My Posts This: Topic Forum | My fellow Cricket flyers,
Regarding tail booms. First, let me say that I haven't given up on them. At this point, I'm reluctant to specify a date of delivery as I feel my credibility will suffer if I don't get them out on time. I've so far said twice that "they'te comming in a few weeks", only to be again delayed by personal situations. I won't bore you guys with my personal situations, but this summer has been life changing for me. I'm not sick or anything and my family is well, but I have had no time to do ANY modelling. Things are changing, but I'm not "out of the woods" yet, so to speak.
Bottom line is this. I have spend a great deal of time and money getting the tailbooms to the point of where they are now. I have no intention of giving up on them. I have been supplying parts to many of you Cricket flyers, and I thank each and every one of you for it. Being as all my customers (friends) can vouch for the quality of the parts I offer and my commitment to service, I promise, the tailbooms will be nothing short of GMP quality or better. You guys (and the Cricket) deserve no less. It will be a little longer, but I promise to keep you posted. If, God forbid, one of you should need a boom to get flying again, I'll see if I can come up with a used one or something to get you flying until mine are ready. I really don't have original exras to sell, but I will do what I can to get you flying again.
Regarding clutches, I am having no luck at all finding a vendor to manufacture them cost effectively. My last quote, get this, was $90.00. That is, if I make 20 pieces, they'll cost $90.00 per piece to make! Anyone need a $120.00 clutch?! No, I didn't think so ! I do, however, have an idea to modify and repair a broken clutch. I'm working out the bugs, but if one of you breaks your clutch, don't throw it away. Send it to me. I'll experiment with it. If the mod works, I'll return it to you for nothing. Kind of a "freebie" for letting me "experiment" with your broken parts. Thanks Guys, and keep 'em flying. I'll be in touch.
