    Hey there John, sorry to hear about your issues with Lehmann. I've recently purchased the LA-300 and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I've read that it is the best UAV for its range price, and this is the first time I come up with a fraud complaing regarding this company. I wanted to know what issues you had with your Lehmann, since I'm from Argentina and solving a commercial problem overseas is likely to be impossible...

    I expect to work on precision agriculture with the LA-300... has anyone had any experience taking pictures with a NIR camera attached to any of the Lehmann products? Thank you all for your time!

    Hi Everyone,

    I am still in communication with Lehmann Aviation and my continual pressure (into my 3rd year) and postings on the internet have bore some fruit.  Lehmann Aviation and I have come to an agreement to refund 50% of my purchase price and I keep the systems.  Not much point to keeping the systems as they do not work but 50% refund is better than nothing.  Perhaps I can give them to my kids to play with as the plane itself flies beautifully.  It just cannot be used for taking aerial photography for surveying or mapping as claimed.  To date he has been making small payments to me every other week or so until the 50% is met.  I will keep the blog updated as to the progress of the refund and the promises made to me once again.  If the refund is not made in due time or the refund is complete I will make a post to the fact to either restore Lehmann's credibility or to point out that his past transgressions are still alive and thriving.

    Cheers everyone, wish me luck.

    Thanks gents for the heads-up on Lehmann Aviation!

    I almost stepped into the same snare, but luckily I did a internet and DIY search on Lehmann Aviation and came across your posts - I will tread lightly now!

    But are there other guys out there how had some good experiences regarding their Lehmann Aviation UAVs...?

    Hi John Rankin. So bad to see your post so later. Lehmann Aviation is really a liar company. We paid them for two UAV systems but Benjamin disappeared after take the money. Do not answer the call and ignore the email. What a fraud! We are planning take legal action on him. If possible, please also provide us some evidences on his cheat.

    Hi Sgt Ric,  Thanks for the support.  All Lehmann Aviation has to do is supply me with what was promised and I will overlook the last 2 years of frustration.  This is the first of many posts I will be making across the internet until my issue is recognized by Lehmann.

    If a company can't work to keep their installed customer base even semi-satisfied, then why try to attract more?

    Or course there will always be exceptions and problem cases that slip through the cracks, but no paying customer should ever be ignored

    Hi Everyone,

    I want everyone to know that Benjamin Lehmann of Lehmann Aviation is a fraud and a liar.  I paid him close to $16,000 for two LP960 systems almost 2 years ago and he has never supplied me with a working system.  I have over 100 email of correspondence with promises from Benjamin Lehmann to fix the myriad of problems and he never has.  Now when I contact him demanding a working system he simply ignores me.  If anyone wants to read the hundred or so email contact me and I will forward all email correspondence to you.  BEWARE OF LEHMANN AVIATION you will be left with less money and no product.  My planes and equipment are paperweights as they are useless.

    I don't want to disappoint you all, I'm not sure the Land Rover is included... possibly an accessory to the uav.
