First, I agree that Andy got screwed, and that he has the right to vent & warn others of his misfortune. But what he's done by running three separate threads is unnecessary, and has moved him clearly into manufacturer bashing (which is not allowed in RCU), and trying to create a lynch-mob mentality. This has no place in RCU.

Based on several of the replies in his threads, he's not alone. Andy was offered a deal by FEJ , but he’s chosen not to accept it (I doubt I would have either). We as consumers should not be sold sub-par products (especially for the prices we pay at this end of the hobby), and if the product sold is found to be defective, the manufacturer should be held responsible for replacing those parts. There are several jet retailers & manufacturers out there that go out of their way to produce high end products for us, but there are also those that don't. Don't forget that we do live in a "buyer beware" world!

It is in my opinion, however, that he's made his point, and to allow the bashing & complaining to continue is not serving Andy or the jet community well. The appropriate information is still available in the threads for all to read.

Second, some of you have accused me via PM that I’m a rep for FEJ & that I’m covering for them. Let me say this clearly I AM NOT A REP, RETAILER, OR OWNER OF ANY FLY EAGLE JET PRODUCTS! I have not been a rep or retailer for any products since I closed the doors on Vertical Hobbies almost three years ago. Hell, I can barely find enough time to fly the stuff I do have (just ask the Cali guys who think I dropped off the face of the earth ).

Enjoy the Hobby & fly safe.

Mark
