<DIV>Definitely Tru-Turn. And APC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm sure a couple on this list remember when Bob Obenberger (Mr.
Tru-Turn) showed up at the NATs one year with a station wagon filled with
sample spinners. He was shocked when they were all gone within days - we
were shocked such a nice product existed!!! The bulk of the Tru-Turn
line was developed to fill the needs of competition modelers. Great
stuff.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And, a similar story for APC. Back in about 1988, all the NSRCA
District VPs recieved (unsolicited) a box of propeller from the then unknown
APC. A simple note was inside to the effect of - "please test all the
propellers you can use, find others to test what you can't use, and let us
know do like, don't like, and what else we should be making." I was even
more surprised when I called APC with some ideas and found out I was talking
with the owner who was also a modeler (and still a very competitive
pylon racer).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And companies like Central, Radio South, Aeroslave, PAC, ES Designs, and
Gator (to name a few) have developed products specifically for the pattern
market.</DIV>

<DIV>Tru-Turn !!</DIV>
<DIV>They were happy to swap several prop nut adaptor kits to find</DIV>
<DIV>a fit for a difficult spinner/prop combination.</DIV>

Original message -------------- <BR><BR>> Hi All, <BR>> <BR>> I
want to start a positive thread on our experinces with our Pattern
<BR>> or R/C suppliers. I have had a few that need mentioning. Pleas
lets all <BR>> add to this list. <BR>> <BR>> 1. Radio South...
seriveced my 8103 very fast and tuned it up to boot. <BR>> Very prompt
and did more than I expected <BR>> . <BR>> 2. Aeroslave .... saw
that I sold my Aries on the list. They contacted <BR>> my to check on
my satisfaction and to make sure the sale was not quality <BR>>
related. It was not quality related as per the kit it was the extreme
<BR>> low quality of my bank account that forced the sale. I purched
the kit <BR>> second hand but they put me in the loop with updates and
communicated <BR>> with me like I had purched it from them direct.
<BR>> <BR>> 3. PAC...They supported my purchase's with untold amount
of "answering <BR>> a newbie pattern guys " questions. I never got a
"quit pestering us" <BR>> resonse and I am still flying R/C and Pattern
due to Mike and Maureens <BR>> patience with me. <BR>> <BR>>
Great People all ! <BR>> <BR>> OK I have started this thread. Lets
make it a big one. If you have had a <BR>> positive experince with any
service provider please post it. If its a <BR>> repeat company Thats
even better. <BR>> <BR>> Best Regards <BR>> Bill Southwell
<BR>> Iuka, MS <BR>>
