Just to get back to the original issue just so I understand, is this how it works:
1) Place an order, pay deposit.
2) SM makes the jet.
3) Once enough orders and jets are completed, SM will ship them in bulk to Chief.
4) Chief then sends to us via UPS.
If this is correct, for #3 you are estimating on average 9 months? Is it possible to be longer? It seems to me if business is slow that it could be a lot longer I assume.
If business is slower and the Chinese new year is involved, is it safe to assume 1 year?
I'm not bashing anything just making sure I understand for planning.
On another note, was trying to get some mig-29 tires from Dana and it fell through, do you still have them in stock? (Mains).
