The hubs should be arriving tommorow. I'll take a picture while I inspect all the hubs.

While preparing the shipping labels I found out that in addition to the shipping address I also need your phone number. Can you all please reply back with your phone number via Private Message. Do not post your phone number on this public message thread (where EVERYONE can see). Please do it in a Private Message.

I'll get back to each one of you very soon with your balance due (with actual shipping charges).

BTW... No hubs yet. They should be arriving today. I plan to individually inspect and package them over the weekend. Hopefully I can get them shipped out early next week.

Thanks,
Josh

Status: offline 		I had to act calm and cool while picking up the package from the condo security guard. What I really felt was like an overly excited child on Christmas morning dying to tear into the big present.

Anyways... Here they are, fresh from the paper packaging they were wrapped in and neatly placed back in the "nest" for the picture. Don't they look cool all shiney and new? The slightly dirty one on the bottom is my prototype.

I still haven't inspected them yet. I'll do a thorough quality control check on them tonight.

Josh

Status: offline 		I inspected the hubs and they are all good. The fit problems I had with the prototype have been fixed in the production run. Thank goodness.

Next...

I recently found a place where I can get free boxes suitable for shipping. With the actual box dimensions and weight, I can get the actual shipping costs. Also, a few weeks ago after receiving your deposits, PayPal started charging me 2.9%+$0.30 of the transaction amount to receive the money. That sucks. If I was making a profit from this project I would just eat that cost. I really hate to increase the costs of an already expensive hub, but I have to add this to the bill. I hope you understand.

To all that have ordered a hub... I sent you PayPal Money Request (if I have your e-mail address) or a Private Message (if I don't have your e-mail address).

If you ordered a hub and didn't get a PayPal Money Request or Private Message yet... my apologies. Just send me a Private Message and we'll get everything straightened out.

If you haven't ordered a hub and want one... I have a few left over. Send me a PM.

Any questions, errors, or concerns... please let me know.

Thanks,
Josh

Status: offline 		Update...

I had the first two packages ready to ship (pic #1). As I was double checking the fit of the third, I noticed something. In fear of putting scratches on a the shiney new aluminum hubs, I didn't screw in any of the 12 bolts really tight. This time I did and noticed that the tapped holes in the rear hub half are not deep enough. They are too shallow by about 1/32".

The fix is easy... it just requires 2 turns of a 6-32 tap bit. The problem is that I have to do it over 150 times. No problem actually.

I'll try to get as many as possible fixed and shipped by friday afternoon. I'm very VERY sorry, but the rest will have to be fixed and shipped next week. This weekend I'm driving down to an airshow in Geneseo, NY. They have a "mini-gathering of P-40's" among other warbirds. I can't miss that.

Also, I'm still waiting for payments for a few more people. If you haven't paid yet, please check your PM and you e-mail.

Josh

Status: offline 		Better to get all the bugs worked before you ship the hubs than have a bunch of ppl complaining to you. Ya I know the waiting is tedious but in the end a few days worth of waiting will be worth it at the field.

Status: offline 		Got my hub today from UPS. Thanks Juice. Just had a chance for quick once over. Package comes with full instructions and pics. Very helpful. The added Hamilton Sundstrand decals was a nice touch. Just follow the instructions to the letter and you will be fine setting your hub and blades to the correct pitch. Now i just have to get the Corsair done.
