FWIW, I once ordered from the so-called 'scammers' (before I knew about this) and I received my jet without problems.
Not endorsing it, maybe I just got lucky. But I got the jet.

They seem to deliver some product to get his reputation up and then keeps a bunch of money to increase his profit margin.

My Top Design struts and brakes showed up too. Nice stuff except for the stiff springs. Same as yours. I can barely compress the strut springs. They will probably barely compress with a hard slam down landing. I can't imagine why they are so stiff. We will see. I have not installed them yet.
Take the strut apart, get rid of the spring, and clean out all the old grease. Find the biggest size tubing that just fits in the strut. Cut the length a bit longer so there is a touch of compression when the strut is extended. Lube it all up with the white lithium grease and put it back together. White lithium is safe for rubber and plastic. Now try the action. You can vary the size/length of the tubing to get just what you want. You'll find that the strut now compresses easily at first but comes to a firm, cushiony stop with very little to no rebound. Take the load off and it readily extends every time. Just like a real airplane shock should!
There aren't too many planes that I don't add this mod to anymore.Fly low, fly fast, turn left

When I come across this, I do a little trick with fuel tubing and white lithium grease.

On the subject of practical mods, I finally figured out a way to hang my EDF jets like art work on the wall, without rope or cushions to obstruct the view. Cheap, too. Just need a couple of eye hooks, washers and carabiners. Simply replace the rear fan hatch screw with eye hook and tighten down with washer. Then hook on with mini Carabiner and hang onto picture hangers.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/motionsic

I've had mine ready to go for over six months. Everytime I hear of this plane crashing makes me reconsider even maidening it. There are just far too many questions concerning this plane. I may just sell it.
Instead of focusing on the crashes, note that the majority of the owners who have made the suggested / important upgrades, CG changes, best practices for electronics installation, and consciously avoid the known problematic flight profiles (and have learned the recovery methods just in case) are having a blast flying this bird.
Not to overly influence your decision, if you decide to not fly it you will be missing out on flying an awesome and fun EDF.
Several have 100+ fun flights. Some have flown over 10X that number without incident. Thus, there are NOT (as this demonstrates) many unanswered questions remaining.
If I were to screw up and crash mine, I would order another ASAP.

After that you can start doing all the other mod's listed in this thread if you want, but I think correct use of flaps is most vital.

I wish MRC would get on with releasing the 30g elevator servo set up - as it's coming out with the latest batch why not get it available to the rest of us as parts. I've maidened mine, but having experienced the dive toward the dirt first hand (& agree it was most likely deployment of flaps at too high speed) I'd prefer to have the latest upgrade installed. Interesting to be on the 3rd servo arrangement in such a short time - I know that doesn't validate a real issue, but is reflective of MRC's real commitment to addressing the most likely undeserved bad rap this plane has gotten.
