Pietenpol-List: Re: Prop Hubs

Welcome to the world of William Wynne.Last summer I place 136 calls and left messages. Many times the message centerwas full.None were ever returned.I finally heard from him late in Nov. when he called to inform me that he was sendingmy two cyl. heads viaUPS the next day. Several weeks later they arrived.I'm still waiting on a couple other parts he said he'd send me.Since then he added another full time employee, the guy who makes their videos.He will answer the phone as well as Gus. But, they usually can't answer anyQ's about parts shipment.All I can recommend is keep trying to call and hang up after the fourth ring soyou don't get billed to talk to a message machine. Someone will answer in fourrings if you get through, though not likely William.That's how it is when one has no competition in the Corvair Aircaft Engine conversionmarket.Very smart guy, but lousy business manager.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Prop Hubs

Hi,I sent him a bunch of emails that never got answered regarding his latest discovery of the crankshaft problem. I called in the evening on a Saturday (I think... I know it was the weekend) and WW picked up and I fired off a whole list of questions (asked in previous unanswered emails) which he patiently listened to and gave me good answers to. He told me to call the hangar line (on www.flycorvair.com) whenever I have a question and that he's there late a lot. He said not to worry about time because it only rings in the hangar and he's there quite a bit. It's true that he doesn't have a lot of competition but I'm afraid if he did, tostay competitive he probably wouldn't be able to do the level of research thathe does. (Like disassembling engines from a sampling of aircraft, and takingthe cranks from them to Embry Riddle for magnaflux on a high-end magnafluxmachine, and making public his not so popular findings) Too bad he can't just staff up for the demand. I'd go down and help on a "willwork for parts" agreement if he'd let me
Until then I'll just call at "off-peak"times. They must have some record of what's been ordered and what thestatus is. (I hope) I've ordered videos and his manual but no parts yet. Thesethings all came within days of the order.--------Glenn ThomasN?????http://www.flyingwood.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
