I don't know. I thought that they were built by Skyrc?

Might just be 2 authentic suppliers/versions?

I don't know either. It struck me that the counterfeiters might set up their own authenticity system. I'm none the wiser. Anyway, quick update, the B6 charger seems to work well even with the bung button.

Is anybody currently having issues with HK? Either with dispatch times or Paypal payment not showing after being made at checkout? Anything at all.

Most of my orders show on time but I have two currently that are worrying me.

I want to order more but I'm reluctant to until my other stuff arrives.

Cheers

Geoff

Got one order still showing as unpaid after 24hr. Raised a ticket and gave them all the references (order No.; PP trans ID etc). Last time this happend was back in March and it took several days to sort.

I just received my 42" EP Pitts S12 from them.
It was supposed to be double boxed and when it arrived looked like the parcel had been drop kicked in the side. They promise to double box them and didn't.
Upon opening I found the lower wing, canopy and tail are damaged.
Raised a ticket with HK and they want it sent back to Hong Kong.
No way I'm gonna do that as it will be damn near as expensive as just buying a new one so I'm just going to have to suck it up.
Shame there is no other way to resolve this.

On another note, delivery times suck, tracking details are displayed days before the parcel is despatched and they tell you it has left then days later
tell you it left yesterday :shock:

Not too impressed with HK at the moment.

I cannot get LiPo batteries shipped.

I am an American working in Afghanistan and have a home in Thailand. I ordered 2... 3S - 4000Mah 45C. The sipping came from the HK warehouse and I paid for Fed-ex dangerous goods shipping. Hobby King Informed me that my order will cancel because of dangerous goods shipping. :| So, where or how can I get Lipo batteries ship to me, because batteries in Thailand I can not find from my location at work and the batteries I have found just pretty much suck. I only get two weeks home leave and would like to be able to everything at home waiting for me and not having to drive all over the city to mayb try and find decent batteries.

assiatance is appreciated. Thank you
