RE: Fliton Element 170
Hezik ... I think this is tiring BUT fun, heheheehee. Fliton DOES NOT KNOW exactly which plane is overweight. They had no idea until it was raised. About the helping, IF THEY DO NOT assist when its being brought to their attention then you know what? Bash the heck outta them. Call it favouritism or whatever else. That would be fair I say. Its digging their own grave.
Best recourse is to always buy from a LHS, ask them if the advertised weight is assured. The consumer needs to protect themselves. My pal purchased an NIB Altair 200 from a friend. It crashed on the maiden flight. He feels its a manufacturing defect. I told him its a dead end because he purchased it from a friend, no a LHS or the manufacturer direct. No consumer protection recourse. Same here ... we need to get it right too so we have a recourse.
Hence, if the plane is that bad, let it be. At the least we get our hard earned money back.
