I now consider that the vendor from whom I originally ordered the Solartex has ripped me off. Fly Hobbies, aka flyhobbies.com, will not respond to emails or phone calls regarding this. Here are the details:

I ordered a 2 meter roll of yellow Solartex from Fly Hobbies, aka flyhobbies.com and received a roll of vintage yellow. It arrived very promptly via FedEx and I was initially impressed with the service. I returned the Solartex asking for an exchange or refund and have received no communication at all since. I should, of course, have checked this business out before ordering as they have other complaints against them (him?), but I did not. They list an Oklahoma address, but the "customer service" phone number is a California number. When called, I'm sent to a message recorder that is answered simply, "Brian."

So far, I am out 24.35 for the covering, 9.95 for the shipping and about $8.00 return shipping totaling $42.30 for one 2 meter toll of Solartex which I do not have. The LHS will charge me about $25 when it is in stock making a cost of about $67 for the roll.

I will be posting a warning and complaints about this place where appropriate as well as disputing the charges on my Mastercard. I do not take lightly to being ripped off.

I would STRONGLY advise not doing business with this place.

I will send a link to this posting to Fly Hobbies.
