A track record of not having parts???
The only Century heli I have ever had, that had a few waits (and minor ones at that) for parts I had ordered, was for my big Predator. But never for the much more common ones like the Swifts, or Hawk, or Raven or now the 50NX.
By the same token, I have had more parts shortage issues and know of parts shortages issues for most any of the other brands larger helis - MinAir Spectra G & Fury, JR Ergo's and Vibes, Hirobo Evo 90's, Sylphide N9, Rappy 90, to name a few. Yet I would not go into any of their forums thinking they had a "track record" of not having some parts.
I have found, over the years, that all manufacturers have such issues, at times, speially with their larger helis (60/90 and gas).
Heck, I can even remember a whle back, when I could not get a tail boom and a set of blades for a Rappy 30, for over a month. And that is a far more common heli for T/T then the Rappy 90!
I have always wondered how other manufactures can consistantly be out of parts, and it is no big deal. But if Century is briefly out of something, it becomes a "track record".
Our LHS told me that, over the 10 years or so that he has been selling Century products, they have proven to be one of the suppliers that always has the best fill % on their orders. |
