Google Review for Horizon Hobby I'm a 77-year-old Army veteran and passionate RC pilot. On 7/4/25, I purchased the E-flite Night Radian 2.0m BNF Basic motor glider from Horizon Hobby. I'm thrilled with their service and the quality of their products. As someone who once bought the wrong model (PNP instead of BNF), I appreciate how much I've learned and how helpful Horizon Hobby has been along the way.

Having spoken with their phone support (USA based and knowledgeable folks!) it makes up some for the luckluster QC of finished products. Upgrading business review from 2* to 4*. Customer: How is your quality control? Horizon Hobby: What is quality control??

Deceptive shipping policies and practices. They outline shipping options of 4 to 6 days, but their contract with FedEx allows for up to 20 DAYS shipping time - slower than USPS and even a guy on a bicycle. Fedex is not great but they cannot blame FedEx if up to 20 days is the service level Horizon purchased...while then marketing 4 to 6 days shipping in checkout. Beware - Horizon states 4 to 6 days but actually it is 4 to 20 days (or maybe longer?). Horizon lost our business over this deceptive practice.
