View Full Version : Cool FREE Carbon 12K Tow
Mr B....
Mar 20, 2006, 10:24 PM
I was given over 100,000 ft. of Hexcel carbon tow and would like to pass this deal along. If you would like some FREE carbon tow please send $2 by mail to the address below this will cover the shipping. "Check or money order is not needed". In return you will get 4 oz. Qty ( 360 ft. more or so) of Hexcel 12K carbon tow shipped by post 1st class. For the molders out side of the USA I will take care of this on a one on one bases with the shipping cost. If any of you would like more than the 4 oz. deal I can do that to. I will ship out what I can as the mail comes in.
For more info contact me at mm.glidertech@verizon.net

Wow!
I received my box of carbon today. The box was professionally packaged and labeled; covered in shipping paper and well taped. Inside was a very generous roll of tow.
I’m really blown away. I was expecting (and would have been very happy with) a bunch of tow stuffed into an envelope! This is some very good karma for you Mr. B!
Thanks again, Pete

Got mine today also. People could learn a few things about packaging from you. I also was “blown away” by not only the packaging but the amount of tow. Came just in the nick of time, have already put some of it to use.

I still have some to give away. Just picked up the mail today so there will be more going out this week.
From here on out it will be limited to 4 oz & 8 oz lots! It would be nice if everyone can get some. I have about three more 8lb rolls to give away. I maybe only doing this for a few more weeks. I am running out of boxes.
Good things come in small a box.

I met Merrill, over the weekend, to pick up one of his kits and some free carbon toe.
He is one of the most helpful persons I’ve met in the hobby.
He showed me the surplus of toe he had and how he was wrapping everyone toe by hand, with the aid of a drill and a kit spool-like double crossed spool. He spun his magic like a pro, several seconds and he had a neatly wound order on a folded piece of cardboard.
He was kind enough to tell me a few tips to other type of modeling while this was all going on and still scheduling time for his family events for the rest of the day.
He asked if we received some carbon from him, that we share with our other fellow hobbyist and not get to greedy with our orders from him. As well as having a little patience with our request.
Thanks, Merrill, for the kit and the free carbon toe.

How long has it taken for you guys to receive your supply. I'm rapidly approaching four weeks with nothing. I've e-mailed Mr. B. a couple of times to find out if my $ arrived, and/or had he sent the stuff and it got lost. I would send more cash if I knew. Surprisingly, I've not heard a word from Mr. B. and frankly am rather disgusted. My gut tells me that he's not the kind of person that doen't give a damn, after all, he didn't have to go through the hassle of sharing and shipping the tow, but it's certainly hard not to feel that way.
jbrandon
Apr 09, 2006, 09:29 AM
He must have misplaced you order. It took about 10 days to receive mine well packaged even to the extent of over packaging.
Silly question, you did enclose your ship to address?
cynjon
Apr 09, 2006, 09:44 AM
How long has it taken for you guys to receive your supply.
I sent my money on March 20th, got a PM that my tow had shipped April 1st, and received it on the 3rd.
I'm sure the number of orders was HUGE--it's possible that yours slipped through the cracks and was overlooked. Is it also possible that your money never arrived there?
I'm sure Merrill will make it right. Hope you get yours soon...

Hey Mr. B.
If the tow is on its way, I can wait. I got concerned when I saw individuals responding to the arrival of their tow, and it seemed that they had requested some after me. That's the only reason I sent two e-mails to you. I didn't know where I was in the process. If the cash didn't arrive, I will be happy to send some more. I do appreciate that you are being bombarded with requests and delays will happen, be they on your end or USPS. Just let me know if you would, and I will send money or wait on the USPS a few more days.
Thanks,
Keith

Thank you for your most generous act of kindness to fellow modelers.
Now for the rest of you that recieved the 12K tow. What are we gonna do with it? Maybe we need to start a new thread dedicated to its use and application? I am going to experiment a bit on some scrap, as this stuff is new to me. Then I plan to use it to strengthen the fuse on my RO8 as the ply fuse is really weak. I also will do the same on my under construction Talon as posts have idicated it to has a weak spot.
Any suggestions to aid in the use of this 12 K TOW will be much appreciated.

I again want to thank you publicly for the effort you have put out for all of us. I just received my second batch and noticed the postage was $2.38 not counting the box and warping. I’m glad I didn’t have change but even so I think you came up short.
I sent my last request in a little late but you came threw.
