Default Flyboy Models

Has anyone had any luck getting info about kits from these guys. I am trying to find some particulars about one of their kits I got awhile back. The specs on the web page are incorrect. I hope this is not another case of we sell them but but don't know anything about them. Has anyone had any luck contacting them.

The hardware needs to be replaced. The models are ok for "stand off" scale. The models fly ok, but the newbie builder is going to struggle assembling these and the instructions are scant and poorly copied.

ggraham500 is totally right. "most of the Chinese" ARFs are not the best made planes; however, I've had a couple of them & they fly great! The instructions suck !! Always, always go through all glue joints you can see & "reglue" or "reinforce". Most of the hardware for them are not of the "quality" needed for extreme flying that some guys do. For the everyday flier like myself, I have found the hardware to be suffeceint. (spelling) for my type of flying. In short, I think we get what we pay for !!!!
