Default If its not already obvious

Stein = straight shooter, if his proceeding e-mail didn't make that obvious.

I had absolutely no interest in avionics or electronics until planning my Oshkosh trip last year (its an annual event for me), and I realized that soon enough I'd be making a rather large investment in this stuff. So my goal was to meet everyone in the industry. Some of the manufacturers were very helpful answering questions (shall I compliment Dynon and GRT too?), but the only retail person, and in fact the friendliest of the bunch was Stein. That, plus his frequent input to VAF has guaranteed him my business. Lucky for me his prices seem to be the best as well.

He actually made that quite clear in a prompt PM after my initial post. It appears e mail is the best com channel for him once you get the right em account.

I need a panel built more quickly than I will ba able to do it and many on this list have convinced me he is the guy to do it.

I've only placed one order with Stein, but it showed-up very quickly, everything that I ordered was there, and his prices were the best that I could find. I have no hesitation about buying from him again.

B&C and Stein have most of the main supplies you need but, for a greater selection to fill in some gaps, try:

www.Digikey.com
www.waytekwire.com

Both have a large selection of usefull items. Terminal boards, fuse blocks, relays etc.

I start with Stein, then B&C then one of the above if Stein or B&C don't scratch the itch.

To follow up on my earlier post... when I've pointed out the missing items from my orders, SteinAir has sent the missing items out right away. But this has happened on I think 3 out of 4 orders with them. I've had zero problems with every other vendor, including Vans.

I'm glad to hear your business is expanding Stein, and you're getting more people on the job. We need a good source for electrical parts besides B$C.
