Okay let's clear somethings out here. Fliton has FAILED to reply emails. Fact. Fliton Element is overweight, NOT a 100% fact as only SOME are overweight.

I have contacted Fliton and was told its their server that has an issue, I sent emails with a delivery report bit none came back. I remember 2 years back when their server kept forwarding their emails to us. I believe Fliton has sorted it out and I am getting my replacement Element soon. That I appreciate very much.

As stated earlier, only a few Elements were overweight and they got into the market. There was a slight issue in the factory that caused this. Its been sorted out so I was told if not don't tell me I am going to accept a replacement that is also overweight. That would be wasting time and money for Fliton.

Hezik ... let's not assume it will be probably 500g overweight. I can talk about EF too, somehow let's be frank, people will tolerate the misgivings from EF, I have seen many on the net and experienced it myself with the EF Extra 300 and Yak54 EP versions. Same with the H9 Funtana 90 with its wing failures and the H9 Extra 260 with its delaminating UC. Both were super hot items but had that tendency to go bad.

I own a Sebart too and let's be frank, they are built about as well as a Fliton and fly about as well too. However, the Sebarts are not cheap despite coming out from China. You will be surprised how much it costs to manufacture an EF or Sebart or any other branded ARF. So let's not start this I BELIEVE so and so is better. Heard it all and its the same thing. Sebarts and EF planes are not cheap, you pay a premium for them but then what are you really getting.

I got friends who have flown or seen Oxai planes, they are not that great for the price. That too is a fact. I believe the Element is not in full production yet. If it is and it does not live up to what they advertise, send it back to the LHS. Well, you have a contractual relationship with the LHS and not the manufacturer only. Let's see where Fliton goes with the Element and not jump up and down then only a couple of so called pre-sale planes have weight issues.

Let's be more passionate about the hobby and not the brand.
