My gear is Ok but I want this initiative going I received an email from John (COO) at LASAR last week, they receive the first quote back from the gear manufacturer and awaiting a secondary quote as the first manufacturer's lead time is considered excessive (didn't say how long). Will keep everyone posted. V/r Matt 6 2 Quote

No response yet on second bid? So, got an email from LASAR, working on another route for the gears, no word back on 2nd bid or basic timeline, there are/were 60 individuals, not including any of the MSCs that are wanting gears..it's been very frustraiting indeed... 1 Quote
Paul Thomas Posted July 8 Report Posted July 8 I can't imagine how frustrated you must be, this process is starting to make the government appear efficient. To the outside, it would appear that Mooney would make the few phone calls needed to get the ball rolling quickly with the third party vendor. The time investment vs. return seems to be there. Sigh. If Mooney can get a project like that done, it doesn't speak well to their capabilities should we need something more complex. Can you imagine if Mooney actually had to produce the part? Quote
Echo Posted July 10 Report Posted July 10 We are over a year with 60 owners wanting to buy the part and STILL don't have anything? Mooney, COME ON! This is unacceptable! Are you making/coordinating for the manufacture of parts? It does NOT appear to be the case. This is NOT a new design. This should NOT take over a year in this quantity! Support the fleet or sell to someone that will. Quote

You could be emailing LASAR about it yourself...John@lasar.com Quote
Echo Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 (edited) 42 minutes ago, N201MKTurbo said: Unacceptable? So what are you going to do about it? Call Lasar parts every week and request a date of availability and remind them that there are 60 customers waiting for this gear. Called today and nobody available to take the call so I left a message. Edited July 11 by Echo 1 Quote
Echo Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 (edited) I have given Lasar thousands of dollars in business over the years. I am a repeat customer. Edited July 11 by Echo Quote
Echo Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 If 60 people, or 50, or 40, or 30, or 20 or 10 did this...showed a sense of urgency, perhaps the wheels would turn a bit faster? 1 Quote

Matthew P Posted July 12 Author Report Posted July 12 So, my understanding is that the gear manufacturer is giving the following lead times... 12-18 months, they are trying to find a manufacturer that can do it sooner than that..HOWEVER, I would have already put in the min order (25 sets) to get the ball rolling because we may find ourselves 12-18 months down the road and be 12-18 months behind. 4 Quote

Yes! Twelve months from NOW sounds better than waiting and it’s xmonths from date of THAT order time Quote
