12/07/08 – HAPPY HOLIDAYS
To keep up with the demand of our products we have installed a new CNC mill and a fixture it to run 20 to 60 parts at a time depending on the part.  This has just about quadrupled our production capabilities and should be able to keep up with the demand much better.

We know our lead times have been very long and apologies for these delays.  We are making several changes to improve our service.   It has taken much longer to implement these changes then originally planned.  Thanks for your patients, it has really been appreciated.  

We are just starting to have product available again, but please note the following.  ALL orders are built as ordered.   This allow us to install build options like strut hole size and make minor modifications as requested.  After the first of the year we will be moving away from the custom built system and just build preset numbers of stock ahead.   Then when it’s in stock on the site the product will be ready to ship, and eliminate these delays.   But until then please note a lead of 1 to 2 weeks on new orders.    

In the next day or two you will see a new product category called “Retro Fit kits”.  There you will find retro fit kits put together for specific retracts.  For example the first kits will be for the Robart 630 Retract line.  We will have kits for tri-gear systems and just mains.  These kits come with everything required for installing the electric actuators in the Robart 630!  Also included is a detailed step by step instructions to help in the installation process.  These kits will allow you to convert your air retract to electric for the following models, just to name a few.

Top Flite B-25

Top Flite T-34

WOOO Horsy !!!!   Well we are out of stock again.  We had about two months worth of stock build ahead and it all sold in a little over one week.  We are really blown away by the interest in our products but right now, the demand continues to outpace our production capabilities.   We are in the process of expanding our production capabilities but in the mean time we will have periods when we are out of stock on certain products.    

If you are interested in buying our products please create an account and check “Allow Promotional Emails”.  Once the products are available an email will be sent to you.  We never give out your email address and will not flood you’re in box with SPAM.  So please this is really the best way to know when we have stock. 

If you have already placed an order we are shipping product as quickly as we can.  Once your order has shipped you will get an email notification with tracking info.  We will get your order out as quickly as possible, but with this HUGE volume of orders it will take a week to two for us to caught up.  Thanks for your support!

Please Note: We have limited availability of these.  Our first product run is done, but we only did a small build.  Once they go out of stock we won't have stock for 3+ weeks.   
Orders will take 7 to 10 days to ship due to our large volume of orders right now.

We are just about caught up and we will start putting stock back on the site as it’s available. Over the next two weeks we should have everything available again. We will also have some new products! One of the new products is a top mount 60-2 Rotating retract for Top Flite Kits.  I will have info on the site very soon.

As you may have noticed most all our products are out of stock at the moment. We are not taking orders until we get completely caught up on our back orders. We should be caught up in about 2 weeks and at that point will start accepting orders again.  If you create an account and check the "Allow Promotional Email" we will notify you when we have stock again. Thanks for your support.
