[NSRCA-discussion] Great Deal on pattern plane at Tower

[Atwood, Mark]

I've also had some pretty mixed results.  Some great experiences and
some not so great.  The not so great got highlighted with purchasing
some monokote via the web site, getting bad rolls, and having to spend
more than the cost of the product shipping them back to verify that they
were bad in order to get them replaced.  

 

On the flip side, and I hope this isn't taken as a biased plug...
Because I'm sponsored by Airtronics, I've recently had the opportunity
to get acquainted with Global Hobbies and Hobby People.  So far, my
experience there has been excellent.  The owner maintains a blog, and
comments are answered directly.  Several of the product managers
maintain a public "presence" on the forums (RCU, eZone, and most
recently, the Airtronics User group).    I realize they are a much
smaller player, but they seem to be paying attention to the right things
and listening to feedback and answering questions.  

 

My experience is limited to a few months though, where as I have 15
years of good and bad service with Tower.  So time will tell.  But so
far so good.

Sounds like some had a bad experience. I have been using them for the
last 7 years using their web site and have had nothing but excellent
service.

I had a really bad experience with them a few years ago and have not
purchased anything from them since. I flat out refuse to deal with any
company where you cannot reach management with issues.

		Wow!  What a deal.  It's only missing the fuselage,
wings and ailerons.  But it's new, with severe damage.  Gotta jump on
that.
