Default March Shipment

Tom,

I don't mean to be a nudge, but I was curious how the march shipment is coming?


Thanks,

-Ryan

I don't want to bug you Tom, but any news on the 28% Extra? Since I owe the IRS $5000 [:@] I'm not in any hurry, just curious...
The boat is still afloat in the Pacific somewhere.

See how miserable this time is without my extra, hopefully that boat pilot will step on it!!![]

These last few weeks seem to take so long when your waiting for something you want.


I hope the long wait will be worthit!

Good news, the ship arrived in LA today.

The bad news is it stall must get past the anti-terrorist folks. No eta until the government is done with it.

No hope, they'll just be arriving here April 3. BTW there are over 200 airplanes in this shipment and they are almost all sold, so if you ordered recently don't expect it for a while. We cannot ship 200 planes in 1 day. We try to do at least a dozen a day. YOu do the math.

I'll bet that Tom's Toledo was BUSY!!! On Saturday, every time I got around there to say Hi, there was a crowd. At least I *DID* get to eyeball Tom from a distance!!

David, you patience will be rewarded mightily! You'll love the plane. I liked my first one so much I bought another one for a backup (just in case).

Hmmmm.
Without bothering Tom and slowing down the shipment process, I wonder how I could find out where I am on the list of "to be shipped" airplanes. I am very anxiously awaiting the Extra Special.

Brief update. Though the planes have been in the country for almost 3 weeks we're still awaiting delivery here.

Latest date is now Friday 4/9. Sorry for any trouble but it's out of my control.

Also now everything in this shipment is sold or otherwise committed. We're accepting orders for standby's and for the early June shipment.

I dont know if it would be a good idea, as i dont own a small businees, but wouldnt it be a better idea to only sell the stuff you have? Like you said you sold 200 some odd planes that you dont even have in your posession. What happens if the crate got damaged? or something else happened to them?

Like if it were me, i would rather have the iteam right infront of me to make sure it is undamaged, or properly working order before i sold it.

Well in tom's defense as a small business owner myself, nothing is better than selling inventory before you have even recieved it, his money is moving as as fast as it is going out, with little or no inventory.

Tom I can't wait to get the plane and I know based on what I have heard about you if there were a problem you would tak care of it.
