RE: WHAT'S WRONG WITH NITROPLANES.COM?
That's the longest sentence I ever tried to read.
I had trouble understanding it all, but it's obvious you are not a customer of NP and your opinion of NP has no first hand experience.
The internet seems to be plagued with people giving opinions they shouldn't.
I don't work for NP nor any RC supplier, but here is my opinions from first hand experience for you.
If you want Tower Hobbies or Horizon Hobbies support (yes, I have had exceptional experiences with them), than pay for it. If you want reduced prices and risk not having the Tower Hobbies/Horizon Hobbies level support, than try NP ( I have experienced their poor customer service also.)
NP may improve to high customer service, but their definately not there now.
I purchased the CMPro Lancair 50 and have found the product to be very nice and a good value. For the inexperienced, their marginal instructions may lead them to failure. We will see how they do with my maiden flight
What's important to you.
