Inspections or Repairs

(RMA). Pack the Product securely using a shipping carton. Please note that original boxes may be

via a carrier that provides tracking and insurance for lost or damaged parcels, as Horizon is not 

responsible for merchandise until it arrives and is accepted at our facility. A Service Repair Request is 

available at www.horizonhobby.com on the “Support” tab. If you do not have internet access, please 

include a letter with your complete name, street address, email address and phone number where 

you can be reached during business days, your RMA number, a list of the included items, method of 

payment for any non-warranty expenses and a brief summary of the problem. Your original sales 

receipt must also be included for warranty consideration. Be sure your name, address, and RMA 

number are clearly written on the outside of the shipping carton.

purchase cost. By submitting the item for repair you are agreeing to payment of the repair without 

notification. Repair estimates are available upon request. You must include this request with your
