Nicolas, if you can read this or hear of it, please give me a call (213) 448-0548 or email me at "[email protected]". I have tried to reach you via email for the last two weeks and no response, I hope you are alright and just been busy.

hope all turns out well for you guys and i had a funny feeling about dealing with him. just gut instinct and i may have been wrong as many here will state i am sure. but after many emails and long wait times for responses i finally nailed him down on a package price for a jet kit and sent him a check in us funds. after 10 days or so i was getting worried and he did respond that he got the check but never stated when or if he had already sent out my kit. i emailed him on his cell phone and tried to get in contact with him to no avail. i had no choice but to stop payment on the check to protect my funds from being out of pocket for longer than was in the original plan. i have had qiuck responses from others in the jet world only to find they can't deliver for many months after receiving my money. never again. best of luck to all. i will deal here in the states only and love my jetcat p80 i got second hand almost n.i.b. here on line.

Hi I have delt with Nico from his start up on the F-16, and I will say I have never been out of pocket a penny! he is straight foward and honest. He made one of the best F-16 kits today and made the best price for quality deal ! Nic wears three hats 1 Faimmly hat ,1 work hat and 1 Jet biz allso.. so we dont need comments that are negative towards him, this is a mild bash and unapropriate!

aside from the above bashing remark.. i must admit that at first when nic had his jet hat on things went fast and i got alot of confidence going in being a spider jets f 16 owner. but then he changed hats and i lost touch with him for 3 weeks when all i needed was the total for the funds to go out to him.. then again a simple email from him that he got the funds after 10 plus days. and still no mention of when i might see a kit on this end. this hot and cold pattern got frustrating and i can only say i will look for those who wear the jet hat as a primary business and i will always yeild to family needs of others. just the truth and no anger only dissapointed i did not get a f16 kit this year to fly. just they way things go sometimes. i have kept my eyes open for one on the forum for sale. not seen one yet. must be keepers..

actually wanted to buy the pkg from nic with p120, but since hace aquired a turbine and several other airframes. i just prefer to find a kit the someone has not started to build. but thanks for your reply. looks like you will have a nice combo there. go fly it and let me know how 22 pounds of thrust treats it vertically. i hace a p80 and can make use of a p120 for it if needed.

Paul,

Glad to see you're back. Hope your Pops had a nice memorial. You're too funny with the posts. Gimme a call so we can hook up that engine situation.

Gentlemen,

I just spoke to Nicolas. He was on his way to Italy for business. He has asked me to let you know that he will be back online by next Friday, as he had problems with his modem last week. He also asked me to let Santos, Galen and Axel know that all the parts you guys have ordered, were sent to you, Via Priority airmail, last Friday and that he apologises for not being able to communicate with you all, through the last three weeks, but he has been extremely busy with his new job.

I hope this will put an end to all the rumours and uncertainties, Nicolas' absence has created.

Not really. I asked him simple question with regards to new fuel tank I installed in my F-16 more than a month ago while he was gallivanting around the world followed by 3 more e-mail and I have not heard from him. I need the information for proper CG location and we have a big Jet event coming up in less than 4 days.

Tell him to come up with a better excuse than what he gave you.

BTW, anybody want to buy SJ F-16 with less than 9 flights? Next time, I will stick with a manufacturer on this side of the pond.

one would think that with a good product and soo much interest a simple second in command person would be welcome .. i am sure the response to both orders and info would increase business far more than the simple salery needed for that person.
guess they do business at a slower pace onverseas than here in the good old usa..

I will post pictures this week. It is still in primer because I wanted to fly it X 15 before painting it.

It might cost a lot to send it to your location. I have not figured out how much I want to sell it. I will PM you with the numbers tomorrow.

Nicco goes into this mode sometimes. Every now and then, I have to poke at him to wake him up.

Ben,

I have promised Nico not to let everyone know what he is going through right now. Believe me, you would not want to be in his shoes the past couple of weeks. Please, let him breathe a little. He'll come online soon and explain what has happened.

I am merely conveying a message for him being a friend of his, nothing else. I thought, you are a friend of his too, at least that's what he has been telling me.

Ok, I will stay on holding pattern until I hear from him.

I just got a good excuse not to fly my F-16 at Winnamac this weekend.
