Thanks Evil and Paul.
Evil, Im glad he will talk to you. Ive had it up to my eyebrows about how Jack has a fulltime job, new child, bla,bla,bla... Im not slamming or jumping on you Evil Merlin so please dont take offense to my venting. Just so all will know,I made a deal with over Jack 3 YEARS AGO for him to build me one of his corsairs in exchange for some eyeglasses. I sent Jack ( now keep in mind ALL this equipment is BRAND NEW!) a supertigre 90 2 stroke, a new complete Hitec flight pack, Bisson pitts muffler, fuel tank, a set of Rhom 90 degree rotating retracts which Jack said that he couldnt get into the wing to work correctly, so I then purchased a set of Lee Robinsons Robinaire 90 degree rotating retracts for $300 in which Lee was kind enough to send directly to Devine, as well as some other misc equipment. I even paid Devine $200 for him to paint the plane and I also told him it was fine for him to test fly it for me. "No problem" he said. Jack told me by email that I would have my plane in time for Christmas under the Christmas tree, I guess I just wasnt sure which Christmas this was going to be ,huh?
Oh Paul, seems like he once sent me some pictures too of a corsair that was framed up stating it was my plane and "it just needed a little more work on it", or something like that. Paul, your deal with Devine sounds very similar to mine doesnt it? Hummmmm......... makes one wonder, doesnt it?
So, after NUMEROUS phone calls to his residence, emails, and pm's , he will not respond or return my calls, emails,or pm's. In my opinion,this is not the way to treat people at all.
SHAME ON YOU JACK DEVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think its finally time for me to let people know whats going on with my situation .There have been several that knew about this, but I did it offline as not to offend anybody. Enough of that worrying about how Im going to hurt or offend other parties involved!!
Ive even had a friend of mine who owns another online scale building sight talk to Devine on my behalf to try to find out whats going on with my stuff. No luck with that either!
At this point and I have emailed Devine about this many times; I just want all my equipment back that Ive sent him as well as my money I paid ( yeah right! )
I have no other other choice now but to persue the legal channels to reclaim my stuff. Thats right, get attorneys and possibly the police involved . Its a damn shame that people will do this to others in this great hobby that I love and enjoy.
So I guess I am going to be forced to show my ugly side since I cannot get any response from Devine.
Again, I dont want to hear how he's busy, a teacher, has an ingrown toenail, his house needs painting,its raining , global warminig, or stuff like that. I took that advice for well over a year and it got me NOWHERE!! Its all about the money now! I work too hard for what I get to have someone try and pull this crap.
Moderators: if you will allow it, please let this thread stand as I just want people to know what they dont always know about others that they may deal withso they can be warned from here on out.
Anyone else out there with less than ideal dealings with the other party?
Should anyone have any questions about my deal, feel free to pm me.

especially when you consider what a "household" name Jack has in the Warbird community; heck maybe even the RC community in general.
