Misceleanous / Opinion please

« on: January 20, 2017, 22:43:27 PM »

Hi all
I'm looking for some feedback, an opinion or from the correct retail standards point of view.

I have been in contact with a uk retailer who stocked a particular model plane I've always liked and there was also a dealer in Germany who also stocked the same model.

The price including delivery from Germany was ?338.00

I contacted the reatailer in the Uk who informed me he "thinks" the kit was ?221.00 (sterling).

He contacted the supplier for me for a correct price and shipping costs to Ireland
Which he confirmed the kit was ?221.00 plus ?70.00 delivery a total of ?291.00 or ?344.00 euros.

Emails confirm the two times that the price of ?221.00 quoted.

As I'm from over there! I thought I would support a uk bassed shop and place my order. Payment with visa debit card.
Today he called me...
Good news the plane is on the way but I priced the model incorrectly and it's another ?100.00 sterling
I have explained that if I would have known this I would have never ordered from him and gone to The German retailer.
He has admitted over the phone it's his mistake.

But I find the idea of now having to pay him ?100 extra a little smart for his mistake.

I realise we all make mistakes, or this is a bit of a scam he may be pulling.

Thoughts please.

Slope Soaring / Aerobatic slope soarer wanted

« on: October 24, 2015, 21:40:43 PM »

Hello all
Rob here who has been playing with Keith and my "new"/second or more hand AR1..
Basically I know not a lot about slope soaring but after having fun today I fancy something aerobatic to keep me occupied on the slope as the AR1 doesn't seem to want to roll or loop even.
As I have little free time a kit is out of the question so it must be an ARTF which I guess if possible can handle a good breeze as we have here!
Looking on the Internet has shown.  A couple of options one is the Hacker Vagabond but I'm not sure if that could handle the wind?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Rob
