Honestly no, I hadn't read them. I have read several of their previous ones and, considering their recent lapses of integrity, didn't see much reason for them to change. Quite the opposite in fact.
So, since I hadn't been back to RCU in awhile, I decided to give it a shot. Couldn't read their forums but was finally able to get the magazine to load after almost 45 seconds (and I'm on a T1, 6-7 times faster than a cable modem mind you). I did read a few of them and let's just say they most of their sentences end in an exclamation point.. I'm SURE they are being objective...
The only product in the review that I had any experience with was the
Funtana. While it is a nice plane, he missed several of the major problems with this plane that most others have brought out in real reviews. For example, their is no mention of loose fitting wing dowels that just about everyone else has reported.
Why do I care? I find it objectionable that this site continues to portray itself as a site BY and FOR modelers which is an outragous lie.
People sucked into going there or, even worse, giving them money might as well answer that Nigerian man in their spam email.
Truth is their are other sites run by honest people that are rapidly growing into wonderful communities of very knowledgable RC'ers. Most of these people helped make RCU great and left because of their shady deals and lies. Visit and contribute to them. Let's take back our community.
What other sites am I talking about? Here is a list of a few of the places most of the more experienced people have gone to;
