I've received word from the gentleman who makes these for me. This was a large order, and he thinks they will be ready and shipped to me mid-week. It takes 2-3 days for me to receive them.

When ordering or with any correspondance, PLEASE include your screen name AND your Christian name and if you want an 8mm or 10 mm tool... to avoid any confusion.

Thanks,

Al

Today I returned from a business trip to find a box of Lepton (8mm) and Logo 10 (10mm) swash leveling tools. I will ship all paid orders first, as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Al

Al,
How about putting out feelers for a Swashplate leveler for the T-Rex size machines (5mm shaft)?

I can send you a shaft and a swashplate like I did for the Lepton.

Gus...

Hi Marc,

yes I have one of each 8mm for Lepton and 10mm for Logo 10/EVO 50. I can ship internationally. I will send you a pm with quote for both tools shipped.

Hi Gus,

Doing any flying yet or still to windy/rainy ?

I will check with my supplier and see if he is willing to take on any additional orders. As before, he has a minimum order of 10 units.

Thanks,

Al

Al,
Just finishing up the wife's flower beds. Did a little with the E-EVO 50 and Lepton. Killed a servo in my T-Rex, so am now waiting for a servo.

Weather is supposed to be nice next week, so I should be able to get all of my birds in the air.

Let me know what your supplier decides, as I am interested in a tool for my T-Rex also.
Thanks...
Gus...

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it.

Luis.... I'll check orders and inventory to see if I have one for you. I think I do.

I was unable to get to the post office on Thursday as planned, but I did get paid orders shipped Friday morning. Work is overwhelming me right now. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Yesterday I was at the post office mailing another Lepton tool when I asked about international rates. I was told there is no longer "Global Priority". It's either First Class or Express and she told me Express was $22 US !!!! I got the whole story about how in the past, USPS paid for space on airplanes by the square inch and how the USPS has been losing money, thus the increase. First Class padded envelope used to cost $.63 is now $1.30 within the US. Employees are not properly updated as I get a different rate each time I ask a different person. This makes it difficult to know what to charge for shipping and not overcharge anyone. I have one Lepton tool going to Hong Kong and the clerk at a different post office quoted me $1.30 for First Class to Hong Kong China. That's the same as the US domestic rate ! ?

I will check at the post office I use the most and get quotes from them. In the meantime, the $8.50 US for "Global Priority" is no longer valid. Stay tuned....
