It appears that it’s a scam site - I feel bad for anyone entering the hobby who doesn’t know any better if they get ripped off by this place but not for anyone who does know better trying to get a “deal”. Anyone who sells clone kits using copyrighted designs, instructions and header card art without compensating the owners of the IP is kind of a low-life...

That site isn't actually selling anything. But I'm sure they'll take your money.

The plans must be really soft.... From a review: "I am in love! They fit perfectly and are super soft. Great product all around! I will order these again and again!"

 

[Marc_G]

My favorite part is that I can order the plans in small, medium, and large!

But a serious red flag is that they don't offer "rocketeer medium" aka 2XL

I went through some of the other "items for sale" such as "Thomas the Train" (wrong, he's a Tank Engine) ad the reviews were just as "Amazon Review Farm" language based. Is there some way to report sites like this?

I posted about this scam site “selling” models and stuff they do not actually have here on TRF a while back, in the glider forum, I think.

Yep:

This scam site is well known on the RC forums.

It is such an obvious scam that I cannot muster much sympathy for anyone taken in by it.

Ummm,@Angie or @Peartree or @cwbullet , may be a good idea to DEACTIVATE the link on this post? We may be inducing the very traffic we want to prevent!

I restrained myself and didn't click the link, but I thought about it.

 

[tab28682]

I think it is worth posting the link to help folks realize it is a scam.


Traffic is not what they want at that website. They want clueless idiots to try to buy something there. Let’s help people know what is going on.

Agreed . . . PLUS, I wanted to inform those people being "misrepresented" there, that this was happening !

Yeah, and the plans are made of such soft comfy material and available in multiple sizes! ,

Given that the scammer is not actually producing anything, no real theft of intellectual property is taking place.

Given the small size of the rocket glider market, not sure how much damage is actually being done.

This is one of those times I wish I had a friendly hacker available to seek out and really hammer this web site so that it falls right off the internet.

True.

I don't think the site is actually delivering anything. I assume it takes the money and delivers nothing. See all reviews for all product are similar and fake.
