ScaleFlying.DE Tapping out

[PawPaw]

An alternative for me would be to sell my B412, B407, and 500 Apache and keep my 600 and 700 conversions since parts for the Align and PhoenixTech mechanics will be available, hopefully. Mrs Paw Paw would be too excited if I sold everything as a package deal and she’s just too old to handle that kind of emotion. 😂

[DCORSAIR]

Regrettably, I lack your spirit, lol. Thinking my 500 Apache, 600 UH-60, and 700 B407 will soon depart my hanger for parts unknown. Too many helis, too little time. 😎

Well I can understand that, once word gets out that parts are going to be hard to come by for our Roban helis, then they are either going to be priceless or worthless, but if I can possibly find a machine shop to make some of the parts that I may need down the road, bevel gears for sure and maybe some other metal parts, bearings can be had usually by other manufactures, some small bolts are hard to find the exact size, so I 'm going to sit tight for a bit and see what happens after Scaleflying.de parts company with Roban, then I will decide what I'm going to do, mine will be a pkg deal for all 5 of mine at once.......

I will be praying every time I do fly one though, please don't let me crash one today......

That’s the spirit, DC!

Ok so I went out to my shop to get the AH-6 ready to sell and after staring at it long enough and thinking, why am I giving this away for really no reason, it flies perfect and has no issues and looks great in the air, I just couldn't let it go yet, had a guy interested in it too...

[Gravythe clown]

PawPaw, I have been really focused on my new Jeep. This weekend though I flew my Blackhawk for the first "let her rip" flight. It flow so good that it was instantly back in my blood. Then DCORSAIR told me the news. Of course what I found on the site was the UH-1 which I wanted. Only thing I still want which may never happen is a 500 size Bluethunder.

Sfcfury, I sure hope they get back to me after the hundreds of emails before mine. LOL

I saw on FB that they said they are trying to respond to emails as fast as they can- with the announcement they have been flooded with a couple hundred emails...

[PawPaw]

I do know! Good to see you back on here too….😁

[Gravythe clown]

I would pay paypal if they would just get back to me so I can do so.
PawPaw, I hope I don't lose out on this. It is one I want and MRC don't carry the 500 size UH-1 of any version. you know how I like my 500 Size helies.

That pre-payment is a bank transfer. Not common in the US according to them. And they don’t take credit cards. PP the only option they told me

[PawPaw]

I did the same thing last year with Scaleflying and the prepayment button. Never did get it sorted out so just ditched the order.

[Gravythe clown]

I ordered what appears to be the last 500 size UH-1N kit, I mistakenly picked Prepayment. I thought I would have been directed to a page to add payment information, instead I got an email with bank address. the physical address. I have tried to change payment type with no luck. I keep getting message saying to cancel order to change it. However the item no longer exists on their site, they have deleted the item. I have sent three emails now over the last three days with no response. My order says processing. I hope they respond to me email and help me finish the payment process.

Boy is this depressing seeing as I just bought one.......l almost pulled the trigger on the Vario Roberson R22 but went with Roban, AGAIN🙄

[DCORSAIR]

Well that escalated quickly lol...

I've had it for sale before all this actually, but this time it's ready to fly, last time I was going to part it out and didn't have any luck selling it because it wasn't ready to fly, but not being able to buy certain parts pushed me over the edge and the fact that I want to get into 120mm EDF jets....

[sfcfury]

Going to put my first one up for sale, my black Roban AH-6 little bird , sorry guys I won't ship it, just to much trouble and its huge, but a local pkup here in Ca. would be best, RTF for $1400:open_mouth:

[Captain MoMo]

This is probably a strategy to make Roban do what they want. It makes no sense for them to shoot their only supplier - who else will they go for??

[DCORSAIR]

I'm going to hold off ordering anything Roban right now, might even sell a couple of mine that I don't fly that much, hopefully MRC will benefit from this and get stock in or Roban is about to close the doors or something crazy like that happens and were all stuck with helis with no parts supply.......

[Helikapoter]

I ordered The Grand Canyon EC130 , my next project and maybe the last Roban heli ( for me)

[F106DeltaDart]

Its definitely a major loss to see them go. I can't blame them for being frustrated with Roban though. Parts shipments seem to become increasing harder to come by. I hope Motion can get them back on course. I did see that the 500/600 size fuselages are on a pretty good discount right now. Picked up a 500 size Red Bull BO-105 and highly considering one of their 600 Bell 429s.
