<span style="font-family:Impact">Viper Kit Update
Okay, first of all I want to thank all of the new friends we have made through this project, all of you, near and far. From right here in America, all the way to Austrailia and England. We love you and have enjoyed getting to know you, and talking to you personally. I also appreciate all of the e-mails and am very greatful for all of the faith and friendly support you have given me. I also want to thank all of you for the kind letters regarding the passing of my best friend, ven though some of them did not get replies, they are none the less dearly remembered and were of great value to me in that period of greif.
As of this moment, I have not heard one complaint out of any of you, with the exception of some jerks in Calif. but that is a forgotten and wasted moment.
You all have every right to feel just tired of waiting and anxious, if you do, concerning the shipment of your kit, or kits. I want you to know that we honestly feel that too. We are tired and angry, because of one thing or another going wrong, or holding the project back from shipping, I wish like hell I had'nt given all of you a shipping time, and then again another shipping time, until I was certain and had everything together and ready to go to the post office. I'm very sorry, from the bottom of my heart, that I misled anyone of you, and feel very bad about it. I really am bothered by this, and feel I must make it up to you all, and in one way or another, I will. That I can promise.
What happened? This is the question that you are all wondering and wanting to ask, but have not. This lets me know that you have faith in me and my professionalism, and I will reward that by telling you all the truth.
When I last had promised on the threads that we were about to ship, we had recieved the final batch of silicone to mold the final parts and all was proceeding well. I was excited about finally being finished and shipping these and was sure that all wuld be well. Then the molds for the canopy and guns did not turn out well, and we were forced to find a trustworthy pro that would assist us in correcting this problem, and in turn also would produce better castings of the parts. I turned to (Spcglider) as you all know and we are all fond of, to help. He did, and it was like I knew it would be, he did a terrific job molding the parts and then he even went so far as to cast many pieces of each. Thank You Gordon.
All was well, and I just knew you all were going to be surprised soon to find your kits in the mail delivery. But once again, something went wrong. And it has delayed us for over a week. Gordon accidentally, I must add, placed an incorrect zip code on the package. And it is lost in the mail system somewhere. One would think surely that the post office would take a look at the address and get it sent to the proper location. But they have yet to correct this. Gordon and I both are waiting, and I have discussed the problem with the post office, and have kept in touch with Gordon, and he has assured me, again today, that it will come back to him, or to me, one or the other. As soon as this package gets to me, this is what will happen, I will gather all the kits, box them and ship them that day, and confirm with everyone, that their order has shipped. And then we can rejoice.
I will ask all of you, to please be patient a little longer, and your wait will be rewarded. I'm certain that this will be resolved soon, and will keep after it until you all have your vipers. That you can trust. The wait will soon be over.
Let me also say that if you have any questions, regarding this issue, or any other about the viper, shoot the questions to me here and now and I'll be more than happy to put your minds at ease with a quick reply.
You all have my home e-mail, and my number. Don't hesitate to call if you need to.
Because of the nature of the project, it has been quite an out of the pocket expense to produce. And thanks to Tom Desanto for being a friend and helping me to produce a great number of kits soon to find their way to you all.
I want to say this, please be patient, you will get your kits. That is definate. We all have not gone through this production for nothing rest assured.
Thank You All. </span>
