Well just so you folks know, I got a motor from mike! It was suppose to be a low time engine, less than a tank according to mike’s add on RR. This is the post from 2 months ago when I paid him: OS 91 SX-H Brand new $145. Brand New OS 91 SX-H with less than 1 tank on it! I bought 2 of these motors and only need one so my loss is your gain!
What I got was a worn-out POS! I have a used 32 with more compression. This is a very high time engine. Once more he claims it’s not his fault! He told me he never once looked at it and did not know its true condition. He said the guy he got it from must have sold it to him this way. I’m done chasing him down! He knows how to contact me. If he what to make things right like he is always claiming than the ball is in his court.

I for one will never purchase another gallon of Magnum fuel or any Duralite products as long as MHF is a rep. I'm sure Mike is nice guy but his reputation as a seller is in the crapper and if I were a manufacturer, this is not the type of rep I would want.

Hey Johnny, don't let this guy keep you from using a great product! I'm sure Jack Price and Buzz, once they get wind of this, will do re-evaluate this guys value to these companies. I'm sure that it shouldn't take long for them to get the word, with DH, Clint and company who speak with him rather regularly. Keep flying what you like! Miss you SAV boy's! Take care.

Bart I'm home sick! I see you boy's hitting the road and I am jealous as hell, aside from my blood relations you guys are my family!! I feel like I am on the moon right now looking down. THe guys are headed to MO, man I would love to be a part of that! Have a safe trip everyone! Whats funny about my situation is I have been doing alot of flying until the dude (Kenny T) I fly with put one in this weekend (servo failure), because he is my transpo, I am on hold for him to fix his ish! Its kinda like me crashing without the expense or the emotional turmoil associated with it!
Bart you have me totally off the forum topic! You guys take care....\

call magnum and duralite and give them the low down and a chance to change before dumping them. see what they think of mike's actions

Jesse !!! Miss you too man. The flying is getting good here and I wish you could be a part of it ! It just isnt the same without you.
I think you guys get my point though. Both are great products and I'll be sure to mention this to Clintsone (The Duralite King !)

I have taken everything into consideration and sincerely apologize for the transactions with the 2 parties involved. If there is anything I can do beyond the refunds please let me know.
I understand that this is a very small community of great guys and great friends. I plan on being here for a very long time and wish to be embrassed by all.
Again, I thank you all for sharing you thoughts and or comments and sincerley apologize.
Sincerely,
Mike Fortin

Mike probly thought he could get something for nothing.
That is not the case, I take my field rep status very seriously. I am not in this for getting things for free, I am in this to further the hobby and bring great products to great people.

Mike, IMO your actions and transactions directly affect the way people see you AND the products you rep.
One lost customer may not "hurt" a company but it sure as hell doesn't help. I for one WILL call Buzz and Jack tomorrow to let them know about this thread. They can make their own conclusions.
It is a shame that people choose to do business this way and rip people off. That may not be the case here, put it sure seems like you do a lot of deals where the buyer is not very happy.
It is also your responsibility to be a man and deliver the goods in a timely manner. Like one week tops. I would not be nearly as patient as these guys have been. Hell I like going to FL.
Just my opinion.

Mike did pay what was owed to me. He stated he was sorry.
