O.K. everyone, we just hit the 30 people confirmed mark late this afternoon. So, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who honored us with your business! We still have until Monday 03-31-08 for anyone else that wants in or waited to see how deep the discount went (we maxed it out to 30% again). Most of the exchanges shipped already and we will finish those up and start shipping the group buy kits on Monday. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Also, a very special thanks to DR for all he does.

Best,
Jeremy

Having only finished the emps...and still waiting for the QB wings and fuse to arrive, thus a couple of years away from anything like cowling...I haven't done any thinking or research about cowling fasteners. But am interested in group buys! What should I be considering in this buy? And, why does it not appear in the VAF forum for group buys?

I'm building a -9A.

Hi Ralph,
First you are right, this is a bit down the road for you at this point. So, take your time and make whatever decision you are comfortable with when you are ready.

The debate of cowling fasteners, stock hinges or a combination of the two is a heated one at times. Not as bad as ?primer wars? but, there are varied opinions that you will hear about and eventually come to a personal preference on. Search the threads and you will see what I mean.

The reason this particular thread is not in the regular group buy forum is that this offer was not initially intended to be a ?group buy?. We have done some groups before over the years and from time to time made improvements to the fasteners and kits we offer. Subsequently, I started this thread as a non-profit offer to upgrade the fasteners people had purchased earlier to our modern (better) standard. During the discussion of swapping out parts, one of the newer builders asked about starting another group buy because they missed out previously. After some additional interest was expressed, this thread morphed into a dual headed beast. First for the exchanges, and then a group buy for builders that didn?t have ? turns yet but wanted them for their aircraft. I asked Doug if it was O.K. and he was gracious enough to put a post on the front page of VAF. After that, I sort of took the reigns because I figured he had enough on his plate already. You can still see some details about our previous group(s) for these fasteners in the ?official? group buy forum and by searching the threads, although the dates are older. Any way, if I can be of assistance, give me a call or e-mail at your convenience. In the mean time, keep bucking those rivets? you will be flying before you know it!
