

Danny,
I've been aware of the Chinese New Year (business-wise and culturally) for a long time, but with some of these outfits, it's used like magic words to explain everything but the Chicago fire. That's a heck of a party when it turns a 12-week quote into a 11 month turn-around.

I have removed a number of posts from this thread.
The posts were either straight manufacturer bashing or just not contributing to the thread.
Also can I remind all that competing manufacturers and their agents are not allowed to post in threads about competitors products.

Mr Dunker,
Did you see my comment regarding competitors? I see you deleted the comment, but didn't acknowledge the correction.... Are you still deleting me as a 'competitor' because of my PAST affiliation with Y/A? If so, would you mind posting (or, if you're more inclined, PM'ing) me that RCU rule?
