Scott,
Let me say first of all I don't have any gas engines of any kind, but I do know how you feel somewhat. I have had diabetes since the 7th grade. And having been out of school for 19 years now (wow 19 years) bad blood sugars have really affected my eyes. Staying in contact with a good opthamologist is a must. Watch out for your eyes. When you lose part of your vision it never comes back. And laser surgery to keep from losing your eye sight is not the same as the corrective type. Its like getting hit in the eye with a baseball bat repeatedly by Hank Aaron.
I have also recently lost a family member (my grandmother). Not hard enough to lose your family member, but I was also in charge of funeral arrangements (not as a family member, but as a funeral director). Kinda tough keeping your family happy (everything has to be perfect).
Said all that to say please take care of your health and don't over do it at the shop ( lack of rest is almost as bad as bad blood sugars). I truely hope things will turn around for you for the rest of the year.
Do you know that I woke up early this morning and realized I fogot to send my condolences on the loss of your loved one. So I will now. I am sorry to hear about your loss.

Well, I hope Scott is feeling better. Has anyone received anything from him lately? Anyone receive an engine? Anyone have their email returned, or their phone call answered? I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I still haven't had any reply to my phone calls, or emails. I asked for a refund on my 46GT several days ago, and haven't heard anything. I'm sure he is a nice guy and all, but he has 425.00 bucks of mine, and seems to be ignoring me. Why shouldn't I be concerned? I've been waiting 6 weeks- I either want to see an engine, or I'd like my money back so I can buy another engine.

I got my refund from Scott last week and both my emails about the refund were replied too the very next day. It took a little over a week for him to get the refund handled.

Iā€™ve got an email from Scott last Tuesday (7/8) apologizing for the delay of my 46GT order. He had mentioned that IE parts are arriving Friday (7/11) and should have my engine ship by Monday (7/14). Iā€™m still havenā€™t receive any email notifying me that my order has been shipped. Iā€™ve placed my order in early March and been patiently waiting for it. I myself was also debating to ask for a refundā€¦ but since Iā€™ve been waiting for over 5 months nowā€¦ a few more should not make any difference.

When I first placed my order,we actually ordered 2.I also waited a few months. But I also didnt have a plane really ready for it yet either. Now that Ive got it and used it,it was worth the wait..

Cya,
Frank

No doubt, Scott is the man. I thoroughly enjoy my Brillelli engines and would/will buy another one in a heart beat.

Having diabetes myself, I can appreciate your situation. It is not a picnic, that's for sure.

My condolences for the loss of your mother. BTDT too.

I got an email from scott last week that said he had parts in that were going to building some engines. I ordered a 26 i don't know if it was going to be my engine that was built and shipped but i can hope. BTW i just ordered a DL 50 and they were also out until this thursday so it is not just scott. And in case anybody has looked Horizon has a lot of there backordered and they all say late july are august. And we all know that means september!!!

Has anyone heard from Scott? Has anyone received an engine from him?

Thanks

I got a shipping confermation 4 weeks ago and still no package yet. The USPS tracking info says electronic notice sent, if that means anything. [&o]

The USPS only uses these receipts to track lost packages. It may or may not mean anything was actually mailed. That's why I try to only use UPS or FedEx.

On the 26SSR thread there was a post that said that Scott was no longer around. I am trying to find out what was meant by that.

If Scott is going to pack it in he probably doesn't have the cash to refund the amounts that buyers have paid in advance. At $350 per engine he is going to have to come up with thousands to pay us all back.

Scary thought.

I have made a post about this here...

I have ordered an Extreme Flight 74ā€¯ Yak54 / Brillelli 46GT engine combo way back in early Marchā€¦ I received the plane but still waiting on the engine and accessories that should have came with the combo. I got an email from Scott, apologizing for the delay and should have it send out by the end of the weekā€¦ that was a month (7/15) ago. Now this would explain why I haven't got it... I guess that Iā€™m out $400. [] If he had just explained his circumstances... I would understand and would have told him to keep it, if it would help out on his situation. I just don't like to be kept in the dark.

Please follow that thread.. I just posted some more info.

There are 3 46s that will be going out with the last of his parts. One may be yours.. he was at work so I couldnt get any specifics.

Scott is a smuck in my book! Took my engine back for repair all the while ,he new he was in financial trouble and kept telling me along with others who I wont name (Jake Ruddy)that "youll get your engine or refund ".Well here it is 8-4-2010 .Still out the five hundred nintey five dollars .
I hope his job is seven times harder than mine is!

I would say he is a common thief but that would be a slap in the face to all the common thieves out there. Not only did he steal your money but he lied to you to do it. Rest assured that what goes around comes around...he'll get his.
