KR> Small Vendors and tasteless remarks
Ok, ?I guess I'm going to have to chime in one more time. ?My opinion Steve and ?NVArow has done more for the kr2 movement than anyone else and with him getting the rights (I guess) to the plans. He can keep them in stock so he can ship them them alot faster.?The issues I have for ANY company is that they take your money and don't comuicate with you when there is a unreasonable delay. ?I understand things can held up or not under there control. But when this happens the company has a responsibility to keep their customers informed.? Again just my opinion.?Excuse my grammar. ?I'm not a very good writer.?

KR> Small Vendors and tasteless remarks
It's not just a Southern California thing. As a small business owner serving the E-AB community, I can tell you there are very few vendors in my boat who are doing their aviation stuff as their only "job" - and I believe only a very few are making any money beyond covering costs. The majority are operating at a loss, investing money earned from other work to keep the av activities alive. I promise you this: if customers had to pay for items with the costs of the labor of the one-person operation factored in at rate that was reasonable and accurate, they would be yelling that they couldn't afford it. If you want to save money and have your components right at hand, on your schedule, make them yourself. It's not a mystery. But figure out how much your own time is worth per hour and include that in your costs. Chris K. On 8/10/2016 3:39 PM, Jeff Scott via KRnet wrote: > ...
