IronCross does have a good point asking why did you place a second order with them if you were not really that thrilled with the first? I am kind of curious to know what prompted you to place an order with VF again if you really were not that satisfied the first time? There are a ton of Manucturers and Distributors to choose from, and a bunch of others who sell the same Make of Planes that VF builds and sells. Its not like the Edge 540 is an exclusive Plane to VectorFlight. So why a VectorFlight Edge 540? An inquiring mind would like to know.
CK / IC,
Like I said before, I'm not upset or mad at VF. I'm just simply satisfied with VF and would like to see them improve their business practices, and other production items (ie, instructions, better belly pan, etc).
With anything else I own, if I'm not completely satisfied, I voice my opinion so others can know, so others who have experienced the same can know, so the company knows what to improve. But it seems if I do this on this forum, IC and the others thinks I'm out to get VF. That is not the case. I'm here to improve every ARF I own so the next one will be better. For example, I own a Honda Accord like thousands of other people. Most owners are overjoyed with this car and I am too but there are several quirks to it that needs improvement (transmission, crappy service dept, etc.). So I let Honda of America knows along with posting on several Honda Forums. Does this mean I would not buy another Accord? No, I probably would buy another, but I want them to improve upon it for the next generation. Same for VF.
Why did I place a second order: As I said before, because I believe VF gives you a good product at a fair price. As I said before, I like to compare ARFs with other simiiliar ARFs. As I said before, I'm satisfied with VF, but I would like for them to improve on other aspects of their business so they can be a player in this hobby/business.
Why didn't I buy from other manufacturers: I did buy from other manufacturers. I bought an Extra from TDL and posted the similarities I found between TDL and VF and I was not taken seriously by several VF fans. For the ones that posted negative comments just by seeing my photos and not in person, they must have incredible visions. I bought a Giles 202 from Graupner and posted my opinions on it on another post and once again, VF fans mocked my posting. Either way, they're entitled to their opinions, and I should be too so that is why I'm here posting away.
Why I bought from VF originally: I originally bought the VF Edge 540 because of the "positive" reviews of VF on this site. When I ordered last year(Oct timeframe), none of the negatives I've posted so far was posted on this site so I was not aware. Now I want this to be known to people who are thinking of ordering from VF.
Any other questions from inquiring minds?
