10 Years ago I showed up at his shop unannounced and he spent at least 45 minutes with me walking me around, showing me the technology, and advising me on getting started with DF jets. As a result I purchased a Maverick. I cannot express how welcomed I felt, even though it was evident that I was a rookie who needed serious advice. I got it, from the master. This hobby should have more suppliers who take pride in their work like Bob Violett does!.
