Some of you may already know that FlyingCirkus.com recently hosted a video contest. I entered the "foamy" category and managed to take 2nd place. I was pretty pleased with that. There was a prize associated with 2nd place which was a copy of Aerofly Professional by Ikarus. This was pledged as a prize by Ohio Model Planes. Max Duncan promptly sent emails to the vendors that donated prizes with the names and addresses of the winners and copied the winner. I got the email and waited. And waited and waited and waited.......for about three weeks and finally emailed Dion at OMP asking about it. He said nobody told him the contest was over and I was the winner of this prize. I took it pretty easy at first and just emailed Max at flyingcirkus about it. Max was really cool. He sent a reminder again to Dion and verified I was the winner. So I waited some more.....nothing. I wrote Dion once more, he says still nobody has talked to him. So I email Max.........this goes on and on for a couple of cycles and Dion will not return Max's calls or emails. Finally last week, I get disgusted enough to just tell Dion to keep the prize, I was tired of being frustrated about it. I copied Max on this email, well somehow......by Friday we all get together and Dion quits dodging us. He agrees to ship the prize and promises to do it the next day which was Saturday. I figure I would have it by Wednesday. Wednesday comes and I have nothing so I email Dion once again. He tells me he still hasn't shipped it but assures me he will the next day. I told him to keep the prize, I didn't need it. I believe he is skirting this in every way he knows how just because he does not want to donate the prize. He lied to me, he lied to Max, and he NEVER once took the initiative to find the answers for himself. He always insisted on Max contacting him THEN ignored Max's efforts. This guy does not deserve your business. Please keep this in mind before spending money at OMP.........if this is the way he treats GOOD people giving him GOOD advertising just think of what he might do to you. Since I made this complaint, others have come to me saying they have had similar problems with this guy. Don't buy from OMP and let's let this guy wither away. The RC hobby community is too small to leave any room for bozos like this.
