I am seriously wondering if Xheli is going to ditch the copter and run... What do you mean? I am seriously concerned about how bad the customer service is. At least they respond on the board but I think I am being given the runaround. My tracking number has said billing info received for days now but "Eric" insists the order has been shipped.

If I had made a mixed reputation like that, I'd change the company name, and make a new one.
Start 6 online hobby shops. In a year or two, keep the one with the least complaints, and run with it.
Or start a new entity, making sure it DOESN'T get a bad rep.

I'd never seen such ardent Trolls in my life, until I visited THAT forum. With so many scroo'd-over-feeling Humans present, it is a very toxic environ over there. I got myself banned there without too much trouble, BTW ;D ;D ;D Some schmuck called me a doper, and I dug up his stash photos on his Photobucket, and posted them. Tee hee. I don't "work", I'm retired, and have ALL DAY to goof off if I wish, or spend some time Googling very-uniquely-mis-spelled words*.*This is why proper spelling should be important to us all: bad spelling is usually person-specific in nature, and can be easily collated, sliced and diced.

WOW. Ya tore him a new one, BRAVO. If I order a SHIRT from Macy's I get a return label...IN THE BOX with it.Xhell's apparent market share is NOT being re-invested in the company, period. IMHO!

wow, props from kill boo-kay. i am honored. =)
i went to a local (!!) place today called cooltoysonline, which is within a trade center about 2 miles from my house.
picked up a syma s026 after i vehemently read your recommendation thread on rcgroups as i walked around the trade center. $25 it was. was not expecting to see a storefront with the same product as the online retailers. s107 and 6010 were $40 out the door. a little pricey, but they also stock spare parts as well, and they are right freakin there. hahaha.
within moments of being home i was airborne, chasing the cats.
piss off, xheli.
by the way, i did a chargeback with xheli. god, those jerks. i've gotten some fan mail even, from folks that really liked how i made em squirm.

Got my z005's yesterday, 4 of 'em, 2 for a friend. I can see why Bestofferbuy is selling them cheaper.
Ship #1 - The TX is inoperable because one of the battery contacts was missing. I guess that is why one should buy 2 choppers, one for parts.
Ship #2 Battery lost power after 2 mins. of flying. Throttle back and land, count to 5 and it will take off again. For 15 secs. of flying. Land-repeat.
Ships #3 and #4 - no issues, yet. They are my friends' and we will try them Monday.
Disassembly found that the batteries in ships #1 and #2 were the dreaded aforementioned 140mah direct wired lipos. I had charged them each ONCE with my tried and true 6010 USB charger, not the yellow USB supplied. Both batteries puffed up after 1 charge. Now worthless. Luckily the 5 150ma 20C pc boarded lipos that I eBayed arrived in the mail. So all is not lost!
I removed the body off my trusty 6010 Phantom and charged with the yellow USB charger. Red light comes on when plugged into PC, goes off when plugged into chopper - then comes back on when charged. Charged/flew 3 times with yellow USB, seems to work fine with a pc board lipo as in the 6010. BTW, ships #3 and #4 have 150ma pc board lipos also. Just got unlucky with the first 2.

I reely, reely, WANT to order the new Double Horse 9100 to try out...
But-
Their previous models all say it's junk.
Nonetheless, I may pull the trigger on one, but DEF NOT at Xhell.
