I placed an order for a Loki plugged forward closure yesterday. Got conformation. No Problems. Ordered some Loki reloads about seven weeks ago, got them no problem.
I placed an order on the Flightsketch site on April 28 for a 5.38" E-Bay, got instant confirmation of the order and then nothing even after I emailed last week. I really needed that part at the time too.
Correction... I emailed 2 weeks ago. I've filed for a refund.I placed an order on the Flightsketch site on April 28 for a 5.38" E-Bay, got instant confirmation of the order and then nothing even after I emailed last week. I really needed that part at the time too.

It's too bad that these altimeters aren't open source for both hardware and software.
I realize that they were made to provide income but if they aren't going to ever be sold again ever,
Or at least before we all old-timers croak, a person could get the pcbs made, load the firmware and use the app.
Or sell the IP and let somebody else make them.
Just a thought.

Their SST sounded super interesting.. still shows beta stage. Wish they'd set up their order page with a direct link to the manufacturer of the board.. problem is I'm sure we would have to buy in bulk.. but at least we could do a bulk TRF buy or club buys etc..
Guy was great to deal with for a couple of years.

I've had really good luck with them up to now.
Owner took flight, so now it's just sketch.
I just checked Russ' profile. He has not been on here since March 20th. *sigh*
Absolutely agree. And the Comp is just a little jewel as well.

Or if he is reaching a part of life where he needs to hang it up, find someone to hand it off to.
He's a young guy with a young family and a full time job that has really eaten up most of his time with the remainder going to family (what I had heard as he is local to me). I saw him back this winter at a club launch and he had said he was just beyond busy. Major bummer as that was a great local resource for me. He ordered motors for me all the time before his availability went to zero.
Thanks for the nearby neighbor info. I feel for the guy, I'm like every other retiree wondering how the dickens I had 55 hrs a week to work and commute! Young guy, young family? Been there, done that, raised 5... And they come first. But gee whiz, he has a very good product...
Well, when I last heard from him he said he was "good busy". But as Tom says, it's such a great product. I wish there was some way I could help but I'm literally clear across the country from him.
I'm another one of those retired guys...
