great jet but terrible way to do business

my my thoughts are if it’s not in stock don’t order it. If you do and need parts or support will it be there for you.

Not sure this is good etiquette, but if you wouldn't mind, would you PM me with the correct email address? I'm still thinking I have something wrong in the address, but its the same one they used to acknowledge the payment funds transfer, yet it gets no answers. I was told by the fellow that put me onto Mauro directly, that it was shipped (2 weeks ago) yet nothing as far as a tracking number or notification of any kind to me or the shipping depot here.
Thanks in advance, but if you don't feel comfortable, then feel free not to send it to me.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet? Is a fuel tank supplied with the Rebel hot?
If so what is it made from? How much does it hold?

I had a friend interfere with FedEx’s procedures and up the status from economy so it got from Italy to Canada via the USA in a day...customs will bill me later I guess... now hopefully its all intact with the tank, gear, and pipe as ordered... Yeah I do need a tall cool one!!I

So... even though the paint quality is questionable, it looks to be straight and true.

Anyone have detailed pics for the hatch mounting?

I agree, the paint shows the glass weave through it, but the bird is LIGHT! All I got for a manual was 3 layout sheets for horns and gear leg cutouts. The hatch mounting is vastly different than anything I have done to date as it is so very long incorporating the intakes into itself. The correct method for mounting it would be nice to know. Bolt or latch, and front or back? Where to put the various sized guide horns, dowels etc.

Anyway glad it finally got here...and indeed it appears to be straight!!!

Happy for you that you got your Hot finally Len! Related to the build, there´s plenty of pictures on the web, Maybe this link helps : Pirotti Rebel Hot - Seite 6 towards the bottom of the thread there you see pictures of the PnP version.

Wow, that is horrible paint. I can't believe how rough the tape edges are and the orange peel is horrific...... I'd be beyond pissed off if that is what I received....

I’d be sending that one back for sure or asking for a sizeable discount. I’ve had some questionable comp-arfs but nothing like that really.

So all the really bad paint is on the hatch, I'll be talking to some local guys on getting it fixed.

As for sending it back... Titanic head ache... so I will build it... fly it like a orange headed step child!

Again I agree, with all the time it took to get the thing and as great as they are reputed to fly, sending it back is not an acceptable solution. The scheme is so dramatic that most won’t ever notice the weave showing etc. This is a new kind of composite structure (I’m told) so maybe there are learning curves not anticipated. I get the requesting a discount but that’s as likely as getting the IRS to refund your lifetime taxes paid! Now onto my question:
Does anyone know what I should be trying to do with these G-10 parts? The top two sets are 1/16” (1.62mm) thick and the bottom set is 1/8” (3.09 mm) thick. The top set might be for the flaps as they are an internal horn set up. The middle set mystifies me but maybe for the hatch guides just at the intakes? The bottom set looks to be a riser for maybe the engine or nose gear?

Are all the Rebel Hot stabs like these? They appear to both be left stabs as the live hinge will be atop on the left side
and below on the right side.
