Hi Mike - Sorry to hear of your experience but I really advise that you
don't give up. Like I said in a previous post, I started in November
(2007)
by buying a EasyCopter. It cost £99 at Modelzone and I've got the bug - so
don't give up.
There may be an issue with the guarantee - you need to find out if you can
obtain the receipt then take the a/c back to the place of purchase.
1. The shop will argue that it there is no guarantee as the a/c can be
crashed causing un-identifiable damage. But you still have your statuary
rights.
2. The shop may be able to offer advice (the people who work in these
places
are 'world experts' and they are keen to help).
3. The shop has a self-interest in solving the problem for you, because
the
are advantages with promoting the hobby and on-going sales.
Sorry to rant on - but I've had so much enjoyment with this hobby and I
think you would too.
Regards - Dave
