Flite Metal has a new phone number, the number on the buyaero website works, the number on the flitemetal website has been disconnected.
so ... I was able to get ahold of them, they have had pipeline issues, My order should ship end of this week... fingers crossed.
Thanks for everyone that replied so far and kept it civil. I was worried when I posted this that this could easily turn into a "bash" thread, and I didn't want that, just wanted to gain some more information.
