Hi Dave
There is no allegedly about it we have a different supplier than Curtis.

Hi, Tim !

Is there any chance you could "leverage" the situation with Curtis, through your "connection", and take over supplying everyone ?

It’s not that simple

It never is.

 

[tbonerocketeer]

Curtis supplies Rocketman, Madcow, AMW, Mach1 and I'm sure others. What bites my biscuits is everyone gets their stuff and Ken gets screwed. Curtis uses funds from Ken to fill other orders. I have nothing against the vendors I listed, let me make that plain. Great respect.

Wrong....mach 1 does not do business with curtis.

If you had 100 people, owed $500 each, that is $50,000 in CASH . . .

Dave F.

Let's say your theory is close. Ken had to be making a profit on his sales.
So he should have enough profit to pay back the few who need a refund.

As I have been informed. Sincerest apologies to Mach1.

Hmm . . . Would that happen to be . . . "

Does it matter in the grand scheme?

Folks, please support the vendors like Wildman who DELIVER.

Of course, it does . . . If there is a comparably-priced, reliable business that can do everything Curtis does and more, Rocketry needs them, so Curtis no longer has a "monopoly" over most kit manufacturers !

 

[swatkat]

And agree, That's why I have 10 kits from Mach 1, and one undelivered one from perf. Hobbies. 6 Wildman kits. Madcow is now off my list. Won't support Curtis at all.

Let me rephrase to be more prickly. ITS NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS WHERE TIM SOURCES COMPOSITES FROM!

Happy Holidays!

Justin,

I already know who it is . . . I removed the info from my original post, which you previously quoted, in Post #66.

For reference, my original post is #60, now amended.

Since being "prickly" seems to come naturally to you, maybe you can humble yourself and find the "spheres" to go back and edit out the info you quoted.

I already did so, out of respect for Tim . . . Learn some !

Merry Christmas !

The information is still visible in post #66 . . . I have already removed it from my Post #60, but it was quoted in Post #66.

I have a lots of respect, for lots of people, I don't have respect for those how feel they are owed an explanation/information that is inherently not their business.

I've already edited my post as well. A personal phone call from Tim got that sorted out in a jiffy. One might say Tim and I have a mutual respect for one another.

Now go have some pie and chill, I shall do the same.

Justin,
I sure hope you don't mind my taking this opportunity to deeply and sincerely thank you for your service..
At this time when everything is all about family and friends and enjoying some way to rare time with them,
To learn that a public servant in a similar position to yours has fallen to his own hand can be to much too bear..
The thought of what this Thanksgiving will mean to his family, and what hardships and pressures that puts on all
of those like you and Preston N. makes me so grateful to have those like you and Preston..
Justin,
Please keep in full aware of your own well being ( please read mental health )
and how negative thoughts can creep up on you..
I know you have your priorities in their correct order,, your family means the world to you..
Your keeping your mind in the correct place is for them even more then it's for you..

Preston,
Thank you so very much for your service..

Guys, I missed the earlier post prior to the edit. I will tell you that it is obvious what the source is for Mach1rocketry because they have used a photo that is included on the site for the manufacturer.

Either way, I recommend everyone take a break. The blood is boiling too much and why does it matter if you know the source. I would have never released it. I did that once before and caused a rift.

I bought some tubing from Wildman to make a demo rocket for 3d printed fin cans I am producing for another vendor. If I buy tubing, it is either from Ken or Wildman. I almost bought some this season from Madcow but elected not to buy it. I trust Wildman and will continue to do business with him.

We're a small specialized hobby which relies on various vendor to keep us flying.

Anyone opposed to me locking this thread. It has gotten off course.
