.Hi! Everyone,
At the expense of further raised eyebrows in my direction I 'patch' the
following on for your digest.
I find my experiences completely at odds with all the allegations , and I
publish this in the public spiritedness of a Europa Club Member for the
benefit of trying to get the situation resolved for the common benefit of
all. I certainly clearly understood from John Bourne that deliveries would
be at a rate and time to suit my build , could it be that this is their true
intent ?
I have no axe to grind with any one on the issue for or against Goldwing.
IMHO I feel that everyone would have a much easier time if you made a final
reasonable approach to them to establish final instructions/request ,try it
by e-mail ,I got this reply within 15 hours! And I don't think I'm a "soft
touch either"! I paid a good price for extended delivery , changed the
length of wires requested a few times , didn't go for wing strobes , just
fin mount and belly mount, called for wingtip lenses early on, then after I
'cocked up' the shaping of one asked for another pair for a small additional
price they came quickly.
I'm therefore dropping out of this debate from here on in and what's more I
REFUSE TO BE EMBARRASSED ANY MORE !!!!!!

Hi Bob..
We are just back from a break, and admiring the creativity of many people;
be they current customers or not. I will not go into details, but from what
I see, the whole scenario of this soap takes root with Rob Houseman, who
seems prone to writing emails to us in an angry tone, without asking for any
particular help, while on the other hand, opening his heart to the wider
community, on the details of his queries, which could be much easier
answered by ourselves. As for closing down, etc.. That is just some of that
stuff, none of us likes to walk in while walking in the countryside... We
are still supporting our customers, addressing deliveries by common
agreement and according to priority. We never were an off the shelf company,
and will never be. The reason being that as our customers build their plane
parts, they often change their mind on the way they wish to effect mounting
and or configuration.. We show flexibility and alter the orders accordingly,
(some of those who are creating the rash and will remain unnamed are
potential record holders for changing system specs several times on the
way). But we do not mind, we much prefer the serious builder to have
complete satifaction with the finished item, rather than a misfitting off
the shelf item. As for demands for electronics, all builders who have
completed their aircraft and have fitted one of our kits, have gone on the
tarmac with the complete system. We purposefully avoid despatching
electronics early, as in spite of the warnings printed on our litterature,
many people have an urge to "Bench test" their system, we are allergic to
this, as we have had to repair/replace many units in the early life of the
company as units were destroyed by inadequat power supplies, reverse
polarity connections, coiled strobe cables etc..
We will be reading the flack mail rash with interest and accordingly publish
a collective answer in the near future..
You are the only person so far, who has taken the trouble to write to us
directly, and we very much thank you for that. Please feel free to ask any
questions you may have, and we will endeavour to give satisfactory answers.
Thanking you again, we remain,
Yours sincerely.
Yvan
