May 13, 2024     Inventory - (3 hours) Category: Research

Started unloading the crate and boxes. Checked off numerous items on the incomplete shipping list. Also received two shipments of fasteners and other hardware which I hope is complete.

Since the assembly manual has no part numbers, only names and the incomplete parts list has names and numbers but not all parts, it will interesting trying to decide what goes where. I'm going to try get a complete parts list with names and numbers all in one place.

  May 03, 2024     Frustration Category: Research

I am totally frustrated. I opened the crate. No shipping list or anything to tell me what was in the crate. Asked for a shipping list, no reply but more parts arrived later. Still no shipping lists. After several requests, I got one that is completely inaccurate since it doesn't list several items like the hull and the engine which are in the crate and lists several items that are backordered. Again ZERO info on when an accurate list will be provided. No indication when B/O will be filled. After many requests, I was told they B/O parts are at the manufacturer in Brazil with no clue when they will be shipped.

Latest fiasco. I asked for a list of fasteners required. I was told a list will be supplied. After another request I was told the fasteners would be shipped the next week. When they weren't, I was then told more B/O problems. Still no fasteners after two weeks. This is ridiculous.

While at AirVenture this year, I did some research on various avionics. I decided to purchase an iLevil Astro Link ADSB IN, ADHARS and WiFi device (among other functions) The folks at the show were very helpful and gave a complete rundown of their other products and the Astro Link met my needs

Research on potential avionics options. Currently have radio and iPad with ForeFlight. Strongly leaning to Trig Transponder, iLevil Astro. Not certain if ADSB Out is warranted based on flying plans.
