Good thought...In this case though, the guy is in Boynton Beach Florida. I was given to believe the plane was being shipped from there. After a couple of weeks of prodding for info., he claimed there was a delay with HIS warehouse in L.A.(?) From the getgo, he evaded my frequent inquiries about shipper and tracking info. I got two short, irrelevant "replies" and nothing else. If you have access to FLY RC magazine, take a look at the Dec., 2008 issue on ppg. 117 for his last ad. If I can help keep others from getting 'serviced' by this guy, then I'll be content.
