Not only online, but also from the local dealer network. It’s good to see Horizon taking this seriously, as we all spend a good chunk of coin with them every year.

(I'm really sorry to be posting on here, but I can't figure out how to find you in our system with just your first name.) We stumbled across your post here in the consumer division and were concerned, so I have my Logistics guy looking into it because that is so not what we signed up for with UPSMI! :) I'm the consumer sales manager and my name is Beth. Feel free to give me a call if you like. I'm really sorry that this happened--we will definitely get the situation fixed because we can't be having that kind of shipping delay. Hey Eli,

It couldnt be trimmed to fly correctly without alot of down elivator, on the landing aproach I lost control it and it was destroyed. Iam an experienced rc pilot and Iam very disapointed in the performance of the plane. I really was looking forward to flying this airplane its very bueatiful and well made. I e-mailed parkzone and complained I figure it had to be an error from the factory and orderd a second plane because I know others have had success in flying it . I hope the second one works better!

Due to their service policy I ended up getting a free PZ Sukhoi BNF. I fixed the original and gave it the much needed mods. Now its a vey fun plane to fly. Still have a brand new one in the box.

I didn't spend enough with them directly this year, most of the whor$izon brands I use like JR, Spektrum, E-Flite, Hangar 9, Parkzone, etc. can be had from LHS for same price if u r willing to wait for at least a week. Which can suck if the proprietor forgets to order! And alot of my cheddar went to toddsmodels.com And Horizon does have awesome customer service the majority of the time. Still the gift is nice, and what really matters is that %20 off + free shipping! lucky Eli! Ya, the nice little flip-book of Horizon products!
