Re: WTF is wrong with bad seller/vendor experience threads?

Quite true-- the customer IS ALWAYS right...

But like most truisms, nobody seems to stick to that anymore... Sadly.

Re: Estes Scorpion build thread

Yeah, factory vehicle paint jobs last about, at most, 10 years now and they're COMPLETELY SHOT, for the most part. My 02 F-150 Supercrew had all the clearcoat peel off the hood starting a few years ago, it's almost completely gone now except for a little at the very back corners of the hood by the w...

Re: WTF is wrong with bad seller/vendor experience threads?

I'm with you GH... if you don't want to face the harsh light of criticism and being exposed and labeled as a "crook", then don't do crooked stuff. Pretty simple, ain't it. What I can't figure out is John's part in all this... he just lurks 99% of the time, but comes out swinging over some ...

Re: WTF is wrong with bad seller/vendor experience threads?

Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way, or feels that JP was having a rather visceral reaction to something, at best, that's a minor issue. It doesn't figure. Oh well. Opinions are like buttholes-- everybody's got one. I just can't figure people who think that such things are verboten to disc...

WTF is wrong with bad seller/vendor experience threads?

WTF is wrong with bad vendor threads? John Pursley's having a cow over on YORF over DannyRMissile (or something like that LOL:) posting his bad experience buying a kit off Feebay that wasn't what he expected. Apparently, the seller convinced him it was a good kit that was intact but "had been r...

Re: Astro Cam Rehab

Pretty sure mine are all gone... mostly pics of the farms anyway, nothing *particularly interesting* to anybody but me. Not even sure if they still exist or where they might be if they did... or what condition they'd be in. Last I saw of them they were probably in a bunch of my stuff in Grandma's at...

Re: Astro Cam Rehab

Yep... flew my AC a lot back in the late 80's and early 90's... pics were very hit-n-miss. Like yours, the fin can started cracking after maybe a dozen flights. Used airplane glue for repair, but eventually the fins bust off. Just a weakness of the design. I bought a "Maniac" (as the Chall...
