No response from Evolution

[RJVan]

Anyone able to get up with Evolution? I placed an order 2 weeks ago and it still says "processing". I've emailed many times with no response. Anyone else having issues?

Thanks

Not personally, but I know of two gents in the same boat as you.

Not good!!

[RJVan]

Glad I used PayPal. I'll just have to cancel the payment if I don't hear back soon.

All I can say from a dealers point of view is I really miss Ready Heli as they where great to deal with as a distributor. Anyone that needs original AleeS parts I have lots that are all ready to ship here in good old North America.

Dennis is D man.

[RJVan]

Well, I put in a dispute with Paypal. We'll see if that gets me anywhere. Not sure what else I can do at this point.

All those people that told everyone to "just keep flying" and everything will be fine.

When stuff like this happens, it doesn't bode well for the future at all. Cut your losses and move on, if you can find anyone that actually wants an Alees at this point.

Well I am still flying, everything is just fine. In fact I really enjoy this machine and its aesthetics!!

Till you need parts.

I moved on to avant. USA owned, USA made. Parts are no issue, have a problem you call the owner. You can't beat it.

I can't sell my rush for 200 bucks. Literally. That means basically no one wants them. The few people still flying them are going to find that evolution helis isn't selling kits, or parts, so they aren't making any money. They won't support a dying air frame for too long. Just my opinion.

[crashcopterman]

I agree it's a definite possibility, I'm not naive, but for now we fly and worry about things when we need parts. I will not purchase a Mostro because of A: no Canadian dealers B: reading your extremely lengthy list of problems on your build really turn me off.

Just my opinion.

Nothing wrong with that.

I'm one of those guy's that will "just keep flying". I liked the heli when I bought it and still do. When I can't find parts anymore, I will just move on. No biggy.

I also not worried about " cutting my losses". Helicopters are not exactly a good investment. If they were I would be retired by now.

That said, I'm pretty sure Evolution dropped the ball in this rollout, and probably won't recover. Too much damage control.

[Dennis P]

Going to keep flying mine also, what losses are there to cut? Mine fly's great as well as all the others that are flying. I could possibly put hundreds of flights on it before I need another part and the fact that myself and others have a very good stock of parts on hand for those flying I see no reason to stop flying the great heli . Selling it is a big loss period ,but flying it is pure enjoyment . The choice is yours

[RJVan]

Well, I put in a dispute with PayPal and now it looks like my order finally got shipped. We'll see if it's right when it gets here, but at least it's made a little progress. lol

Thanks

It's a shame it had to come to that, hopefully this is a wake up call and they get their asses in gear!!

Well, Perhaps I'm the lucky one. I ordered few parts from Evolution. I did not call or email them. Because I know how the Orientals work in Client Services. "Zero"
My order was on April 20 and I got an email that my order was in processing a day later, I did not hear from Evolution, until this Thursday, got an email that the items were shipped. I did get the parts this morning. I could not believe that took two day to get to California.
I have had few helicopters (Robbe Cuatro, TDR) that I had to order parts and yes there is waiting time, but you need to have few helicopters in order to wait for the parts.
If you have just one heli or the Evolutions is going to be the heli that you want to fly three or four days a week, this heli is not for you.
And So far no complains from me. If I have a complaint is from Alees USA. They sold a helicopter that they knew that they weren't going to support in USA.
Just my two cents.

I wanted to get the MOstro as well, but the parts issue and no reply from the distributor have put me off.

Don't. They are slowly becoming worse than Alees.

If you meant Evolution, it looks like things have finally come about, lots of parts in stock and they seem to be shipping fairly quickly. As well, they have been getting dealers back in place.

As far as Mostro goes, hopefully that doesn't end badly, too bad there is zero communication from them.

I was referring to Avant. Until we hear *something* from *someone* I wouldn't advise anyone buying a mostro.
