RE: Dave Patrick service getting worse?
My new ultimate arrived one week after the latest shipment arrived from China. Test flew it Saturday and it was worth the wait for this great quality airplane.
I would imagine that dealing with manufacturing in CHINA, and the tremendous distances involved causes Dave and Sandy some world class headaches.
I've waited over six months now for a replacement cowl for a GP PW Extra. Now they are delayed again. OK. I can see that's the price you pay for getting this amazing stuf at a ridiculouly price.
So that's just the nature of doing business in the (ugh) 3rd mileniem. I guess the alternative is to go back to the hobby of kit or scatch building. I may be headed there now, only with smaller planes.
I think this giant scale thing is 90% advertizing hype anyway.
