UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE:Horizon just called me, they are sending free of any charge a new in the box 35% extra 260, WOW, NOW THATS WHAT I CALL GREAT SERVICE I will gladly continue using horizon. thanks amillion.I just wanted every one to know how disappointed i am with hangar 9. One of our elderly club members just went and bought a nos v1 hangar9 sukhoi from the LHS. He already had a new bme 102, hitec 5955 servos and lipo battery system ready for this airplane. To make a long story short the plane was test flown Sunday 2 weeks ago.I Took the plane off and immediately noticed that the right hand wing flexed really bad, I landed the plane. We inspected the wing and found that covering had busted and the wing was in pretty bad shape. The following monday I called horizon, I gave the CSR the story he told me that sense they no longer make that plane or parts, just send the entire plane back he would give me 850.00 credit and i would have to pay shipping. GREAT. It costed almost 200.00 to ship the old plane back. Once they received the plane, they called me and said sense I used the bme 102 instead of that big heavy zenoah gt 80 that there was nothing they could do. Now we have a 799.00 (999.00 with shipping back) that we cant even fly.
