ORIGINAL: icrashbipes

they finally answered the phone on Wednesday.

I bought a 160 twin several months ago and have been waiting ever since. guess i can wait till 07 but still not convinced they are coming.

Well Group,I am finally fed up with the excuses, for two years I have heard them all several times from early spring to late fall and now January 07. A couple of months ago I called and asked if my order would be included in the next shipment... "oh we don't give that information out..." I may have continued the wait if I knew it was "close". My order has now been cancelled via telephone message left on their answering machine and via a fax. Although DPM looks like they make a real nice model, I can't agree with their lack of business skills to deliver to the customer. Either youare in the business to design, and sell airplanes or you are not...

After attending the IHOBBYEXPO last Thursday I, of course didn't see DPM there. I did however place an order for a 105" Tigermoth from Powerline Hobbies that looks like it will be a nice substitution for the S'Cub, at least for me. It ships around November 20th, and somehow I believe them. They tell me my OS 1.60 twin I have had waiting will be perfect and maybe even my KELEO exhaust, MPI glow driver, and SWB stand-offs will work out in the Tigermoth as well.

Good luck and I hope to see more progress and tips communicated here. I have flown 1:1 size Supercubs a lot, but never a Tigermoth, at least I'll have a smaller one soon.
