Default flyboy models




I am about to relate to you my experience with flyboy models with the sellers name of stealthjet.

I ordered a Fokker DR-1 from them and it looked good and all was good until I started assembly. When it came time to mount the top wing I had to take an uneducated guess in trying to locate the bolt holes in the top wing. I finally found them, yes they had covering over the holes but the blind nuts were full of wood as well, that is why I had a hard time finding them. I dug the wood out of the front blind nuts and started looking for the blind nuts at the back of the wing, finally found the holes but there was a problem, the blind nuts for the back of the wing were not there.

I contacted these people and they told me that this is the way these planes are made and that I had to install the blind nuts myself. I don't know about you but I have never bought an "ARF" that you had to tear into the wing to install the blind nuts at the back of the wing but the manufacturer had installed the front blind nuts. I asked them if they wanted me to send them this wing, basicly I wanted them to know that I was telling the the truth about the blind nuts. They have not responded to my email in which I equested that they stand behind their products and send me another wing which has the blind nuts installed. Oh yeah, in their last response to my problem they offered to send me two blind nuts.

Their stance on this issue serves as a testimate to their customer support and not to mention their knowledge of how these planes are built. If you buy one of their planes do so at your own risk because there is no customer support and they DO NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THER SELL.

Flyboy models still around with 86inch wimgspan TL-Ultralight plane with fiberglass fuesalage for $179m here is the problem, the shipping is very high through Fedex ground because is a large box.approx $130. You can not do much about shipping, many people said "I purchased %27 model and I only paid $65 shipping, ok, that is good..but...that is because the company made hight profit on the model and they eat some of the shipping cost. When you buy a Model such as Ultralight 86" wingsoan at cost, you just have to pay for all the shipping...Blohm and Voss still exist, Chipmunck Dihavelent is also there with broken ribs... you still can fly[>:] the contact is [email protected]
