I am also trying to contact Bob. Over 13 months ago, I gave him a down payment of over $600 for a Tiger 1, and I believe he said he would be working on it by November. The date kept getting pushed back for various reasons (hurting his hand, etc). The last e-mail I had from him was June 3rd, where he said that the metal elevation arms he uses had a bad batch come in.

I realize Bob has some issues to deal with, and I respect that. I'm not going to send trouble his way. OTOH, I have become disillusioned with the hobby (mostly, but not completely due to Bob). Now I just want out. All I want is a refund of my down-payment- I hope this will not take too much of his time.

Bob, if you're reading this, I truly hope things resolve themselves. And I hope you can also understand my position.

Thank you.
