| Guys I think you took it the wrong way. IMHO D.W. meant no offence. He just said that one can buy the Tx from Towerhobbies, do the testing and then return it for a full refund. This saves quite a lot of hassle and is the most secure way. If you think about it a lot of things can go wrong when somebody you don't know personally sends you a rather expensive toy to play with.

Thanks for the support. And yes, I believe my suggestion was taken the wrong way. Perhaps if I had worded it "If no one offers to loan you one, you could always buy it form Tower yada-yada-yada." things might have been different. It was meant as a serious suggestion with no offense intended.

| I consider buying something with full intent to return it just plain wrong
|
I have tried out several items in this manner. When a business offers "No questions asked returns" I take it to mean exactly that. Having never purchased anything with the sole intention of taking it back, I have returned many, many things when the product didn't live up to my expectations. My suggestion was "If you don't like it, they accept returns without asking a question.", not "Buy it knowing you will return it and do your testing". Not knowing JKOS from the man in the moon, I thought your testing was to see if you wanted to buy one for yourself. After the surprising responses to my message, I looked at your previous messages and now know what your real intentions are. Perhaps the unfortunate thing is, you assumed everyone knew what your previous work was and that I would know those intentions. If you had stated: "Will someone please loan me one so I can test it and add its data to my archive, see message xxxxx" I might have known what you are wanting to do.
In any case, I offer no apologies to you because my intentions were in no way meant to be offensive. Your testing seems to be helpful to many. Keep up the good work.
Later;
D.W. |
