After receiving my invoice I e-mail'd savex that I would send 1/3 of the payment and the rest upon completion of the model. Havn't heard anything from them and probably will not. Normal business practices don't seem to apply here. It's a great product and I'd love to have one but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Meanwhile I'll continue on my JHH A-4 turbine conversion and look forward to the new smaller offerings that are sure to come.
