Interesting response from Top Flite, William. As George knows, I'm back into the hobby now after a 4 decades plus absence, and am building a good old Ringmaster. Becoming anxious to fly again, I had been considering one of the Nobler ARF's like yours. However, based on the response you received, if I do try an ARF, it'll be one of the recently imported Brodak Cardinals or one of Brodak's other ARF's. Based on what I've been reading here and over at the Stuka Stunt Forum, Mr. Brodak sounds like he would probably have been more than willing to stand behind his products, unlike the Top Flite folks. I'm sorry for your misfortune. Hang in there!!
