I know him personally he does build a nice scale cockpit might have to wait awhile to get it though. Right now I know he is in the process of moving to Champaign Il.

All the good stuff takes time. May be longer than you want to wait...but probably worth the wait.
I have no idea who this guy is or what aggregious acts he may have committed...but you can't fault a craftsman for taking forever.
(unless he guaranteed something far less).

I'm used to having some type of communication when I'm doing business with someone especially when they take your money and promise a delivery date and nothing shows for over a month without having the courtesy of responding emails or even a phone call.
I'm just not used to doing business like that with my clients or my vendors. I understand that we all have personal problems but come on give me a break here !!! All I ask for is a simple phone call, is that too much to ask ?
I know he does great work and he's a very nice guy otherwise he wouldn't have my business, I feel like I'm chasing my tail..

I too have also gotten a really nice cock pit set from him for my Jet Legend L39, took some time but well worth it.
I spoke to him a little over a week ago and he is infact moving, so no reason not to call you Johnny, but sometimes people are better at their craft than they are at communication and good marketing???

I agree with Paul, if you want something that is highly customized, you know, the stuff that makes you a stand out from everyone else and takes forever to create and where there is no way buddy is gettin paid for the number of hours they put in and YOU can't do it yourself then waiting is your only option...

Scaleman,
I think the problem Johnny is having is that he has had no contact with this person. If this person would call or email back and let him know what is going on then at least he would not be hung out to dry...

I don't know him and I have no issues with him personally, business ethics are important when dealing with the public wether you're the best or not. If it's going to take 1 year and I agree to it is a different story but this is not the case.
All I want is what I paid for when it was promised to me.

JET FX ,
Are you sure you haven't mistaken Jetflyer 24 for someone else? This does not sound like Johnny. Why don't you pm Jetflyer 24 so this can be figured out?

Buck,
This is not the one at JT's place. Don Yockey did build it from a Century Jets kit. I am refabricating the tail plane pivot arms and pieces that connect the stabs. I do not like the set up from Century Jets. Then it is time to fly. Don also built the one at JT's
Johnny,
I agree with you on the contact part. He is not the best at that. You will like what you get however

To Johnny and all concerned about future dealing with My business it will be done
on a strictly professional level. I have.. do to personal issues fallen way behind and will be shut down for a month or so to get moved, and solidify my situation and reamerge with all my woes behind me.
Anyone who is waiting on a project from Wingman or myself will be contacted and the projects will be completed within the most expedient time frame as possible before I move and shut down.
Sincerely,
Michael Hicks
