Before this "he said - he said" gets too far off center line, I (Jet Central USA/Eric Clapp) placed the order in good faith with RCI prior to receiving funds from my customer. . .normal as i totally trust his word. I received the invoice from Jeff (no longer with RCI) which I sent my company check attached and returned to RCI. By bank records, my check was deposited and cleared on the 14th of October. I however was told the order had already been placed.
During the days preceding the cashing of my payment in full check to RCI, repeat discussions were held with Jeff regarding the delivery date as well as the personal request of Mike regarding the elimination of all graphics on the Coors Silver Bullet paint scheme. After Jeff's departure, I could find nothing in the way of information from RCI about this order. At that point, I commenced email communication with John and Anton. The latest being "it (BD-5)" would come out of paint and be shipped prior to the Chinese New Year. I forwarded all communication to my customer to keep him informed. However, we are still far past the 8 week delivery date i received from Jeff while employed by RCI. while this is a frustrating issue, it is not new. We have seen time and time again, repeat reports of delays with Skymaster. . .while not good, I honestly feel it can be attributed to the quality kit Anton produces and the orders from around the world he receives. In closing, I ordered two 2M Vipers which arrived long overdue. Was the wait worth it. . .absolutely as this jet is by far the best flying model I have had the privelage of owning/flying.

Happy new year to all. . .

Eric
