"I have purchased a number of products from Nitro Planes over the years, all 120 scale,[P-47D Thunderbolt,P-40 WarHawk,F-4U corsair,Cessna 182 Skylane] and have had great success with them. Before purchasing my planes, I read all the reviews I can find on line and in particular the Building Bashes on the R/C universe web site. I research the Pro's and Con's and analize the builder's problems and suggestions for the model I am interested in. It's true that you have to use "some of your own builder's common sense" when putting these ARF's together because there are occassions when the directions leave something's to question. I have found it a good practice to use a standard formula to set your CG as this is often not correct. The hardware is good but I will often make a judgment call when deciding to upgrade more critical elements. These plane's fly very nicely when set up correctly but you have to use some judgment of your own.I have only crashed one [my P-47D] and that was my fault [Dipped when I should have Doodled and was to low to recover]. When I recovered the plane I was suprised to discover how tough it really is. I was able to rescue and repair the front of the fuse [fiberglassed the damaged section and doctored up the foam core wing with some foam and plywood sheeting]. I actually crashed on some Rock's and everyone at the feild thought the damage would be extensive. Boy! were we all suprised at the quality of the product.Since then a few of the guy's have also bought simular ARF's from Nitro Planes. I have found the customer service to be very good and even when I couldn't reach them by phone, the online chat customer service worked very well [even when I called to cancell a back ordered product]. The Cowl for my P-47D was out of stock but when it was restocked, I got an E-mail and it was on it's way. I rarely take the time to write a product review but after noticeing how some people are quick to "Diss this company" for damaged shippments [usually the fault of the Delivery Company, or somthing missing, which happens occassionaly with all company's, or due to their own error of thinking you can just slap an ARF together and go flying] without the cautious approach of the 6 P's[ Prior Planning Prevent's Piss Poor Proformance], I thought I would put in a good word for the company. True, there was a time when they were not up to parr but somthing has happened in the past few years and they have listened to customer complaints and made many improvements to their products because of it. My R/C budget is even tighter now and I can't afford to throw money away. YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IN LIFE, but in my personel experince, NITRO PLANE's gives you a lot for your $$$. Thanks,Tony Harris. "
"Hey Scott, Unbeleiveable service, one of the best values I have ever purchesed in R/C. The models quality is supurbe and I received it in 24hrs from the time I ordered it. My wife is going to hate you guys!
I dont know how they can sell such qualty for so cheep but dont change anything. I will be buying more planes, helicopters and gliders from NitroPlanes! A. Lewin"
"I've searched for RC aircraft all over the internet for almost a week trying to find the best deal and with all honesty, nitroplanes.com had the best deals. Even after shipping costs their costs were still lower than anyone else's.
What surprised me the most was how fast my product came to my house. I ordered on Saturday (mind you, Thanksgiving weekend) and everything came on Tuesday. I was shocked. That's incredibly fast.
So far, I've had no issues with nitroplanes.com and recommend them to anyone who enjoys RC planes and wants to get the best service with the best deals."
"I've bought 3 planes from Nitromodels and the service has been very good.One plane had a problem with the elev. that could'nt be fixed and they sent me a new plane no questions asked.I will buy from them again................"
"Good product... Good Price... Wish there were more shipping options. Arrived in fairly timely manner! I am happy! Look forward to doing business int he future."

Often in Business we don't take the time to recognize businesses that provide good value and quick service to customers who purchase from their Company. Unlike buying from a store and leaving with an item in hand, purchases via the Internet leave the customer with uncertainty until the purchase finally arrives. Nitro Planes has been outstanding in their selection and quality of products. Shipping has always been extremely fast and most reasonable. Nitro Planes is a valued business, I plan to continue purchasing from them again and again.
