This is not so much a, "don't buy from this place" kind of post as it is a "holy crap is it hard to communcate with some people post" and I'm not saying I will not buy here, but...
I have been told numerous times and seen on websites and airplane packages that RTF meant everything you need to fly the plane is in the box...So I contacted BH today to inquire as to why MANY of the planes on their website are listed as RTF, when in fact you have to supply a Tx, Rx, battery and charger. The first response told me all about the refund/return policies in effect at BH and also informed me that they do in fact have in stock the airplane that I used as an example, but did not answer the question. I responded and attempted to ask the question a little differently but pointing out that while it does say on some of the RTF models that you do need to supply the TX,Rx and battery it also uses the terms "Ready to Fly", "Complete kit", "Everything is Included" in addition to "RTF" in the same product "promotion/ad". My main point was to alert them to the contraditory infromation they are putting in the web ads.Their second response is as follows: "For optional accessories, some customer have them in their hand, if the price include with all of these accesories, but some customer doesn't want and no need them."
Now, I'm not making fun of their grasp of the english language, I have been known to butcher it badly myself at times. And for the last 25 years I have worked side by side with Japanese engineers and spent many months in Japan, so I'm used to the broken English. (but I did expect more from a girl named Cathy, my wife's name is Kathy and she....well never mind. I said I was making fun.) So my response was short and sweet, "Ok,... you win."
Does anyone agree with my definition of "ready to fly"? It sounds to me like "Cathy" thinks I'm angry about having to use my own radio equipment. My only point was don't call an airplane RTF unless it truly is ready to fly. I really don't think she understood what I was asking/stating. Am I totally off base by asking this question?
