RE: Indy Car from FLying Thingz
Hollo Ons_pk, The problem is that your incedent is off. Place a level on the top of the fuselarge and level it and do the same for the spoiler. Just for the record i'm no longer the owner of FlyingThingZ, I sold the company to a nice guy by the name of Tony Diaz Cheers Spiro

RE: Flying Flag by flyingthingz
Hello Gadi, That is amazing. We actually sold the company to Tony Diaz in California. I'm am now the company test pilot [>:] which means I get to fly a lot more than I used to. Give Tony a chance, he's a great guy and we wish him as much success with FlyingThingZ as I had. Thanks for the videos. Happy Landing Spiro Team FlyingThingZ Pilot

RE: $100.00 for shipping!
Hello, Don't blame Horizon for the shipping. This is a e-mail to one of my customers Hello Francisco, The www.usps.com has raised their price and lowered the size of the box. At one time I was able to ship a box Priority Mail because the box size was 108" inches and our box size is 109" inches so they use to let me slide for the extra inche. Now the www.usps.com has lowered the inches to 79" inches so there for I can't ship your item out with priority mail. Due to the size. The only way I could ship it is through Global Express Mail, but the problem is that the price to ship to Spain is $255.92. I know it's CRAZY, and I do appologize, this is totaly out of my hands. I will be sending you a full refund.

RE: Jump Rope Nationals on ESPN2
Hey Major, it's funny that you asked, Henry and I never know when there going to air the show. We do know by the amounts of hits we get on FlyingThingZ web site, that the show has been aired. The next Discovery show will be Discovery Kids, and we're going to show them how we train people to fly. By the way the next show is Fiverson Entertainment "When Pigs Fly" Henry and I were challenged to make a Pig Fly in under 8Hours, it was nice that the producer sent us a copy of the show in dvd.

RE: Horizon's Advice on shipping a plane...CRAZY!!!
You could trust them. Spiro FlyingThingZ Inc. [quote]ORIGINAL: *JCB* The ez connect on the belcrank for the mechanical retract let go on my maiden flight of my H9 Hellcat (a factory installed piece). So, the left landing gear would not extend for a landing. My choice was to do a belly landing which resulted in some damage to the firewall. I called Horizon yesterday and they said "Ship it back so we can look at" to which my response was "uhhhh...ok." I thought about it a little more and decided this thing is gonna be WAY to hard to ship, as they wanted the whole plane back. So i called them back today and the Technician said "Do what you gotta do, we need to have that plane here" - i told him something along the lines of the my incapabilities to ship this thing safely. His response was "Well, break the wing" [size=5]WHAT!?!???!![/size] [sm=47_47.gif] [sm=stupid.gif] [sm=what_smile.gif] "We understand the limits of shipping, but we need the plane back to look at it, do what you gotta do to get it in a box and ship it to us. But just leave the damaged areas as-is so we can take a look at them" at this point I am completely speechless when the tech attemps to comfort me!! He said "I know it's going to be hard to do, but just do it" So my response was "does this mean i'm getting a new plane site unseen?" to which his response was "YEP!" Anybody out there have any experience with this? I'm afraid to wreck the plane and be S.O.L. if they don't cover it. But I guess since they told me to do that, they are liable, right?
