Hi John,
I think it was Motors and Rotors, but I'm not sure. I checked Ali's site but he wasn't an AW distributor.
I didn't think it would be an issue dealing with AW. They made really nice models, and being top of the line, I figured their customer service wouldn't be an issue. Obviously I was wrong.
I e-mailed AW-USA numerous times about the Lightning and never recieved a reply. I called several times and finally got through to Jeff, who said I would have to talk to Jason. After several calls I finally talked to Jason who said he wasn't interested. At least I have to give Jason credit for being honest and telling me he wasn't interested instead of stringing me along for months.
I know if I called BV to order one of his planes none of the above would have happened.
When I ordered the A-10, I e-mailed Roger (Jet Adic) and the e-mails were immediately returned. When I finally ordered it there were no problems, the whole process went without a hitch. I'm sure MIBO sells a lot fewer kits than AW, and why AW can't get their act together is beyond me.
These are all top of the line models and I expect some kind of customer service. If BVM and MIBO can do it, what's AW's problem.
Glad you got your Lightning and like the kit. Maybe I'll try again next year and see what happens.
BRG,
Jon
