<font color="black" face="arial">Hi guys
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I ordered one of these right after the thread started, first week of March. I didn't notice that the shipping was $65 so I cancelled the order. Unfortunately when I ordered I used PayPal and Hobby King was paid. Hobby King acknowledged the cancellation of the order but has not refunded my $183. I have filed a complaint with PayPal and have emailed Hobby King at least 4 times but they ignore me. I am pretty sure I will eventually get my money back but buyer beware. Your mileage may differ.</div>
