I used just what the manual said to use said to use . That is why it was rewriting . And yes i did get a new 260 from them and had more trouble out of it than the first . So two years later all was forgotten and i picked up a 100cc yak boy was that a mistake . And im not the only one that has had trouble with them maybe im the only one with balls to tell them just what i think of them..

So Bodywerks you can kiss all the ass you want to with AW , But i think thay suck.....

Aeroworks one of the best companies out there for customer service period. They are in the same league as DA. No kiss ass here, just a statement of facts as they pertain to me. Could it be that you came across in a rather kurt fashion to them and they responded in kind?

A month ago I bought a new AW Extra 300 put 10 flights on the plane and noticed a bow in the wing tube that seemed a bit out of the norm to me. Without any question as to flying style, the guys at Aeroworks apologized, which they didn't need to do, and sent out a carbon fiber tube at no charge. The call was placed on a Wednesday morning. Brand new tube was delivered Friday evening for the weekend flying. What more could you ask?

They were like HS 625mg's that Tpooper used, and set it up for full 3D throw. So He has given us some useful information about planes here:
DON'T SKIMP ON THE QUALITY OF YOUR EQUIPMENT!!!
Also, don't use a rubber mallet to "set" your wing tube into the wing socket...

Cool thread ! I vote Chevrolet.

Not much respect for the guy stompin' his plane. Tells a little about stability.

FORD FORD FORD FORD

theres always one in the crowd

it would be nice to get back on topic though. i am curious on ACTUAL comparisons on the 2 planes. i have seen both fly and haven't flown either. but they do both seem to be great airplanes. i also see them both at imac events so they gota both be pretty good.
