There is a thread on here about them and from what I have read I would not buy anything from them. But you have to make up your own mind, good luck. Eric

RE: NitroPlanes.com ?
I just ordered my plane, extra battery, lipo sack and their NEW Thunder T6 charger with power supply.... Pretty much everything I should need to fly a new EDF setup.
John was very fast to respond to my PM messages/questions before I ordered. We'll see how the package deal goes.
I was too tired of checking if I wanted to buy the EDF Kit and add all my electronics, which other motor might be better, which speed control or BEC would work with a given battery, and the KING of questions - which charger was "best."
I decided that you can find complaints for almost any product. Just the shipping from different places would kill any cost savings. So, I'm giving them a try and going with everything from NitroPlanes.

i have heard that nitromodels customer has improved. a year ago i went to buy a .25 arf from them and the only reason i did not was their shipping charges were almost twice as much as everyone else's at the time. but i am considering their F-35 edf.

was it a nitromodels F-18?......this is the reason i'm am not going to buy anymore pnp's or rtf ep planes from any vendor regardless the brand. they all have poor qualitly electronics installed in them. a few days ago a guy showed up at our flying site with a foam RTF ep prop trainer plane .after about two minutes into the first flight something crapped out, either the radio, receiver, bec because it went berserk and crashed destroying the model. afterwards we found a aileron servo not centering but we were not sure that happened in the crash. including myself,in the last 3 months this was about the 12th foam pnp,rtf ep plane that crashed at our site due to electronics. they average about 1 to 5 flights before something goes wrong. the only ones that have had any luck are people who bought "parkzone" planes...but they do not made EDF'S.

I purchased the nitroplanes F15 (edo F15) and I have to agree the radio is junk . I luckily had a extra futaba 2.4 reciever laying around and used that with my radio. Everything was compatable servos,etc... Everything was shipped nice no damage, plane flies great. That was my only purchase from nitroplanes but everything went smooth.

i agree completely!! If I find a plane i am interested in buying i always add in the cost of a spektrum reciever even its RTF. Ill never fly with the stock radios again!!
