From FXR
Dear Mr. Rice, I thankyou for the compliment. Yes my partner does get a bit upset when customers are emailed and undocumented claims are made. I do ask you to please forgive his tact but I do have to respect his position in the matter. We under no circumstances are stopping you from continuing with your production. We also reserve the right to do the best that we can to help the hobby. It is true that we do expect people to pay for the drive. There has been much time and money put into these parts and I do expect to at least, recoup the money put into the project. We have indeed built from scratch a whole new aircraft. It is crash resistant as well as illiminating the blade slap issue. I also love flying at night, the spinny thing happend when we broke the 3 cell barrier. We will put all the information on our site for everyone to enjoy this. I will not keep repeating the same information over and over on blogs. That is what the site was designed for, to see the latest upgrades and not all of them will be for sale, you personally will have to do the work. As a professional, I know that having a kit to fix the problems I had, would have been highly beneficial. Instead we started on our project last summer and the first thing I saw was the hoplight without all of the fancy drive gear. It was a prototype and it was mean looking. It still had all of its problems, blade slap, bendable drives upon impact, it sucked. We now have an altogether craft totally reengineered. You are looking only at one facit of the entire project and are obsessed with it. We will not use what you tell us to use, we already have CREATED a whole new material. I can personally tell you that, your carbon fiber put under the microscope next to ours, would not be the same. Also, a rockwell hardness test would also show the discrepancies between your material and ours. We created the ENTIRE drive line for impact resistance. Please understand I am trying to explain to you what is already on the site.
FXR, a gentle man indeed. You have earned my respect and I will take heed of that. I will stop nagging and bickering due to your calm explanations. I'm glad that we have met and that you've cooled the blaze. I’ll let you do what you want and for now on stay out of your business.
