    Fine Design RC

    I purchased a H&M hull, decals and spoiler. He said everything was in stock. 2 weeks later and several emails and phone calls I found out the hull just shipped. First of all don't **** me around and say it shipped if it didn't. Then it came incomplete. He said the spoiler and decals were back ordered from Germany. Here we are 7 weeks later and the guy won't answer phone calls or emails so I filed a paypal claim. NEVER do business with this clown.

    Hello Steven Arce,

    Your Significantly Not as Described dispute for the payment you sent to
    Fine Design R/C on Dec 29, 2011 (Transaction 9LDXXXXXX1804V) is now open.

    We notified Fine Design R/C of your request for a $72.95 USD refund. If
    Fine Design R/C agrees to this refund, the dispute will be closed once the
    refund is processed.

    By opening a dispute, you are communicating with the seller, not PayPal,
    about this problem transaction. We will email you when your seller posts a
    response in the Resolution Center.

    To learn more about PayPal's dispute resolution process, log in to your
    account and click the 'Tutorials' link on the Resolution Center tab.

    -----------------------------------
    Deadline: Feb 23, 2012
    -----------------------------------

    On Feb 23, 2012, this dispute will automatically close unless you escalate
    it to a PayPal claim. By escalating to a claim, you would be asking PayPal
    to review the case and decide the outcome.

    We will remind you by email when the deadline is approaching. A closed
    dispute cannot be reopened or escalated to a PayPal claim.

    Thank you,

    PayPal

        You're right Jim. I should have searched first. But I'm new to this and assumed he was reputable. Just like the member who got me for $30.00 on those parallel connectors. I would think that if moderators (or whoever is in charge) new a member was a crook they'd ban him. So I'm out $30.00 and a lesson learned. Makes one skeptical of buying from the Swap section again. Hey it could have been worse. Could have been $31.00.

          Up until the last couple of transactions the connectors were working out fine for people. I would not give up on him yet. As soon as there was a potential problem we were working on it. but bear in mind I have a life also and work for a living and the moderators can not sit here 24/7 and stare at the forum plus we are all volunteers

            Trust me, I understand. And I appreciate what you all do. It takes a certain kinda person to volunteer. But somehow he was overlooked. Unfortunately someone got burned. And that person was me. Twice. By 2 different people. So bare with me while I vent. He said he sent them over a week ago. And for the past couple days won't respond with an email. So understandably I'm pissed. Have a good night and thanks for your service. I do appreciate it.

              Sorry to hear you got burnt from Fine. There is a thread about him here if you haven't seen it.

                The connector issue is a new one with pyromike. We have been working on getting him to resolve the issues. Banning him at this point would cut off communications and the result would surely be that you wouldnt receive anything.

                  Good point. Just a little upset last night. Maybe this is an item you could sell. I'm sure its an item that's needed?

                    I thought about it, but he was selling them and there wasn't a problem up until a couple of weeks ago.

                      Don't give up on us. This is a great Hobby and Most of the time the guys on this forum are very honest. As time goes on you get to know the guys very well.
                      Have met Steve and a whole bunch of the guys personally. Great guys! Vent a bit and then move on. Life is too short!

                        I ain't even gonna start on Mr Fine.....
                        I don't know what happened to Mike. He was helping me with my Delta Force CS and I haven't heard from him in weeks. He was doing a good job on them connectors too. I make the parallel connectors for people in the UK but I could sell them worldwide too.

                        At the moment I am doing just 5.5mm, but if other connectors are needed I can get anyone a price. I use Novak Silver solder, a Silver rod through the middle of the connectors for better flow of current (hardly any resistance), a 80watt Soldering Iron and a blow torch. I then heatshrink the female connectors and wrap the whole thing in electrical tape.

                          After all the frustration I made my own last night as well. Used 1/8' copper rod. Not pretty but they'll do. Gonna clean them up a bit with a file and heatshrink. Had I known of this forum prior to dealing with Fine I wouldn't be in this situation. And my bad for thinking a member of this forum was an honest guy. Live, learn and move on. He obviously needed my money more than I did. Hopefully OSE starts carrying these so I won't curse over a soldering iron anymore.
