emag supply time
 

I'm sold on the technical desireability of the emag/pmag, but wondering on products availability. I've heard that a large group was expecting their units this month - any news? I plan to order an Aerosport in April.

Thanks.

Call Brad and ask about the time frame. Order early. All you need is $100 to get on the list.

I've got 50 hours on my Emag/Pmag now and they are performing flawlessly.

I ordered mine mid July and got them end of last week. Supposedly the delivery is going to much better now that they think they will no longer be revising them between batches.

Brad said their reputation for long delivery times was deserved and they were improving turn around times. He said I should expect mine in three months days.

You give them $100 credit card deposit and before they ship they will send you an email asking for the balance in the form of a check. I suppose they are small enough that loosing that small percentage to the credit card companies hurts.

Huh? To quote a line from Raising Arizona, "Which is it young feller?". Three days would be sweet!

hahahaha

Sorry about that. Make it 90 days or 3 months, your choice. ;)

That's what I get for editing my post.

I called Brad a few weeks ago and I was supposedly near the top of the list at 7.5 months and counting. They've had my 2 grand for 2.5 months. At least they posted the install manual on their web site, so I know what to expect when it finally gets here. I'm glad I don't absolutely need it right now, otherwise I'd be fuming.

You only need to send them $100 to get put on the production list so do that NOW even if you don't think you'll have your engine for quite a while.

My Mattituck engine is due to be built in the next few weeks and Emagair is sending my 2 Pmags directly to Mattituck for installation and run-in.
I talked to Brad at Emag this morning and, as was said earlier, he was quite honest and candid about admitting the reputation they are getting for slow deliveries is deserved.

What he's working on at the moment is to tweak the programming because the Emag/Pmags are advancing a little too much. I'm told that I'm about 10 down the short list and mine should be shipping in about two weeks.

If it wasn't for the fact that there are actually quite a few of the E/Pmags flying successfully, I'd be concerned. But I think all we're seeing is the difficulties that a new (and successful, in-demand) business goes through. I get a good feeling about what they are doing and that they are putting out a LOT of effort to make the best product possible.
The trick is to just order them early and don't push 'em on delivery time. But order NOW if you think you'll need them in the next year or so.

Just to update this, I did get mine about 2 weeks ago now. I also just found out that they need to go back to change the ignition mapping, but they promise they will be back out within 24 hours of arrival. There is a provision to hook to them to do this serially (this that a word?), but that function is not available quite yet so they have to go back. Anyways ordered July received mid February. They do say that they should be on the final iteration so deliveries will get much better.

Vern,

If it helps get the P-mags to Mattituck sooner, I'd be happy to switch spots with you. I'm not sure if I'm ahead of you on the list or not. As long as I get my 2 P-mags in the next month or two, it doesn't matter to me. It sounds like you need to get the units to Mattituck pretty soon for them to build with them.
