I am a new member to RunRyder so I hope you other members don't mind what I am saying here.
All RunRyder members and guest beware of one of our members who does not live up to his word when he sells you something. I am talking about member MIKE WESTBROOK (AKA RCTAZ). I purchased a Futaba 401 gyro and two sets of pro T-Rex Wooded blades from him on May 2,2006. Paid him with paypal and asked him to please send next day by priority mail as I really needed the gyro. He assured me he would, well today is May 13,2006 and I have not received anything except three email last night (because I contacted a few of his friends to ask for help in making RCTAZ answer several emails and voice mail I had left for him all week long) saying how sorry he was for not sending the gyro and blades when he said he would. But he assured me he had sent them this past Wednesday, well like I said today is Saturday May 13, 2006 and still nothing. Watch out for this guy just a warning to all members on how he cheets people. I live in Harvey, La. and it should only take three days to receive anything from Texas by way of priority mail. Buyers beware of MIKE WESTBROOK (AKA RCTAZ).This is the kind of thing that makes everybody scepital of doing business on RunRyder or any other forum for that matter.
Now if RCTAZ does the right think and sends me back my money I will be glad to post he did the right thing and let ALL members know he did take care of his obligation since I never received the gyro or blades.I asked him for a tracking number but never got one so you be the judge how would you feel if this was happening to you. As a group we need to stick together to stop this kind of abuse by unscrupless members and let everyone know not to trust them. I thank everyone who reads this and if someone feels I am wrong for letting everyone know how a fellow member treats members then all I can say is I hope and pray it never happen to you, where you loose your hard earned money not to a crash or some other mishap but to a crook.
Thank you all

I recently purchased two 2100 Prolites off of Mike. They've yet to arrive, but I have no doubt they will. I sent him two PMs when I started to worry a bit, and they went unread for days. He contacted me two nights ago, telling me that he'd had computer troubles that left him unable to remain online for more than a short period.

He has apologized profusely, and I'm confident that my Prolites will arrive soon. I have no reason to doubt a good contributing member of the RR community with good entries on the GG list.

Man purchased on May 2nd and already flaming 11 days later. I have to say as a buyer and seller that I handle things privately as much as possiable. I recentaly sold a few bearings and a accucyle that never arrived to the buyers. I know for a fact that they were shipped, but the buyers said that they never arrived. Neither one of them flammed me and I made it right with both of them. This after probably 3 weeks of waiting on there part. I think you need to have a little patients and give things time to unfold. 11 days is not a flame time frame, especially with an established member who will make it right with you.

Thanks

RCtaz

IS a great guy !!!
I have done dealings with him and Fly with Taz and he will make anything right he has tried to make all things right with this guy but there is little understanding on the other parties end !

Unlike!! The "Defiant" I feel Mike will get this all worked out with you ASAP! You should have called him instead of FLAMEING Mike Here!! or you could have PMed him first??

I think this was a little premature to go this route !
After all you only have 1 post here on RR to Flame someyone????OK


RCTAX = A Great Guy To Deal With!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry you have to deal with this, Mike. Some people have hair triggers, I guess.

This is a totally bogus thread as well as totally uncalled for man.

I have had many dealings with Mike, he has always been honest and a stand up guy. You have no right to do this on an open forum. You should have given it more time before you start this kind of crap

Sorry Mike
