RE: R/C Guys on People Court
The plaintiff hired a guy to build this plane to completion. He even sent him a check the engine,muffler,retracts and some of the radio gear. It was supposed to be a 6 month job. Six months later the plane was only framed up and the builder was going on a trip to Russia. The guy ask for the parts and $750 deposit back. He got a check and all the parts but the muffler but didn't cash the check for a few weeks. By the time he deposited the check the guy now in Russia had spent the money. When he got home he sent him $300 and admitted he lost the muffler. The deffendant then rethought the deal and wanted money for the time and money he had spent up till now. Since he had already sent a check for the full refund that bounced. He lost. The plaitiff got the rest of the money back plus the $110 for the muffler.
The builder brought the plane to court with him. It was in fact only framed up. I don't think the wings were even complete. The fuse had some filler on the deck so it must have been complete.
