RC Ignitions...
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to post a comment about the great service I received from Ralph at RC Ignitions. I bought a used Quadra 75 on eBay, and when I received the engine, I realized that the crankshaft was bent. I tried to contact the seller and get my money back, but I had no luck.
Anyways, I contacted Ralph and he offered a very reasonable price to straighten the crank. It turned out that crank was really bent and the flywheel and hub were a little crooked also. Ralph fixed it all up and it runs great! Also, his turn around time was really quick! My only regret was that I didn't get him to convert it to one of his electronic ignitions!
I highly recommend Ralph at RC Ignitions!
Thanks
Grizak

Another fellow modeler has seen the light 
Ralph is one of the best indeed. It has been said over and over on these forums how respected this man is. I've done business with Ralph at least three or four times, and countless phone calls and chit chat. The stories and wealth of information seem endless... I also very highly recommend Ralph, and for those who don't have his contact information, here it is:

I second that arobatx! Have been dealing with Ralph for a few years, he's taught me a lot and as chad has mentioned is a great guy to BS with.
Oh, he might have changed his e-mail address. If so just give him a call and leave a message.

Pat's absolutely right, we have lost both a good friend and a great resource. He has a wealth of knowledge and is willing to share it. Our loss,,,,,,,,

RE: RC Ignitions...
Why did Ralph leave the forum? I recall some pretty acidic posts a while back, and I remember Ralph threatening to pull the plug on RCU, but he was posting after that incident. What's going on? I too miss his input on these threads.

RE: RC Ignitions...
Add my name to the list of engine lovers who miss Ralph's comments on our forums. He has converted (3) of my G62 engines to EI and has answered my phone calls with patience and consideration.
Ralph, if you're reading this forum, we sure would like to have you return.

RE: RC Ignitions...
Just want to add my 2 cents to all the positives that have been said about Ralph. Though I've never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, we have had numerous e-mails conversations and one phone talk, all of which were most enlightening for me, as he willingly shared his vast wealth of knowledge and experience.
The two Zenoah engine conversions he has done for me are true reflections of the level of excellence in his workmanship. In my book he is simply the real deal, and for sure many of us will be the worst off for his absence from here. Sure hope he decides to return, as too many of us are paying the price for a few.

RE: RC Ignitions...
I think everyone needs a "we miss Ralph" sticky thread 
This is the 3rd post of this nature in the last month or so... he is easy to find via a phone or his forum which a link has been posted many times recently....
I for one am surprised he has left for this long this time... from what I have seen he will be back and maybe leave again for a 3rd or a 5th time and be back again...

If you read the little "in reply to", you will know who I meant.

LOL.. I could care less really. not hear to make "online friends" here to learn and share knowledge period. I speak my mind.. some like it some don't not much I can do about that.
And for the record he has left twice that I know of...
The point was this is the 3rd thread about him in a month... this is the gas engine fourm not the I miss ralph forum. Don't get me wrong I may argue with him because I think he's a bit umm over bearing shall we say.. but I have sent him business myself (atleast 3 people in the last year) and his name is mentioned at my field from time to time.
Just because I dont agree with his tactics and general attitude doesnt mean I don't respect him at the same time.
The best boss I ever had and taught me some things in life was one who would yell at me when I did something wrong during the day and at 5pm would go out for a beer with me like nothing happened.

Just for your information Ralph was one of the foundation folks that helped make this forum what it is, though these days it is somewhat of a diluted entity.
