I go to Century's website, click on "buy now" and it throws me to a page with 8 dealers listed.
I call tower hobbies and they don't stock the muffler and won't get it, even though they are listed as a dealer.
I go to Rick's page and it says out of stock.
I go to Helihobby and Esprit models I can't find it listed anywhere.
I call Dee Tee Enterprises and he is surprised as he doesn't stock their stuff, and he needs to order 10K of stuff to get something, can't special order the muffler for me. Say's I'm the third person to go to his site looking for century stuff, and he's confused why they are sending people to him. Suggests I call Century back.
I call Grand RC and they don't carry that item and they don't do a special order, asked me to contact Century directly.
I call Helicopter World, they say they have 2 in stock. GREAT. I tried to order it with free shipping as advertised over $75 and they said I need to place the order on the internet. After spending 10 minutes on the phone and giving all my info and them checking availability, they tell me to hang up and order online. I go to order online, click on it and it says OUT OF STOCK. I call back and they say they have 2 in stock, they will fix the internet webpage for me so I can order it. I saw OK I'll wait 10 minutes and try again. 10 minutes later they call me and say they are out of stock, after 2 different people told me they had 2 in stock. WTF? They claim other people ordered before and they are shipping out, not sure WHEN they are going to have any more in stock. The hunt continues...
Last chance I call Warwick's to see if they have it or can order it, and they say "is this for a car?" no, a helicopter, and they transfer me and I get disconnected. Call back, transfer to the right department (airplanes vs cars) and at least this guy is going to research it and call me back.
Meanwhile, I just wanted to post this and ask you guys where do you get it from, or perhaps one of you may have one thet want to sell?
Thanks guys,
