While we're on this topic...

Has anyone seen or heard from Mr. Russ Honea from PatternProz/Ultimate R/C lately? I know they're out of business but I know he's out there somewhere.

Russ screwed me out of $1620 a couple of years ago on a PL Products Partner kit that I sent to him to build. He built it, flew it and kept it for himself, and then sold it to someone else out of the area (I was later told it went to a buyer in Montana or Alaska), all the while telling me he was going to replace it once he got more kits in from France. I found out later that he didn't just accidentally go out of business, he was systematically giving people the shaft as he went along.

I'd love to locate him and pursue this legally. Anything anyone could do to help would be greatly appreciated (especially if you know of a good attorney in the Tulsa, OK, area that might be able to represent me on this in small claims court).

Thx, Jerry Budd
