Sabremech Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Good morning to the group. The parts shipped this morning. I have one set left to ship to Clarence (for Ned) that I will work on this afternoon. Hopefully no issues shipping to Canada. Thank you all, David 7 2 Quote

bonal Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Replaced ours a few years ago but just wanted to say fantastic work to put this together. With the closure of the factory this type of thing may become normal and needed as I was having a conversation with my IA yesterday and he is becoming concerned about their ability to perform annuals as parts become scarce. Well done MS. 1 Quote

hammdo Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Posted April 7, 2020 Question, is there tracking info? -Don Quote

If you don’t have yours by Wednesday, let me know and I’ll track it. Thanks, David Quote
MoonFlyer68 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 I guess because my address is listed with UPS, I already got tracking information. Now I just wish it was right...lol. Said my package was delivered today, but nothing there. I saw the UPS guy in the neighborhood even so I know when he was here. I have seen this happen before unfortunately. My guess is that it will magically appear tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Quote
Greg Ellis Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 I received mine yesterday. It was a nice surprise. I was not expecting them, the box and label were kind of non-descript so I had no idea what it was and then opened it and was happily surprised. The little things that thrill pilots.... Thanks for all the hard work from everyone. 1 Quote
ReconJon Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 Any still available? Been away from the web for a bit. Quote
Sabremech Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 Hi ReconJon, There were no extras made as that would fall outside the owner produced rules. I could make some for you but you’d need to supply me with at least the raw materials in order to qualify for owner produced and they would be pricey for a single set. I’m told LASAR has stock again on theirs. You might try them and if they are out of stock, I can see what the pricing would be. Thank you, David 1 Quote

jamesm Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 Awe you beat me with the photos, but I will say this though admits all this stupid covid crisis that we are in. Other than sun in the pnw which can be rare this time of year.... receiving Down and up lock blocks was the next brightest thing. Is it wise to powder coat the down lock block? I wanted to match the panel. Thanks again to Dave and Anders and others that made this happen. James '67C Quote

James '67C Hi James, I think LASAR powder coats their blocks as the ones I have from them are powder coated. I personally don’t care for it as its chipping off in the contact areas. I think the anodizing will be better in the long run as it won’t chip but will show where it contacts and wears over time. Just my .02 bit you can powder coat if you choose. Thanks, David 1 Quote

Apparently leaving the package in the mailbox of the vacant house across the street is close enough for UPS. The good news is that I did find my package and the blocks look FANTASTIC!!! Thanks to all that worked on this. 1 Quote
hammdo Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Posted April 7, 2020 Awesome work (I bought new hardware too)! So worth the effort -- way to go TEAM! Andersj and Sabremech fantastic job overall! Now, we know how we can do OPP for sure! -Don 4 Quote
