Hi there, just saw this thread on a google search while doing some research about the owner of Xtreme Hobby and thought I would share my story of my dealings with Xtreme Hobby

I ordered a plane online from this store and

I am now into the third week of the 5th MONTH of waiting for my plane to arrive.

Whenever contacting the store, either through email or telephone, all I get is promises and excuses and outright lies.

After 3 MONTHS of being very patient and not pushy at all, I received the wrong plane, an inferior model not worth the amount that I paid. When I contacted the store they said sorry, it's Freewings fault, we will contact them and get straight back to you. I never heard from them again until I contacted them......4 WEEKS LATER!! (I left it that long to see if Chad would ever get back to me)

Then I said just give me my money back and pick up the wrong plane.
I just got all kinds of lies for a week and then I said again just give my money back and pick up the plane.
I was told, yes that's fine we will organise that and have it all done in the following week.

Well that week has gone by and the second week has gone by and I still haven't been refunded and I haven't even been sent a courtesy email to let me know what is going on or a phone call......this is how it goes throughout the whole process, so no surprises there.

They will just ignore you until you give up, then they just keep your money

I have dealt with many hobby shops in my 45 years and have never had any problems until now.

Before purchasing anything from this store, type "Xtreme Hobby Complaints" into google and read the many tales of misery from other RCers.

I just think other RC enthusiasts like myself should know what to expect, if they choose to buy from Xtreme Hobby
I just wish someone had warned me, before this whole nightmare began.

I see further down in this thread where they say they have donated this and that, easy to do when you get money for free from people!

Thanks for your time and Happy Flying
