Well, what started as a great little fix to a weak part,

by Russ Daves, has blossomed into a huge undertaking

and a good improvement to the RV-10 design.



Originally I didn't know for sure if we'd get 20 people

who wanted Axle Extensions.  Boy was I wrong.



I'm having machined at least 320 of them, for over 150

people around the world.  The quoted costs to do these

parts was originally $125 per pair as passed to the list

by other people, but with a bit of effort on economizing

everything as much as possible except for sacrificing on

part design, the end price will be LESS than $40 per pair

to the lucky OVER 150 people who got on the list.



I doubt I'll ever take on a hair-pulling event like this

again, as it is harder than I thought to get all the

addresses and logistics sorted out, but it sure was a

great thing this time.  Perhaps in the future a more

"for profit" thing will be available.



Sorry to have to add this, but, the list is now CLOSED.

You can inquire, but no guarantees at this point, as

much of the stuff has been ordered and paid for.

If you still need them, feel free to ask, and for a

couple days I'll file your emails away.



Thanks everyone, for putting up with the bandwidth on

the list this week!



NOTE: If you're one of the people receiving the extensions,

I'll be contacting you via email probably later today to

give all the final details on price, timelines, and

payment.  I think everyone will be pretty happy with how

this all ended up.

Although I'll be one of those who isn't getting it, I did get one thing out 

of this. It is rare to have someone do what you did Tim, let alone handle 

150 orders for everyone with no self profit. I'm sure most will be sending a 

gift certificate with their checks in gratitude however.. I sure would!

I said it last week and once again it is proven, this truly is a special 

group and once again it appears you are leading it Tim.

Thanks!

Hello Tim,

 Now I hope you got us on the list before it closed. I sure hope so. Thanks

Sorry, I just realized that it's only Wednesday a.m.

and I told people I'd take the orders until Thursday.

I guess I jumped the gun in my excitement to stop

taking names.  Anyway, since the material is ordered,

I'll still call it done. Sorry for my mistake.  At

least the signup traffic had dwindled a lot in the

last 24 hours as many people had signed up.

All the parts have been ordered already, so it's

too late to correct my mistake and keep going.

If there is still a huge call for these later,

I'll try to assist again.

I think you should do this yearly for those of us way behind in the building 

this year. Maybe throw some other things in too and do it for a slight 

profit so you can pay for the gas to continue "testing" your products!

I thought a good sized bald spot was required for the svelte RV

builder, right up there with a smooth back rivet plate and well worn

bucking bars.

Just my opinion, but if this guy ever lands at any airport with an RV get

together, he should not be buying his own drinks or dinner.
