I guess my biggest concern is the attitude of "being taken" as if something was done on purpose..
I really don't think that's the issue.. have some mistakes been made.. ???
Well I guess those of you who know the complete and whole story from both sides can make that determination, as of yet I don't think any of you do..
From what I do know I think Mark and his one man business are doing the best that he can do to get things back up and going, being down to the use of one hand and arm, not to mention the fact that he has a real family to support and a real job probably lend to making that difficult..
I guess I can look at it several ways, one being with this internet world of everything being instant, an internet site being down an hour is similar to a real flesh and blood business being down a day, how many times has this very site been down 24+ hours??
I am a very loyal person and really feel a strong loyalty toward BSD as I feel I've gotten to know the owner at least a little bit and have my own opinion that he is a stand up guy and will get things straightened out just as soon as he possibly can...
On the other hand I enjoy this forum and feel a loyalty toward the members of this forum as well, and can see your points to a degree.
Other BSD threads have mentioned that a business should have and i quote from memory, "redundant, redundant backups".
I guess Aero Tech didn't have "redundant, redundant backups"
This site obviously didn't have redundant, redundant backups when it's been down on numerous occasions, oh but that's right it's not a business, true, but neither is BSD really in the big picture.
It's a one man shop in all actuality trying to do us a favor by making some pretty **** nice kits available to all of us, if you think he's really making money ask some of the others in the business..
One of the reasons Paypal and credit cards are nice, regardless of where fault of blame lies if you don't get your product/service/whatever... you can get your money back.
For those of you with no way to recoup money spent I do believe Mark will get you taken care of as soon as he possibly can.
I hope it works out that he does, and i'll bet he'll find a way to make up to you the iconvenience.
Enough rambling from me, I guess I just hate to see a fellow rocketeer that more than anything else has been attempting to provide to us, get, in my opinion, slammed because he's come upon a serious medical condition.
Could my wife and family take over for me if i were to have a serious medical condition? no .. why do we expect his should be able to..?
Eugene,
Our THOR flew to 5,695' last saturday on a Pro 54 J295, they are beautiful flying birds...
