I am writing in regards to this sale:
http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t274997p1/
We made the deal on the heli and he shipped it promptly. It arrived in good time and well packaged and seemed all in order, so I added him to the good guy list. Then the problems began. He had forgotten to ship some of the hardware like header tank, servo mounting plates etc. I emailed and he was supposed to ship them out to me. He said he shipped them 8-14-06. I still do not have them or the flybar paddles he promised me.
Then, when I went to mount what I was sold as a '90' sized boom, I found it and the torque tube were actually for an R60. SO, I couldn't use the 710 blades he shipped me nor some other 90 bits I have here. He said, and I quote "I guess that is what I get. I bought that off of runryder and the guy told me they were 90 sized and I never bothered checking them. Sorry. I thought that is what they were."
So, I get screwed because he made a mistake? I have now had to buy a 90 Boom and Torque Tube and Torque Tube Bearings for the 90 boom, plus pay shipping for them to New Zealand = not cheap. He initially offered to refund me the price difference between the 60 boom/torque tube and the 90 units I had to buy. Since that offer (8-29-06) I have not gotten the refund nor have I heard from him again re the missing parts or the refund. This is despite several emails from me. Man am I pi$$ed off. I've got this beautiful new bird just sitting here grounded because of someone on RR's dishonesty.
Thanks but no thanks Rod Long, aka: anema769
Buyers Beware...
If this situation changes or he decides to co-operate, I am happy to update this post to reflect that...
