Default Former 14MZ owner got a big suprise!

How would you like to wake up one day and find out that Tower Hobby had “BLACK BALLED” you. It Happened to me. I was the owner of one of the first 14MZ’s. I had big trouble with the 5014 RX and lost a Comp ARF 2.6 Yak. I complained to Hobbico service center with no satisfaction. They did offer to return my money for the 14MZ.

Six months later the solution for others with my same problem was to cut the RX aFtenna to 23’. Six months after that the 5014 was discontinued. Now the fun begins, I place an order with Tower and was told they would not do business with me any longer.

How do you like them apples? If I posted this in the Futaba support forum it would be deleted before the day was over.

Probably because it has nothing to do with Futaba (you are railing on about Tower) and second it does not ask a question about a Futaba product.

And really, you went back to do business with a company you have so openly vilified for the past year??

OK.

Well did you return it for a refund or not?

Ah nevermind I think I already know the answer.

Danny,

Looking at your location, may I point out that you LIVE there

Could you be suggesting that there be no surprises in Surprise??

All intended in jest

-but, all sellers have a choice-it is simply seldom that you hear of it being exercised.
