problems with AT

HjorturG · 01-02-2008, 03:37 PM

Like some of you might remember myself and Casey g won a contest here on FG, we designed color schemes for Aerotech RC and as a reward we were each promised a 50cc plane from Aerotech, Casey got a Yak and I got a Pitts Python. Now it's been one and a half years and after countless e-mails and unanswered phone calls we still haven't got our planes. We dont know what to do exept post here and ask for your help. Max has been really helpful but even he cant make John at Aerotech contact us and finish this thing...

Some of you might look at my location and think "Well duh, maybe there's a problem with shipping to ICELAND!" but my friend who runs a modelshop here in Iceland is going to help me and he is going to have FedEx pick the plane up from Aerotech's warehouse. So the only thing he has to do is prepare the plane for transport and let me know when and where it is ready!
I really think John is a good guy and is true to his word, but I am beginning to have my doubts... :S

Here are the original threads, the contest:

New 50cc Color YAK Schemes............

And the winners announced:

FastnLow · 01-02-2008, 03:56 PM

You boys deserve some planes BIG TIME!!

aerofundan · 01-02-2008, 03:59 PM

john and i are working this out

HjorturG · 01-02-2008, 04:13 PM

Ok John I got your email, and I have sent you like 3 email with everything you need and with my decisions in this matter. And now I am going to post it here too so I am sure you get it.

This I have sent you at least three times but I will try one more time. Please let me know if something is not clear or if you need anything more.

I have arranged for the plane to be picked up from your location during business hours, The only thing you need to do is let me know when the plane is ready for pick-up and where you are located. I will then tell my friend this and the location and he will let FedEx pick up the plane. I am meeting him on Saturday so If you can have the plane ready by then it would be great. Then I can tell him where it is located and he will have FedEx pick it up asap.

Please let me know that you understand and have read this.

Did you really just ask a person to commit tax fraud on a public Forum?

HjorturG · 01-02-2008, 04:35 PM

Maaaayybe......

But taxes in Iceland are criminally high so.... It balances things out..

Or is it called tolls... dont know.. I think tolls..

HjorturG · 01-02-2008, 04:47 PM
