| where do you find that the "debate and misdirection" to take away from the issue at hand?

I'm not trying to flame anyone here. All the discussion about preflight checks, "does Century sell a black 2 mm ball?", should have dissassembled and CA'ed the balls to the swashplate, dissassembling & loctiting Century's subassemblies, etc. all take away from the issue at hand, IMO. A customer received a swashplate with (1) incorrect size ball installed, which led to the failure of that part and the loss of the machine. I really don't care if Century "feels" like they're responsible. Unless Corn is a liar, they are responsible!

| how did century treat you? i see that you have 3 of there helis. i would think that you must have felt ok with it, after all you went back 2 more times, unless you bought all three at once.

I did not buy all (3) heli's at once. In fact, I bought each of them on three consecutive purchases. Century was well on their way to having a satisfied repeat customer. Also, my gallery was titled "Welcome to the Dark Side" and I only flew Century products. About nine months ago (June) a series of events started (and continue to this day) which soured my opinion of Century's management. I didn't feel like being put on "trial" here in RR, and I really didn't see any value in trying to bash a heli manufacturer. Because of this, you'll not be able to find a big Century bashing thread started by kaos2. I did change the name of my gallery. I did sell my Hawk Sport & replace it with the Sceadu EVO. My Predator is for sale, but I will probably continue to fly it. I'm not on a campaign against Century, and am not willing to take a financial beating just to fly a different 60 size ship. Notice, I did not say that I had a problem with Century products! If anyone (myself included) flies Century heli's, I'm not going to say anything negative about their choice. I can, as a customer, choose which companies I will support financially, and which ones I won't. I choose not to send my $$$ to Century at this time. I know I didn't provide the details you were hoping for and I won't. I don't feel like hiring a defense lawyer to handle my case on RR  On the other hand, I have my opinion which I'll continue to share, and my opinion is Century mis-assembled Corn's swashplate and is responsible for the resulting failure. Who knows, maybe Corn will choose my approach.
Thanks for the kind comments about my paint. Those were the first canopies I ever painted.  |
. I can tell you which company WON'T BE getting a portion of it.
