Exactly how is it you think you are "helping" others by continually slamming the distributors? I've read a bunch of your comments as to how terrible Horizon, H-9, etc. are in the customer service area, and how bad these models are, but what I HAVENT read is very much in the way of actual "help" for anyone. If you really wanted to help, you'd be putting up some of your experience as to how to fix some of the problems yourself. Myself, I like to FLY. I do not have time in my schedule, nor the inclination, to dick around with multiple emails, phone calls, return shipping, waiting weeks to get a new model, etc. I have the building skills, so I would much rather just FIX a problem like a thin firewall, sub-standard wing structure, etc. myself, and get the darn thing in the air where it belongs. I would venture to guess there are many others with the same attitude. I would challenge you to find ANY ARF out there currently on the market that doesnt have SOME type of problem, whether it is serious or not. The $150.00 ones have them, and the $2500.00 ones have them. It's not just H-9, it's ALL of them. That's the price we pay for desiring ARF's. You want a perfect aircraft? Build a kit! I'm not defending H-9 or Horizon or anyone else here, just stating my personal opinion.
