I was reading some posts about problems people were having order from Helihobby.
I'm considering buying a complete kit from them, but have a problem with a retailer that doesn't give out their phone number!
Their prices look very good.
Any comments from anyone, before I do?

I would order from Dennis at Dee Tees before I went any where else. Then if he does not have what you want I would try slys hobby den. I would only use Heli Hobby as the last resort. No phone to contact, nasty e-mail returns if you get any at all and shipping dates 1-2 weeks later than promised. Also I have a friend that ordered and paid for something over 6 months ago and he still has not received his merchandise.

I recently placed an order with helihobby. Requested Priority Mail 2 to 3 day delivery. Four days later, No package and no tracking number or any indication that my order had been shipped. I emailed them to find out if my order had been shipped. If it had not shipped, I told them to cancel the order, and if it did ship, what was the tracking number. A day later, (day 5) they sent me an email saying "it will go out today," Another two days went by (now day 7) and I finally got tracking information that it was shipped. A couple of days after that, the tracking information showed it delivered to Jasper, Texas. The thing is, I live in Erwin, Tennessee. I thought that maybe helihobby gave me the wrong tracking number, so I called the Post Office in Jasper to get more information. As it turned out, it was sent with my name and PO Box number but the wrong city. I asked the Jasper PO to forward it to me, but they couldn't. Once again, I emailed helihobby explaining the error, and for them to cancel the order. Three days later and still no response from helihobby. Contacted the credit card company and reversed the charge. Placed the order with PMP and got my stuff in 2 days. Needless to say, I won't ever order from helihobby again. Dee Tee and Sly's have both been recomended here. I would also recomend Dream Hobbies www.dreamhobbies.com I have ordered from them in the past and got excelent service.

I see that you are located int NJ. I am in Upstate NY and we have a very well kept secret up here. It is Barnspeed Hobbies in Lee, MA.
No web site but a very well stocked shop and he is competitve and very timely with his shippments..
The owner also flies heli so he knows what you are talking about when you ask a question. (nice)
Give Joe a call at 1-800-499-2651 ( I had to look up the number.. I have him on speed dial !!)


www.theflyingdeuces.com (our Web Site) see things we do. Joe is in there someplace....

I've heard nothing but good things about the quick efficient service from Heli-Kraft. you will get what you ordered on-time and cheaper than most places. it's worth looking into for sure. I put in an order with some guy's in my club and we got our stuff in 4 days, exactly as advertised.

I get nervous dealing with mail order but would not hesitate to use heli-kraft again.

Yeah I got their Phone # HeliHobby

(818) 348-HELI

Hello, I would not recommend this Hobby shop. They will never answer your phone calls and I consider THEM DANGEROUS

I purchased a set of Mah Carbon blades and would you believe that they sent me two unmatched blades. SHALL I REPEAT
Two UN Matched Blades. Mah blades come with markings indicating the root size, blade chord, span. The #'s do not match.

Are they conspring me to have a heli that shake itself to pieces and God Forbid cause a dangerous condition. Needless to say I never mounted the blades. Iam returning the blades, but don't know what will happen. THEY DO NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONES.
