Be on the look out for a guy that sells kits. Fiberglass parts. Don't know if he offers anything in U Control. But he is known on the internet as FrequentFlyier and RcAiire. The name is Don Carlson. And claims his company is in Grandjunction Colorado. Please if you moderators post this it will help our group from getting taken from thus guy.AJ

It’s a long explanation, but this Don Carlson if that’s his real name took $ 950.00 from me back in August of 2022. For a kit that he claimed he made. That included the shipping to my home. He claims he has health issues Heart, Hip replacement and the infection that maybe is in his brain. Any way I lost the money with no recourse but a check he deposited in his account. Now he claims He sent the kit. But I never received it. I have friends in Grandjunction Colorado and they claim he is fine no medical issues. AJ

I will keep, you posted on all the developments on this Don Carlson. Out of Grandjunction Colorado. I posted on the large RC site and the powers to be took it off. They offered to help me get my money back I even posted the canceled Check he deposited. But they took my post off their web site. Another incident occurred with Okie Air in Oklahoma. I ordered a control handle and I got it. Nice handle. I ordered a bias handle and a set of 58’ stainless lines. That was four months ago payed by check, but he never cashed it. And I learned he knew this Don Carlson and had purchased a few kits from him. So he never processed my order. I called Russel several times but he refuses to answer his phone or return my calls. So be it! I've done nothing wrong, but yet I am treated like this, I am really disappointed in Russel I really thought he was a better person! AJ

I was able to find a web site where he was in California and owned a roofing company. Got into a bunch of trouble and moved to Colorado. Left a bunch of guys and never delivered what was ordered. But kept the money. We are talking a bunch of money. Don’t know how this guy is still in business. Spoke with the local law InForce ment county. And they never Hurd of him and I was the first complaint they had on the guy. Crossing borders and serving him would cost thousands. Not really worth the time or effort. Besides I can’t afford it. To recover my $950.00.

Another Developement on this Don Carlson, a flyer from Switzerland ordered a kit in August of 2021. That was a year before I ordered mine in August of 2022. He still has not received what he ordered. He posted me on this website in another blog. Inquiring about my order.AJ
I spoke with a few other victims. And they think he is out sourceing this. Stuff he is selling, and he is a middle man, offering the many parts. It takes a lot of machine equipment to do what he is offering. The hobby shop in Grand Junction never heard of Don and he is not a member of the local RC club. Which he told me he was a member and would like go fly more. He is not a member at least under the name of Don Carlson. I personally feel I will never see what I bought. Just made an expensive mistake!
