Hi Steve,

Thank you for your understanding and new review. I'll leave the old =
(bad) one up, if that is okay with you, as it shows we do not remove =
poor reviews.

Kind regards,

Neil.

Dear Neil

Thank you for getting back to me.
Sorry for getting impatient, it isn=E2=80=99t my usual style, I have =
been contending with quite a few non replies lately in my professional =
life rather than a quick note to say =E2=80=9Csorry very busy will get =
back to you in a week or two=E2=80=9D, so I bit.
Hope your colleague recovers soon and don=E2=80=99t work yourself into =
the ground!

Happy to resubmit a five star review again if my other ones can be =
removed.

No problem, I=E2=80=99ll use the horn and keep the fin attached to the =
pull string. It is clearly the intended method.
I will order the 6v esc, a new carry bag and request some protective =
bags.

Once again apologies for getting grumpy.
Regards
SteveT

Unfortunately my only colleague damaged his knee in a skiing accident in =
January and I have been running HyperFlight on my own for the last three =
months. I work late most nights but still don=E2=80=99t manage to answer =
all the emails.
