I hate when guys steal your money. I lost $150 on a S Tiger X .29 that was never sent many many years ago. I was a fairly well known name too. Carlos Aloise. Apparently he did it to a lot of people. Some people actually had to show up at his door and he would pay up. That is about the only way. It is a bit of gas to go to California from here. My wife tells me about it every time I want something in the mail. It ruins it for everyone. Some guys were racing reedy .049s on the forums (Fora) with some local success. I think it would go over better if parts were available on a common engine like an AP .09, or LA .10 or .15, and maybe a cheap kit or simple plan to make things more global and even.
