It unfortunate that this even had to come to the forum. Hopefully it's a lesson learned for CA, and they can move forward and keep producing good viable pattern planes for us and realize customer service is top priority, because good customer service sells things.

People do make mistakes in life. Whether or not it's a mistake for CA or not is not my business really. They make their own business decisions. But Marcelo made it right by refunding the money so that's a huge step in the right direction. No need to boycott CA. That's silliness. He made the situation right so forgive and move on IMO (I didn't say forget, just forgive). There aren't plenty of companies providing planes IMO. We need CA around just like any other manufacturer. Running them out of business does none of us any good. Sure, it's ok to put them in check for a situation like this. Not saying it's not.

As for Chip, glad you got a good job, and hopefully you can continue on with your amazing paint skills. There are a lot of CA planes all over the place. I can say that your involvement with CA has hugely increased their sales, and put a lot of their products out there in the lime light. Sad to see that end. I'm sure their bank account will miss you!
