Mike, Kevin, Bueller Bueller ??????? Just wondering what is going on with the Raven? I have this monkey on my back and the only way to get rid of it is to Have a blood red Raven sitting in my hanger........HELP!!!!!!

Cheers,
Jim

Jim, I know all you guys have given up on the Raven but I will not start selling it untill its 100% perfect. I have 20 wood kits cut minus a few sheets that im checking over to make sure everything is right then all thats left is to take a ton of pics for the build manual and get the plastic the way i want it. Also with set backs with laser the other week it has slowed me down with the Raven and other designs. Guys im very sorry about how long it has taken me to get the Raven ready to sell but you have to let me get it perfect before i send them out. The last thing i want is to have someone say they had a problem with the build because some parts did not fit right even though im sure it will happen some time or a nother. For those that have been waiting on my website i finaly got some good help from someone and he will have me a site up real soon.


Thanks
Mike

Sure glad you ask I was thinking about it. Guess it will be worth the wait from the sound of the other betas that are out

We don't mean to be pushy, Mike, we know you're a busy guy... But there are quite a few of us waiting on the Raven. And Tsunami, for that matter... How far down the list is it?

Mike,
Thanks for getting back, it is great to see you are taking the time to make sure it is a 100%. I am really looking forward to getting one in my hot little hands. Keep up the great work. Where does the Porter fall on the list? That is another must have in my book, and I think your sizing and weight perdictments sound awsome, it sounds like I will not even have to put a brushless in it to get better then scale performance. I was really thinking that '03 was going to be the year to scale back on the number of planes but with designs like these that is going to be hard to do, keep up the great work.

Cheers again,
Jim

I dont think your guys are pushy. My plans were to have the Raven finished long ago but it just has not worked out that way for me. I am working on it and It will be ready soon. As for the Tsunami, its getting worked on along with other designs and should not take to long to get out but im not going to name a time yet because i dont seem to be able to estimate the time it takes to get stuff ready

Thanks
Mike

And the Caravan is taking some of the spare time

I think dave said something about that Caravan last week but im not sure where he is on the design. Maybe he will post some info on it soon.

Sorry Mike, I couldn't resist Great its still being thought of though. Now get back to work

You think you guys are anxious?

Number 1 is supposed to be HERE!!! I was kind of hoping it'd show up while I was on Spring Break, so I would be able to 'start fresh', but just as well, as I haven't decided on the 'perfect' first brushless package... As soon as I do, everyone will probably be out of them... It's funny how this 'free' airplane will cost me $300 in new equipment

Mike,
I see that you have the page up and ready to sell the Raven, just wondering when that might happen, not that I am anxious or anything but I really really need that plane , and just to be more of a pain in the butt how goes the Porter?

Cheers,
Jim

OK guys lets cut Mike a little slack. It is one thing to build yourself one sweet model and quite another to build 50 or 100. The logistics can be quite staggering. Mike is on that dreaded verticle line learning curve. At least he is still climbing up it and hasn't fallen off. Things happen instantly on the net but in real life take slightly longer.

To be totaly honest im not 100% on when i will have the kits ready. All i do know is that the cut files are finished and i have about 20 kits cut but i dont have plastic, not the instructions totaly finished. If the plastic is finished up this week that means that maybe next week i will have kits ready to sell. Trust me i more than anyone want to kits to be sold I really think this is going to be one Great kit so it might be worth waiting on for some but i understand if the wait was just to long for some. Im doing what i can the best i can.

Thanks
Mike

As I understand it, Mike's had some difficulties with obtaining certain parts of the kit bit they're very very close to ready.
