Thanks for the advise. I know that I come off pretty harsh on words but I also have a very bad temper, and words don't describe it at all. I have calmed down a few notches and have been very good for the past decade! It has been such a long time since I ever gotten this angry at someone. And as a Military Police officer I do understand the repercussion through the use of words on the intent of doing any harm to another. I understand what you are saying and, I am just very upset and angry I had to let it out and letting it out through words helped me calm down. Like I said, I will be the better man and walk away for my families sake.

If you look at it a few Hundreds of dollars down the drain via crash, or someone scamming you out of a heli, it just boils down to money spent and wasted. I am not a rich guy and don't have the money to just go out and buy whatever heli that I want, but can buy a heli down the line. It is just the concept of how I lost out on my heli. I rather had crashed the darn thing. LOL!

What really sucks is this scammer has to burn someone who is putting HIS life on the line so WE can live in a FREE counrty. Disrespecting the service men and women is really low. Like I said, A P.O.S.

Hey Mike,

Sorry to hear you are going through some crappy deal. Chelu, I hope everything turns out good on your end. I would suggest just bombarding the guy's emails and PM post. I, too understand that "things" happen in life but the guy has to man up.

Esta later.....Ray

Thanks Ray

Yeah I really hope things can get rectified in the most decent manner, and I am hoping for a quick resolve on his side. Tell all the Guam aeromodelers that I said Hafa Adai and one day I will be back flying with you all. Take care and be safe.

mike this is frank in deridder. the guy that bought the puma 3d from you whats up? i just wanted to chime in here on a simular situation i had a few years back when i did a pretty big trade with a member on rcu. i shipped first after talking with him a few times on the phone (found out later it was a "throw away" celphone) then waited waited and waited with no comunication at all from the piece of crap. so then i started doing more research on him and found out he had done the same trade with a few other members. so then i got as much info from them as i could (im mad as hell by this time) and his ass is mine. i ended up getting his real work number, home number and address in indiana. long story short i called him just to let him know the police are on there way to take him for a little ride. he ended getting like 3 years then when he got out i got a nice little restitution payment in the mail in witch i just had to buy the new rex 500 that came out. lol.. so anyway man get as much info as you can on him (as this is a felony crime) try contacting his local police with the info and also the FBI internet fraud division. good luck to you man.

this go,s for any of you guys dont stop til you get them

always remember these words what goes up will always come down

Hey Frank!

Frank it's been a long time! Thanks for the info and trust me I am collecting all the info on this guy. I already have tons of information on him already. Hey once I get a heli again what you say if we get together and do some flying? I will let you know.

Still no response!

I have e-mailed, text, PMed, called and still no answer from Chad Dingman. I sent him all these messages on Monday that he has until Friday to respond and it is now Friday and like I expected nothing.

Chad I really hope you enjoy my heli! Don't forget to break-in the engine properly. If you have any issues give me a call, I maybe able to help you. Also let me know what else you want for free?

Worst Fears Confirmed!

Now I know for sure that I got scammed! Chad Dingman's Cell phone number is now no longer in service.

I don't care what anyone says here on RR now. I just lost out on over $1350.00!

You picked the wrong guy!

Best Regards

I know how you feel, but I do not know what makes you feel he is trustworthy at the first place because he has no feedback at all. So a very BIG lesson learned here ... to be cautious when dealing with someone with no feedback.

I hope Heliproz can help you recover the loss. $1350 is a big money.

Trust was made during all phone conversations!

Well to start off Chad and I both don't have any feedback on RR. I have been on RR since 2008 and never really did anything but sign up back then. I do most of my trading and selling on RCU. Anyhow I have been engaged in conversations with Chad for awhile prior to the trade. He is 31yrs old and boy did he full me. Well long story short I had given him the chance and the chance I took cost me a bird! How is anyone gonna start if we all start with no feedback to begin with. My good rating and feedback on RCU all started the same way, someone trusting me to do the right thing. The only difference is that I did what I was suppose to do and THAT's the only difference.

I have had nothing but good trades and sales on RCU then I tried my first trade on RR for the first time ever and get screwed. Wow! This really sucks.

You know! I will just buy me my brand new T-Rex 700E post videos of me flying and having a blast! Screw this guy Chad Dingman! He will not ruin my love of this hobby really we have more good people than we have bad on RR and RCU.

Lessons learned! And for now on I will stick to just straight up buying and selling. If you want trades you will have to send out first! I am a man of my word, so rest assure that should you deal with me on a trade I will deliver what I say.

Contact was made!

Fellow Runryder members hey I just wanted to thank you all for helping me reach out regarding my issue with one of the HeliProz Team Pilots reflected here on this post. I would also like to ensure that this Pilot's name be reinstated in good faith " Chad Dingman" within the Runryder family. Chad Dingman has made contact with me and we both are in complete agreement with one another regarding the trade here on RR. So don't trash talk Chad as he did have issues that prevented him from contacting me until now. I will also be updating HF websites to ensure everyone in the RC community understands that the issue will be rectified and Chad Dingman should be able to continue daily business without any repercussions. I guess that I had jumped the gun way too quick, however with that said everyone in my situation would have done the same. If you have been following my post from the start, I came off strong in words and such towards Chad, I retract everything I had ever said about the man. Now we both are in a complete understanding however the trade is still not completed, and have yet received my share of the trade. So I will post updates until this trade is closed!
