Matt,

Thanks for the breakdown! Yeah, I changed my order because Eric at skymasters saved me ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS on that P-120, since I bought 2 airplanes from him......That's alot of money!!

I appreciate that you guys are busy and all that, that's great for business and great for us modelers.

BUT, I have given you almost $10,000 ($7,000 directly and $2,800 indirectly, through your distributor) and the delay explanation that I got from Jetcat on friday is that someone has to pay CA sales tax for you to send the P-120 directly to me. And this is why the engine has not made it to me, two months later. This is not what Eric told me. You (jetcat, not you personally!) did not tell Eric this before (I s/w him on thursday) and you did not tell me this either. I have left him a message and he has not called me back yet to arrange the details. Hey, thats ok, I am only posting the fact that I have had to wait over 2 months for an engine that I paid for a LONG time ago.

I won't get buggered over a few hundered bucks but a few thousand dollars difference and even this little country doctor from the bay area may just have to rub his eyes a little! So, $10K just in engines spent. I think it is ok for me to wonder what my money is doing for me! If I have to pay you a few hundred $$ more to get that engine, then I guess Eric could not save me the money he said he could. That's the r/c jet way! Patience and Money!!

Thank you,

Rafael

PS. when are those kerosene starters going to come in stock, I'd like to buy two more!!

PSS: looks like I will have to toss a coin between artes and simjet!
