It's been more than a year since I've ordered Fusion parts from Option Hobby. Does anyone know if they are still safe to order from? Any current transactions?

Thanks

I remember a more recent post with someone trying to order from them and the paypal account was closed.

I sent them an email last night, asked if they were still in business and said I would place an order if a positive response. It's only been 12 hours but I'm not too hopeful. In the last two weekends I've had a crash and a separate mechanical failure (landed it after losing a blade grip arm ball but hard enough plop to break front tail gears) so my parts stash has taken quite a hit. It sucks they are gone because they had a lot of F50 parts.

Sent them two an email about 4 weeks ago concerning the paypall error at check out, still haven't heard from them. I think you can forget that option.

Thanks guys, you all confirmed what I was afraid of. No more orders from me then.
I will keep looking around.

Yep, no response from my email to them. Too bad

Has anyone ordered from flying-hobby?

Flying Hobby is a good shop and they ship orders fast.
Ordered multiple times from them.
