Banana Hobby Beware! Unethical Return/Warranty Policy, Internet

   Anyone who sells RC airplanes will have the same warranty restriction.  It's not unethical, it's common sense.   RC airplanes crash.  It's almost guarantted to happen in the hands of a novice.  If a retailer refunded for crashed planes, they'd soon be out of business.  If you think this return policy is unreasonable, I suggest you purchase from a retailer that will refund you on a crashed RC airplane (hahaha).

   I can imagine that what you call poorly constructed, others would categorize as poorly flown.

   Chase may have reversed the charges temporarily (standard procedure), but if the retailer shows that they have a policy that does not allow returns of crashed merchandise, you can expect them to reinstate the charge.
