Phil as always is very busy and is also moving premises so that is probably why he has been difficult to obtain .

RE: Wasp update
 

Mr Rutter and Jason you are both welcome to have a quick twiddle of the sticks with something with a wasp in . and don't worry it won't be a reaper . that was only used ofr the first few flights due to it being a good test bed . the fact that it is more of a kite than an aeroplane means it would never be used to dem at shows . and yes Heward Microjets do have a stand at jet power. we are right next to wren and will be challenging them to a bake off. hopefully this will put any rumours of the 2 not getting on to rest.

RE: Wasp update
 

If there is a Bake-off, I think Sara at Wren will win, from what I have heard.
Bad blood? I chat with Wren pretty often, and in my dealings with them, I have NEVER heard them act like that, never heard them say anything bad about Heward, they have never acted in anything but a gentlemanly(or ladylike) manner, EVER.
I don't speak for Wren, but from what I know, any rumors of bad blood, or any implication that they might harbor any ill thoughts about Heward, well, I have serious doubts about that.
Just thought it needed saying.
I think there will be more Wasps about and being demoed very soon, the only thing that will convince the world is to get the engines out there and flown.

RE: Wasp update
 

i have to agree with everything you've said about Wren, nothing but great people.

RE: Wasp update
 

The VERY best of people from my experiences with them[sm=thumbup.gif]

RE: Wasp update
 

Hmmmn..:)..what if Sara and the boys have a secret new recipe..;)....Something that would ensnare your senses...Something so mouthwatering...;)

RE: Wasp update
 

Like a 20 pound thrust SS54!!!????

RE: Wasp update
 

What about this 30lb engine they developing?

RE: Wasp update
 

i know wren have never had a problem with Phill and vice versa but people over the last few months have been heard to say the opposite . I have been working on a scret recipe for my baking which will include aviation fuel and a dash of resin in each cake . although they may not taste too good you will be in no fit state to complain i guarentee. maybe a good old fashioned egg and spoon race would be more fitting . A fight between pilots would be no good as that Chris Seaman is a bit of a wuss. anyway jet power should be a good event it will be the first time i have been and very much looking forward to it

Apfel streudel..with added cinnamon...;)..and real Cornish ice-cream ...oups..more weight gain[:-]... i used to be 11 lbs 8 oz....;)

RE: Wasp update
 

Who need cake when you can munch one of these :D

RE: Wasp update
 

Mr Rutter the rumours you mentioned a while back . are they the same as i have just heard in that heward microjets have gone bust. I mentioned this to Phill and he said he wish someone had told him as then he would not have bought lots of new equipment and moved to a more suitable work space. I tell you the jet scene is great for rumours and gossip. almost like a soap. If it where a soap i would obviously be the hunky male who all the women want. i wish !!!!

RE: Wasp update
 

Only butting in as my name was mentioned no that wasn't the rumour but as you rightly say there are loads of incorrect rumours floating about thats why they are best kept to ourselves.

RE: Wasp update
 

not sure if anyones set the story right on this regards heward-microjets and microjet engineering.

microjet engineering had the recievers come in last year.
sometime before this happened Phill Heward left the company (microjet engineering) to setup on his own company with his own designs (as far as i know most of the designs that microjet engineering produced we're designed by Phill anyway, Phoenix 30.3, phoenix MK4, Phoenix panther and super panther, phoeonix albatros 90lbs thrust and all the others included the 150lb thrust and those with reheat and kerosene autostart)

Phill is doing well with his new company and has definatly NOT gone bust infact only lastnight (31/7/06) i helped Phill and his wife anna relocate to a new workshop here in Lincolnshire offloading all the mills, lathes etc, (i never knew how powerful those hydraulic winch's we're until lastnight LOL)

so if anyone is wondering if Heward microjets have gone bust i can catagorically say 'No' they haven't.

RE: Wasp update
 

So Heward Microjets is still trading ,How about an address and reachable phone number.

RE: Wasp update
 

not sure of the exact address, it's in Metheringham near sleaford

the mobile phone number is the same as on their site, the landline number will be updated once they have got it setup.

hope this helps

RE: Wasp update
 

they are usually good at replying to emails although i am not sure if they have that set up yet so mobile is best, or you could use there us dealer who posted earlier in this thread

RE: Wasp update
 

The address is unit 23, Metheringham trading estate, Lincoln. LN4 3HX
The same mobile and office numbers work as before.

+44 (0) 7733 372374
+44 (0) 1954 250166 (this will change to the new works number eventually) Use this number for the next few weeks as im going to be working in the US from tomorrow.

The phone/ broadband line was fitted yesterday but I cant remember what the number is
but there is nothing plugged into it yet anyhow.

Phill

RE: Wasp update

Edited as my first comment was sarcy which is a bit low not my style 'sorry'

RE: Wasp update
 

here we go again. [:@]

RE: Wasp update
 

Well if your ex business partner or what ever had not have kept sending those very excellently machined engines (being truthful and not sarcy) but poorly running engines so until they are ALL eventually sorted we will hear quite a few reports but I'm sure Phil is getting on top of this.

Its a shame that people who do have sorted engines don't pipe up as I have heard they are starting to get better which is what they need to do.

Take it easy

This thread is becoming tedious. Too many personal indecipherable posts. Please, no more until some real information is available.

RE: Wasp update
 

Can we kill this thread? It's waaaay off topic, has been for a long time. Was supposed to be about the Wasp, instead it's about ant-rutter trying to kill the Wasp at all costs, and about Sara's baking.
It's not right. Lock this one up, and if someone wants to start a new one, great.
