Hezik ... I think this is tiring BUT fun, heheheehee. Fliton DOES NOT KNOW exactly which plane is overweight.
They know it's the first batch that contains heavy ones. They know who they sent that batch to. One mailing to all those shops to inform them is all that's needed. Also, as I already mentioned, the shops could just put the entire box containing everyhting on the scale. The weight difference is big enough to be noticed like that.
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.
Basically, that was what I was doing already because they did not assist
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.
In the Netherlands there's no shop that carries this plane. My Friend bought it at a shop in the UK.
Anyways, I'll sign off on this discussion now, we're going in circles... thanks for the help so far, I hope those email addresses will help! If they do, I'll let it know
