RE: Bandit Arf Wing tanks/ missiles
[quote]ORIGINAL: Kenrico Thanks! Guys I sent an email to Dan asking about stock status( awaiting answer). I have my fingers crossed he answers quickly. On the pylons I found this pylon kit on BVM, would this be the kit I need for the Bandit? http://shopbvmjets.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=33&products_id=517&zenid=lqh0r5sm65mdgif24odn8qteb7 It includes the EZ drop system which I don't need but seems like that's the only way it's sold. Thanks again for the help Guys I really appreciate it! [/quote] Do not order the EZ Drop kit, talk to Dustin and order the standard pylon parts for the wing tanks. Alan

RE: F-86 Skymaster - RC installation??
I have my tanks against the bulkhead, there is about 1/4 inch clearance between the tanks at best. Clearance between the turbine and the tanks is shall i say minimal.... i have 1/2 a bypass between the turbine and the tanks but i feel that this is not needed as it is only the front 2 inches of the turbine is covering the main tanks. You can use a heat shield that you get from a speed shop to deflect the heat away from the tanks. The F-86 needs a lot of nose weight no matter what you do, my plane balanced with the cockpit and a 1/6 figure and 8 oz. of lead. the plane flies great with a Jet Central eagle turned down to 24 lbs. I have close to 100 flights on her and she will slow down nicely for landings. With the power i have she is a 150 to 160mph easily. Sean bring your bird to Hamburg one weekend and fly with us, PM me and i will send you my cell number if you have additional questions. Alan

RE: P-200SX installationin place of P-160SX
Harley it has been well documented that with the larger engines you do not want to run a single standard UAT, the nalgene bottles that they are manufactured with are to soft and collapse in on themselves when they are subjected to high draw rates. I have even seen this happen with a jetcat HP5 turbine heli motor which is based on a p80. The AMA speed restriction reference is of no value here when we are discussing the P-200's fuel consumption rate. Alan

RE: Question on customer service expectations
I provide warranty support on software that we sell to our customers, if one of my customers calls in and requests an upgrade to their product that they are entitled too because they are under a warranty agreement or service contract i will send them what they request. I will suggest that they have us perform the install at a minor cost. If they decline and have their technical staff perform the install and screw up the installation we will bill them to correct the issues their staff created, we are not responsible for training them in the proper procedure to upgrade their system.

RE: Question on customer service expectations
[quote]ORIGINAL: Max_Power FlyinFool1....Your interest seems to be in defending the manufacturer from ''Bad Press'' .Just to clarify my viewpoint, The reason I think the OP should reveal the manufacturer is that he states the the product failed without crash damage or mishandling and with ''normal use'', And implies that there might be some non-visible issues if disassembling or a design defect. I think it is VERY relevant ...perhaps not to this specific post...but in the interest of safety and money that might be lost in another fliers failure (would not a broken case cause stress to the electronic connections?) . To me its the same as someone posting ''Hey, my 2 friends and I just got new x brand radios and are using them with a g4567 reciever and have all had multiple glitches 2 resulting in crashes and destruction of the model!'' What if THAT person refused to say the name of the product? Would you urge them to? If it really just fell apart that is definitely something that should be shared with ''The Brotherhood of Aeromodelers'' As far as disputing the company's customer service it isn't necessary, But honestly a picture might show that the issue was far different than we are assuming. Actually my assumption was that the picture might show a larger factor of user error and DEFEND a seemingly accused manufacturer. There are simply too many threads here where a poster only writes half the story and to me that is far less ''fair'' Honestly if the issue is as stated and the manufacturer will charge for the repair then I don't see any way that it would be ''slamming'' the manufacturer or not important for prospective consumers to know. Todd [/quote] WOW, the sky is falling...... RC manufactures are holding out and not letting their consumers know the truth.... OH MY........ I guess you guys have never tried to replace servo cases, the circuit boards are glued in to keep them positioned correctly as well as some of the motors. i found this out 10 years ago no black ops here. The case most likely failed from being subjected to chemicals (fuel), excessive heat or cold and vibration. Oh and i forgot it is our responsibility to monitor our equipment and replace it when necessary..... Alan
