I hear what you are saying. However, Skytoysrc never could account for the reason for the extra $100.50. They tried to blame UPS. However, UPS charges only showed the $232.50 and not the $333.00 that I was charged. All I was asking for was an accounting of the $100.50. Skytoysrc never did justify these charges, such as saying this was for packing materials, etc., or whatever. They tried to push the blame on UPS. Anyway, it just sounded dishonest to me. There very well may be other charges, as you guys stated. But at least they could have given me a reason for the charges, and not the no response that I received.
I appreciate the comments. This was my first dealing with an overseas vendor. I would not have done it if I was not desperate to get the jet. There were no Harlock green 140 VJ available in the US. I bought the original jet from Greg Alderman. However, beign a nugget, we removed the engine hatch on initial start-up. I wish there would have been a bold note stating not to run the engine with the hatch off. Of course, this disturbed the cooling through the turbine bay, since the hatch is on the bottom and not the top. Consequently, the thin metalled exhaust pipe collapsed and raw engine exhaust destroyed the rear of the fuselage...including the elevators, and elevator and rudder servos(HV69s). Then to really finish it off the PVC insulation melted and shorted the rear harness, and caused massive electrical damage, including destroying a REX 12 Assist Rx, a DSM 10 swich, and MUI 30 current and voltage sensor. So, that was my first jet experience! I guess that is why I scrutinized the cost. Anyway, after much pain and anguish, the VJ #2 is almost ready to go! So, I am feeling much better now. Thanks, again!
