Hooker Harness Group Buy
Fellow Builders,
With Doug's permission I would like to canvas interest in initiating another Hooker Harness Group Buy. Looking up the archives it's approximately 2 years since the last one was conducted and I'm hoping there will be enough builders interested to support another Group Buy. Cheers, Greg:) |
Harness Group Buy
I'm in for an RV8...

If they arent game, how about Crow. Seems lots of builders have been very happy with theirs if Hooker isnt interested?
|
Thanks for asking, Greg. For a couple of years now I've had a policy of limiting the use of the forums for group buys to companies that advertise on the site (anywhere in the site - not just the forums).
Not trying to be a tool....just trying to keep Coco Puffs in my kid's stomachs. If they would be interested in advertising (and some of the ads can be had for literally a dollar a day), they can contact me here. Kindest, Doug |
Thanks Doug,
I sincerely understand your position. Hoping it will be OK to judge the response through this forum and then get a reply from Hooker Directly stating the 'Potential' interest with a rider for their contribution to further advertise on your site. I would be happy to facilitate this communication though not wishing to stand on any toes either. Cheers, Greg |

I can release the the two belts and pad with one hand in about 3 seconds. To add a little more cushion on the shoulder harnesses, Wal-Mart has some of these too: http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/t...atbelts006.jpg You may also notice the black thing in the back/front of my hat that holds the spectacles down during negative Gs so I can read my instruments.

Doug, would like to send you a copy of the email I forwarded to Scott for your information. Can you please send me a note to reply to? Hoping we can put together a great deal for everyone here. Cheers, Greg |

Hooker/Crow Harnesses
Need something for my soon to be completed 7a...I'll see which brand you guys go with..I'm interested...
|
count me in as well
Put me down for a set of Hookers. The Vans set just doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies upside down either :)
|
We are just about ready for paint. Haven't made plans for belts yet. I'll check with the other partners and let you know, but probably. This will be for a 10. Haven't look into hooker for the ten, should be good? What are other ten builders using. I did ask at the Hooker booth at Sun & Fun and got a sarcastic responce. Don't know if I want Hooker come to think of it. Hopefully he was only a sales rep.

Hooker Harness initial reply
Builders,
I today have made contact with Scott (Hooker Custom Harness) and dialogued both through email and phone. To this end I have copied his initial reply below for your information: .............We are currently preparing for Oshkosh and will be gone throughout the show and will not return until 3 August 2009. We are currently considering your offer.............. In line with the original intent of this thread and Doug's kind permission, please only respond if your interested in participating in a Hooker Custom Harness group purchase. It is my hope that Hooker will support all interested parties with a mutually acceptable deal after they return from OshKosh. Sincerely, Greg:) |
you can count me in for a set of hookers for the Rocket.
Ryan |
HOOKER
Add my name to the list contingent on the Hooker offer falling into the reasonable catgory.

Hooker harness
I would be interested in a Hooker 5 point for my RV-7A George Bucks

Been waiting for this for a few months - I too want some hookers.
Count me in for a set for an RV8 eddier |
Interested
I would be interested as well for a RV-7A.
Scott Ahrens |
anyone contacting Crow?
I too would rather go with Crow. Has anyone approached them to advertise here and offer a group buy? Maybe a little competition would be good.

+1 Set for my RV-7 - HOOKERS!

Put us down for a pair for our 9a thanks Greg

Go Crow! Those guys are very helpfull, appreciate you as a customer and are a family ran business.
Quality is just as good or better and you can have your harness made however you like it. Their prices are already way lower than even a group buy price on Hookers so I am sure that there is not much room for them to drop their price. |
Crow
Im in for a Crow Group Buy if someone kicks it off
Thx |
I 'll contact Crow
OK,
I'll contact Crow and see if I can get them interested in advertising and a group buy. No need to reply, but I'm going to assume for my own purposes that anyone that was interested in a group Hooker buy would opt in for Crow if that became the only option. David Dalton |
Yes, I've used the Crow set up on both my RV-10 and RV-7. They are very comfortable, and Fred Crow is wonderful to work with. Will do it again for the current 10, so I will wait to see if we can get a group buy going. Thanks!
Vic |
Hooker only for me!
Thanks for your input David,
I purposely didn't want this thread to become a 'bidding war' or 'vendor bashing' arena. I was interested in the Hooker Product and to that end wanted to extend that to anyone else interested in their product as well. Please feel free to do as you please with CROW though I will stick with the Hooker for my RV. Additionally thankyou to the already 23 builders interested in the Hooker. Scott has already indicated he is considering the query and is responding after he returns from OshKosh. We owe it to him and to Doug in hosting this together to work out the extent of what they can mutually accomplish. Cheers everyone, Greg:) |
