RE: RANT: The

Hey Rick, WE WON!!






Would this have happen if I said, oh well? No I demanded Customer Service and they stepped to the plate.

Horizon will always get my business!

RE: RANT: The

Let me thank opjose for you Rick.

Hey Rick? Would I have the results like this if I didn't push and demand Customer Support? Nothing gets done eh? Only if I sit on my hands and do nothing. If...

RE: CA Kicker ?

Oh John, boy do I know about sanding balsa and I can relate. I'm allergic to any type of dust and when I sand any type of wood I start my nonstop sneezing session. My wife laughs but then I tell her...

RE: CA Kicker ?

You're not kidding, and don't put your face too close to what your working on- the fumes can burn the eyes a little. The ultra-thin CA is the worst culprit for that. :(


I don't use kicker, I...

RE: Which is lighter CA or Titebond?

Come to think of it, I haven't either. If the repairs are done right, it actually can become stronger and I think it is a misconception that repaired models become structurally weak. I'm not saying...

If your talking about CMP, Nitroplanes, ESM or now Ecomplanes they never did make spare parts for the market. Thats part of the way China markets their goods- make the product with no product...

Yes and I thought of taking out a business loan myself and just doing ARF cowls. But again like I mentioned earlier, I don't want to make a business out of my hobby because it will eventually not be...

RE: Pre-Maiden Jitters

Wait until you go to Rhinebeck Jamboree, Joe Nall, Warbirds Over Delaware or other sponsored events just to name a few. 200+ spectators and pilots showing up is probably the low count on a very bad...

LOL! You will be fine, it just takes time.

You see, if I were to think about all the time and money I spent on the plane I'm flying, I would always be too nervous. I try and put all those things...

RE: Hangar 9 Fokker DVII

Sounds like it will work. Just make sure you check your control surfaces before you fly. :eek: My rebuild and modification is going slow but well. I have to order pulleys and scale control horns from...

RE: RANT: The

Very well written Rick and Luchnia! +1

What is going on in the hobby now, more so than the past is many are keeping their ARF planes way longer than the assumed life expectancy for them. That's...

RE: RANT: The

I know what you mean. But the case in point is we as the consumer should have more power in what a manufacturer puts out, and not have them tell us what we want. The reason foamies sell so well is...

RE: RANT: The

Throw it away or burn it. Your money spent, and loyalty don't mean a darn thing to them. However you are one of the rare type of people that can keep a plane for that long of a period- that doesn't...

RE: Check your control surfaces people!

I agree with you fully, Villa. But it's how we get the point across that gets people mad or not at you. If they reach around the prop in a unsafe manner then I would right at the time they were doing...

No I haven't heard of them, but I did see a few threads where the OP was making cowls out of blue foam and sanding it to shape. Most of them were simple cowls, but the DVII looks a little...

Wow! Fantastic job! I'm glad you got it back.

With me whenever I just do a aileron setup even when I have it right, she will bank a little to the left or right after takeoff. Normally I will...

Well Rick, your "Rant" and our push are making things happen with Horizon. 4 years for a fast selling ARF is way too short IMO- the Fokker DVII was only in production for 4 years and they were all...
