Default RE: Advice on Buying an Electric Plane.

I'm writing this so that if you are new to this hobby you won't be taken in the same way that I was. First of all DO NOT purchase the MEGA TECH Airstrike. This may be a obvious to most of you but it wasn't to me. I felt I was safe in purchasing it since the company I bought it from (CDH Enterprises) offered a money back gaurentee (minus a 15% restocking fee). When I tried to return the plane I was told it was messed up beyond repair and that I could purchase another item but not get a return. I have the plane again and am still wondering what damage it has sustained that would render it unfit for return. Since CDH ENTERPRISES is not on the list of companies that can be evaluated on this site (many others are) I want to warn everyone NOT to buy from this company as they will not honor their warranty.

I ended up purchasing a Hobbico Nexstar trainer. This is a super product that I would recommend to anyone getting into this hobby. It is more expensive but if you really want to learn DO NOT by a low cost plane like the Airstrike.

Good Luck and happy flying.
