Hey I just want to clear up any misperception about my email. In no way was I questioning Jim King's integrity. If I thought I had the time and the skills to do this kit, I would have no hesitation about sending him a check. My message was that I hope someone will continue to promote this project to get the 80 orders that are required and hopefully more so that model builders get what they want and Jim King can make even more profit through a higher volume. - Earl Henry, Nashville In a message dated 4/16/2011 11:32:49 A.M.

Second the motion on trusting Jim K--his integrity has been impeccable in my experience.

If he gets 80 total reservations he will run with the project. If not he will refund the money minus postage and/or paypal or credit card fees. I sent a check but evidently you can do this via credit card or paypal. Ask Jim. Some I don't trust. Jim, I trust. Your point about follow up messages is dead on right.
