I bought a hobbyking skysword off this site because their youtube videos were captivating and pretty much sold me. I must admit I was regretfully hasty. I've been in the hobby industry for 8 yeats now and really know my stuff so take it from me when you read this. NEVER BUY OFF HOBBYKING!! I recieved my skysword along with 2 6s lipo batteries. I was really excited to get it up in the air. I assembled it. Assigned the channels on my sanwa sd10g transmitter and powered it up. Immediately 3 servos failed. 1 of the elevator servos was stripped indicating that it was a plastic gear servo. Now who would make a high performance 6s jet using plastic gear servos let alone poor quality servos??!!. I also noticed that the servos were warped indicating that they were of very poor quality. I went to put in a claim through hobbyking and it required photos to proceed with the claim. Problem is the pics had to be under 2mb. What the f--k?!! A pic that takes 2mb of data is around 2 mega pixels. I have nothing that is that poor in image quality so I escolated a claim through paypal. Hobbking agreed to give give a refund if I sent the plane and lipos to their head office in Hong Kong within 5 days of this email!!! For starters it is illegal to send lipos via air mail and the box was over 105cm so it would cost me a fortune in ocean shipping which would never make it to Hong Kong in 5 days!! On top of that. It's illegal to send lipos overseas!! Now the warehouse it was sent from is 28 Shelley Rd Moruya NSW. Obviously these bloody crooks do their best to make it very hard
for you to exercise your rights as a consumer. I must admit. I shouldn't of headed the warnings people gave me about these dodgey douchebags. NEVER EVER AGAIN. NEVER EVER EVER BUY FROM THESE GRONKS!!! God knows i never will again. Btw. The owner is Australian. I hope he goes bankrupt soon and i think he will.
