Default very good experiences with them

Have one of their fuel valves for an RV-6A. Very fine piece of work. Years after I bought it, telephoned them to obtain different fittings (male to female). They offered to swap them, no charge. Prompt, helpful.

Default Don't bash the vendors but learn the mojo....

I found myself ranting about a certain experimental vendor once at OSH at the beer social... a wiser man than me stated (very well I might add over several IPAs) "our vendors are unique and operate in an uncertain, often tough to forecast world. Most are as odd as us who choose to build airplanes in our garages... As such, most are just as eclectic or more so." I thought about that for a bit.... drank another beer and decided - I can fly these unique planes because of the very unique people supplying me. I can certainly put up with a bit of odd ball business practices and show some compassion for them...after all, they are probably operating on a shoestring budget, and are family driven like I am. The timeless phrase from stripes comes to mind often when I think they should be as responsive as autozone or Walmart (God forbid)....."Lighten up Francis!!!"

Default My fuel selector doesn?t truly cutoff the fuel supply

I just tested the shutoff position of my Andair fuel selector, as I?m finishing my Rv-10 build and found fuel still flows at a rate of 2 gph. Excellent quality...

Thanks bluskydreamin,
Owen here from Andair LTD. I just want to reassure you all that we are here working our butts off trying to keep everyone satisfied. I've had to 'furlough' 1/2 of my team because of Covid but things are slowly returning to normal. If you have something on order and need it right away please email me (owen@andair.co.uk) and i'll push it through.

Good man....

Cut them some slack, things are tough here in UK and there in US. Ultimately, they make good gear.

Default In my hand

I ordered a valve with custom markings and two fuel filters in April...

Just arrived today via Fedex. Sweet work, very nice quality, just what I was looking for.

They did promise me some expediting a while back but I think the situation simply overwhelmed them. I let it ride and finally got an email from Jenny saying it was on the way. As he said, lost half his crew due to Covid, and this doesn't look like a big operation.

So if you have stuff on order, be patient, it's worth wait!

Cheers
