Okay time for a rant
A lady friend carried out the swap on my behalf of my Trex 600 pro fully loaded with the good stuff and in perfect order as described for an MPXLE with actro motor blades and controller.

The MP was described to me as in "excellent condition and perfect working order"

The model I received has poorly repaired multiple cracks in the canopy.
I did not receive the swash lock OR the balls for the servo arms confused:
It has at least two cracks a side in the lower carbon frames, and one U/C leg where it fits in to the mount

He got a blade caddie I didn't, he removed the blades instead, okay fair enough he's also a tight wad.

So as the title says it will be a while before this one is flown, and I will probably have to do a complete rebuild to go over it all as there is in/out play in the tail output shaft so I know it's not built as I would wish either.

Rant over for now and yes I have contacted him but not received a reply yet

Man that is horrible. I hope it was not a fellow Runryder. Did you call him and let him know your concerns and give him a chance to rectify the situation?

I will post up the pic's when i see it.

Graham (Uk sailor) is a great guy, but it must be said if you buy something 'blind' you have to take responsibility for that decision.

Shame, but a lesson learnt. (For all)

Moan moan moan this is the fifth time I have tried to post a reply here and each time my computer has shut down my connection very frustrating, hopefully this time I will suceed.

I did send a mail giving the culprit a chance to reply, but have not heard from him, but then as he sent something which was meant to be undamaged and in excellent condition he knew what he was doing in sending me a model with attempted repairs and fractured frames.
Being lied to is never very palatable, and Colsy is right I did buy blind, but then I am blind in one eye and must having been looking with that one rather as Nelson did.

I will get Colsy to post a photo or two as he has offered when he is a little less busy but I don't think the frame fractures will show very well.

In the end I will get the model sorted and it will cost but i'd rather be an honest person paying out than have to live with doing wrong to another and knowing it, sermon over.

I dont know if he is on RR, personaly I have been given a lot of help and most friendly advice from many who frequent this forum, long may it continue.
However given the upset this has caused, to cheer me up I realy think Soukonian should post another video this time with his canopy painted, OR I will have to go and buy myself a Vibe 50 or bandit or Trex 500 to cheer myself up
