RE: NITROPLANES.COM
I can't answer the question, but I have been wondering the same thing. They have a few really nice sounding planes but I feel like the quality won't be great. Also I've read about several of their planes on their web site saying it has rudder and the pics clearly show it does not. That alone gives me a bad feeling

RE: NITROPLANES.COM
i agree, i found one thread that said they sell items they dont even have in stock. they guy then went on and referred them to another website that sold similiar (or the same) things. In there pics, the planes were using the 9 cell nimh batteries. if thats what these are, i am not really interested. sounds to good to be true

RE: NITROPLANES.COM
Ive ordered multiple times with Nitroplanes.com
Planes, and Helicopter stuff.
Usually everything is shipped as ordered, and on time. Packaging is reasonable, and Ive not recieved any damaged parts.
If the stuff is out of stock...be prepared to wait a while for it to get to you.
I had ordered some heli parts, and all but one part came in. I waited over a month before they finally sent that part...but they did send it.
As far as the F22, from what Ive seen of them flying around, they do alright. The F15 is the best performer of the bunch.

But for the money they are great deals. And as for service, my Corsair's cowl was cracked, Nitro replaced it within a week at no charge.

RE: NITROPLANES.COM
I have ordered several times from them and had no problems at all. I use their online suport and several times they have refered me to various build threads for help on some builds. I will continue to order from them and recomend them to others. I am not working for them, I am just someone who thinks the price and quality is what it should be (HET F-20 is $149.00, Nitro models $99.00, same plaine).

RE: NITROPLANES.COM
From my experience with them, I would categorize their planes as 'Builders ARFs". The airframes that I have seen are well built and covered, the glass and plastic is nicely done, and the paint looks good (although I don't know what it is), but, the manuals are almost worthless, and some building experience is needed to sort out what hardware to throw out and what needs improvement. I'm not convinced they do any R & D on these planes. Seems like that is left up to the consumer. The price is right for what you get IMO.
