Default RE: Fliton Element 170

Well in reading some of the prevy about the element Ihave to say this......


More glue! Great!....
More heavy duty construction?? GREAT bonus when using a gas engine!....
more wood everywhere?? GREATGREATGREAT.....THat will help absorb vibrations....

In looking at this forum. I would hope that the issues that some have had get straitened out....
Flintion, needs to address that....New plane sent out to the guy with a heavy one??/ Yes.... If they want to take care of bussiness.....

If you read what Filton says about this plane "you won't be dissapointed" then They need to make things right..........................
Will watch with great interest....But even though one rep has tried to help, and No one from Fliton (that can send out planes or do anything about it)
has not done so??? This is a Unproven pattern plane that needs lots of support to make it successfull From Fliton!.....
It is not how I would want a product to be released!!....What if you needed a part for your plane???
Pattern flyers are a tight niche group of flyers..... They are not as large as the IMAC and word of mouth is a great big opportunity....
Fliton unfortionately has lost out so far.....I hope for the pattern communitiy, they get there CS, and planes straitened out....I
do not like to see a bussiness fail....It is downright depressing to sit back and see....

I am happy that RCuniverse is available so that matters like this can be passed on to other Hobbiest so that they can make a
INFORMEDdescision!.................
Personally...I am waiting on the Extreme flight 2-meter Vanquish to come out, as I know how good there product support is!!!....and know that they will have a
plane that flys well and will perfrom the way it is advertised, and if not, they will fix it for you in short order...

I can bet that those that have had issues would have been very happy to shell out twice the amount of money, if it ment , great support, great flying plane (as advertosed)
and recieved there planes in a timely manor....
