don't walk, run away from nitroplanes and xheli  dot com's.  Nothing thay sell is as stated.  Their expectations of what they sell are very generous in their favor.  They love to hang up on you when they don't like what you are saying.  The stuff they sell seems ok but will require a lot of adjustments and mods.  Please mssg me if you wnt more detail on this subject.

My recent experiences'

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">This bird is not for beginners. The manual is very difficult to understand, it's mostly Chinese. I wouldn't call it a RTF. I spent over 2 hours correctly setting it up. The gyro IS NOT a heading hold model. It is a "buffer" at best. The radio is not laid out like other Tx's. Without Youtube and experience, a person could get hurt during the start-up with this radio. Now for the downside. DO NOT buy from "xheli.com" or "nitroplanes.com"(they are the same company). Customer service hung up on me twice when I was unsatisfied with the included charger. Claims(both online and in the manual) are that the charger is rated for 1amp. I spent some time with it and got a maximum current of 350mah. The stock battery, 2200mah, takes 6.5 hours to charge. I spoke with customer service and they said that these figures are within there companies expectations of this charger. When I began reading the manual's details for the charger back to them, they hung up! If only based on the companies attitude, I cannot recomend them and if this is a first chopper stay away from the erazor, or get an experienced pilot to help.

That is a point we all need to support. Take our money and give it to the other shop. KMP messed up and did not replace the Grasshopper I told them about. But he will tell the China company of the mistakes they made glue all over things parts not in place right paper(film) ripped....But I am stuck with a bad job.I am a builder so I can fix their MESS. BUTWHY...Go to VQ or TBM, They have the same unirts. also Banana Hobby is not that good for servics, I did not get a batt with the ARF I ordered. I sent them the photos requested and...........The box is marked KIT but it is an ARF. I wanted Desert Camo and got SKY CAMO w/no batt.

I seriously dissagree with the two of you. This 4 company conglomeration has far less than stellar customer service. They hang up on people and close live chats the minute they don't like what they see\read. Heads up to everyone reading don't buy from <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">nitroplanes,xheli, nitrorcx, and partsworkz.

I bought two Guan Li A-10 brushless RTFs, and just opened the second one to find the wing & aileron damaged (see pics below). There was no box damage or other reason I could find for the damage.





Thanks,

I have had nothing but multiple proublems with a certain Nitro airplane , both in the plane and in there customer service, it would be very wise for someone to contact me as soon as possible, my order number is 859667, and if your a consumer like me you might want to email me and find out some very valuble info before ordering from nitro airplanes and it is all documented and true.

Delivered with broken wing ! I can not fix this !!

Folks who never got help need to report this BS..

http://www.la.bbb.org/Business-Repor...anes-100031949

If they can't help their customers with a little more zeal then screw 'em...

Yeah well you wouldnt believe what those folks at Nitro did to me, will share it with ever just email me and I will tell you all about it. tell ya what they sure have balls thats for sure , I will never buy from them again thats for sure.

CL-415, Good news, The new version of the kit has landing gear included, you can either leave them on or off.
[&o] Bad news, I didn't get any instructions, or the flat pieces that go on the wing tips, or the tail.
Order # yhst-17210252890263-138897.

First when the airplane did arrive it was short the hardware kit, so after two weeks I finnally got ahold of someone, who said they would send it right out , well two weeks later and several trips to the hobby store and lots of glue to reglue the plane where it should have been glued at thefactorythe plane was done , and guess what the hardware finally got to me. (but didnt need it cause I had already purchased what I needed from the hobby store), so finally Im able to fly this plane, I set it up exactly like the instructions that came with the plane said to, CG was dead on so on and so on(you would think after doing this for 30 years plus I would know how to set a plane up) anyway I took it off and it would fly fine at half throttle but any more than that it would climb like a rocket, so I brought it back down and added more nose weight (which by my mesurements it didnt need ) and I took it off again and again it climbed like a rocket, So after several calls to Nitro They finally agree to take the plane back , which ment I had to cut both wings in half with a saw and also cut the tail in half to get it in the custom box , , so after paying another $120.00 to ship it back to them, they finally sent me $273.00 back the original cost was $370.00 including shiping, not to mention the $100.00 in hardware that I had to buy , not to mention the $120.00 to ship the plane back to them , and they had the nerve to take 15% as a restocking fee, Now I ask you does that seem fair? whats to restock they had to of thrown the plane away when they got it due to the shape of the plane was in when I shiped it back with the wings cut in half and the tail section cut in half the plane wasnt much good for anything but the trash, so I know they didnt restock it , to me Nitro is no more than a theif . If your planing on buying from Nitro you had better think twice, the money you think your saveing isnt worth the way your treated and its not worth the product your getting. And untill I get my full refund plus the shipping (because had the plane flown right to begin with I wouldnthave had to ship it back to them in the first place) I will continue to tell whom ever will hear me or read this. I have reported them to the BBB and well see if that does any good. but its BUYERBEWARE if your going to buy from Nitro Planes I mean after all isnt it us the consumer that keeps these folks in buissness? then why is it we get run over by them so much , I think its time to do something about them. After all with out us what do they have?

Does posting a problem here really get any results ? Has anyone ever had there `broken pieces` replaced by posting in this forum.....
It feels like I'm shouting out an open window in the middle of the night........ :-(

Hey Sky, youve read my posting and Ive read your posting, so thats at least two people that knows about Nitro, while to some extent it dosent seem like anyone reads these but believe me the right people do read these , just because they dont reply does not mean they dont read them.

Right it just means no one gets help.

Im not sure if any staff is reading this post , When was the last time a staff member replied to any of this posts?

Ok my bad I see that John last logged in at 7/31/10 so I guess he does keep up with the posts, So John whats up with UPS have they paid up or am I just going to have to wait a bit longer
