Hi Guys,
Does RAM 500 (Gary) still sell parts for the Corsair? I have one progressing nicely and I could use some of his parts to save time. I have PM'ed him a couple of times. I got a price list and then tried to order some parts in the summer, but no word back since then. Sent a reminder PM. same result.
If you read this Gary, then HI! just let me know if you want to do business or not?
Kind Regards,

John

Hello John and everyone. I am still here working away. We have had a crazy busy year in the construction business. Anyone who has ever had a business with employees knows what that is all about. Between that and family, my time in the shop has been at a premium. As the evenings are my shop time when available, full scale doesn't impact building, just flying. That having been said, I am concentrating on existing orders with a goal to have them all out this month. Just received some more supplies to that end. So, I'm holding off on new orders until that is accomplished. I will send out lists, and quotes, but I don't want to take orders until I'm completely caught up. Hopefully around Christmas I can open up the order book again. Thank you for your patience. I also have a new item that I am developing with a friend. He is developing the manufacture procedure to make it practical and affordable. More about that as we get this all worked out.

John, just hang in there. I will get to your needs ASAP.

sinserely
Gary

Gary, what did you use for the wiring for the bomb switches on the top of the dash?

Mike, I use a braided cable called parrashoot cable. It looks like the insulation on the old wiring. Found it at an electronics swap meet, of all places. Trying to figure out how to post a picture of it.

Please understand it is not the gear maker but the design of the wing on the plane. the gear is the gear.

RC Universe PMs are not reliable from my mobile devise, what I regularly check and respond from. I have pointed this out on numerous occasions. I have posted my email before and asked that it be used. Here it is again. [email protected]
Please use it.

Also, I have offered to issue refunds for parts not received or wanted anymore. If packages are lost, I will deal with that as well. It happens. Rarely, but it happens. Over the last 30 years or so that I have been shipping things around the world, I have had 4 shipments completely lost, not counting Steel Powder (gets confused with gun powder or some other suspicious substance sometimes). 3 were parts shipments, and one was a whole plane. A small one at least. Refunds were issued in one case and the other three were replaced with more parts, all at my expense. It has never been primarily about the money. We work for peanuts considering the time it takes to do what we do. No CNC, laser cutting, 3D printing, or little Chinese kids building this stuff. All be hand. I'm trying to change that to make things faster to produce, but that takes time as well. Just are not enough hours in the day.

Lovely. Pulled the wrong number. That was For Andy, so obviously, the answer to your question to him is yes. Please email your address again. I'll get it sorted out.

As for the thread, I have not had time to spend on RCU posting as much. Easier to post to FB from my phone. Here are some belated pictures.
