If there is any wrong part received, you should tell me about.Thats why we are here from 7am-22pm, fully reachable by 2 mail adresses, phone, and more.. MSN, SKYPE.. did i forget any thing?
in general M2 and M3 tail case is the same, but there is small part which is different, but no problems, We dont want our customers to have non usable part. unfortunately, when holding stock of 12k parts,this can happen, its happens, and we are here to take care of that.
regarding USA import.
i dont want to open old discussion, i am sure if you search you see all the reality about what happened with Robbe in USA, its not Robbe fault, there were better times in USA, i wish it would still stay the same, USA is a big market. if there is someone interested to bring Robbe to usa, i am sure they will be happy, i will help if needed.
In general:
1- due the production costs, Robbe decided to stop develope further heli projects, i could understand, that, customer dont care if he pay 600 usd for 90 size china made heli which flys!, so why to pay more for quality?
Myself i am a modeler for 25 years, i fly helis since 1990, and my first heli was MA xcell 60
Again, its not a comparasion topic, but one thing. that heli did over 100 h of hovering( for training purposes), i think in each 5 flights i had to replace something- but without crash or else, just natural maintenance, and Very High one.
For me, Thats called marketing, heli which need to change parts on constant basis- its a good heli, because it generating income.
Thats where the "BAD" side of Robbe shows . based on a customer we have, he owns one of the first Millenium's.i would say-+/- 10 years?
he really flying " calm way" rolls, loops, some mild 3d, nothing agressive, very correct guy, checks every single part, and from here, he doesnt crash.
you know what he replaced for last 10 years? 2 times head dampners.8 usd each time. is it make sense?
Robbe do not sell parts unless you crash. i dont think there are any of helis can be put in same. Ok, its German work, design, and production. in Simple words QUALITY.
i cant and dont want to convince which heli you should fly or not, but what you have now, is a quality machine. if you maintain it correct, and assuming its assembled correctly, you have a long living machine. other then that, i dont see a barrier of ordering abroad parts..
take in account some crash parts, to keep them for you. the rest, is a little of luck with postage, and within days you have the parts.
