<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: larger;">Ed ... you need to chill a bit, you got into a bad deal and it happens, sorry to hear about it. Hyperion planes are good planes, I owned a few of them. I love the Super Chipmunk 70E, she is well manufactured and flies nicely. But with every manufacturer, they do get one or two bad products. This may be from the design or manufacturing aspect. Not seen the Bird Dog but perhaps its no good. Also, looks like that particular LHS is messing about, so scr3w them and move on. </span></span>
