Pre-order customer since 4/25/07 excited about the Yoke!
Hi Dave!
Awesome!!!
I've been one of your long-time loyal pre-order customers... since 4/25/07!
Can't wait to see mine... the wait will be sooo worth it.
On the 21 of December, 27th of December, and 3rd of January 2010 I sent you some emails regarding my shipping address, but I haven't heard back. Any news?
Thanks,

Last I heard on the BZ centering grommets, Dec 17th..
"Almost done. I never did get enough pre-orders, but I went ahead and forked over the cash to buy the materials. LOL. Anyhow, I'm a little backlogged because I'm spending most of my time trying to get these star wars yokes out the door. I should have them available sometime soon, though."
So if it weren't for Havoc having to get his SW yoke we'd have our Bellows by now
I guess it's just FIFO

Appreciate your response Talon
I do know what it's like, when you are flat out, and all you want to do is finish something, we all know. . . .
Keep up the good work Dave

Well Dang, then Dave needs to hire me at some crazy high salary, move me to Sunny Cali. Then I can keep a whip on him at all times.. On second thought, that sounds like a job for Phet?

love his work, awesome Yoke!!!!
BUT.....
Havok doesn't have his yet???
i have sent several pms and even other orders on his site to combine with yoke since i was one of the 1st that paid....no responses on anything? trying to be patient, but i guess not enough just to get an email or response that he has received any of my payments at all. i'm sure David is swamped and understand that meaning, but email/pm a brotha back!!!
any idea what's goin on???

I got an email from Dave, re the BZ bellows.
He said he would send an alternative earlier model (yellow) x 2 to me
Unfortunately they haven't arrived, despite 2 weeks passing by.
Anyone else feel a bit gullible here but me?
I am in business too, personally I wouldn't treat people like this, but that's just me.

If you feel gullible, I recommend you go source the materials and make your own. Sometimes you gotta wait. How long did we wait for repro HV parts for the WG6100 and Amplifone? I would like to remind everyone that sometimes people's "real" jobs get in the way of this hobby. It is a hobby/business and most certainly secondary to Dave and I appreciate everything he has done for us. He financed these projects with his own money with only minor deposits (in the grand scheme of things) to get the ball rolling. After initially selling parts to Dave, I donated boards, artwork, and parts toward these projects and I asked for nothing in return with the exception of a few things. He has more than paid me back with unsolicited parts and pieces.
I'm am still patiently waiting on BZ bellows, LL control panel, and dedicated Havok cabinets. I think if I have one of these in the next year that will be fine. I don't expect to have all three for at least 3-5 years. I do know however that everything will be top notch and I will be very very pleased to get them. My recommendation to you is to find another project while you are waiting or pull some used bellows out of some other joysticks and move on. They will get there eventually. Being sick for several weeks throws a huge wrench in both hobbies, and real jobs, and catching up can take twice as long. I had the exact thing happen to me at the beginning of the year and it really knocked me back on my time schedule. I am just now getting close to saying I am caught up on recent transactions.
However, that being said, I do owe Raven stuff that he has been waiting years for. He has the patience of a saint. All I can say is that he will be rewarded for his patience. I'm sure Dave will do the same for you.
Peace

Here's the problem.
1. He takes orders for parts and then doesn't ship them. He tells people they shipped and weeks later nothing arrives. This alone makes me feel gullible I paid for a part that was to be shipped and now all I have is a payment sent reciept from paypal.
2. He says through an intermediary that he will answer all emails and IM's and again he does not. So he can answer someone about the BZ bellows but not answer anyone about the yoke?
I understamd he was sick and that it takes time to catch-up, my problem is lack of communication.
If he showed up on here and posted his progress we would feel better. Like I took 100 orders while I was ill and 10 are now shipped etc. It would give everyone a better sense of where we stand.

I don't think the issue is with waiting. I think the issue is with being told that items were shipping when they clearly were not. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

100% correct + the lack of communication
Panasonic hasn't shipped my 65" V10 since before christmas but they never said it was shipped. Instead they keep telling me where it is.

I have to say this isn't like David to stay away for so long. Has anyone heard from him? He's also been silent over at BYOAC. Hope nothings happened to him.

That is only 8 days ago.
Also, he said he was alive on 1-13-2010.

Hopefully he can start getting stuff out to folks.
