I apologize for sending this to everyone, but my reply to the original post didn't go through.
I've only dealt with Wicks once, when I picked up my original purchase quite a few years ago. We were on vacation, and included a tour of the organ factory (I'm an organist) as well as the purchase of the spruce for the boat. We were treated very well, the wood and other items I wanted were loaded on and in the car, and all was as specified and of excellent quality. That was quite a few years ago, but from what I've seen on this list from others, things haven't changed any. My suggestion to anyone who has a problem, or even a question, would be to call then and explain the situation. I suspect that Wicks will do everything they can to make sure that they have satisfied customers. If you go to their home page, http://www.wicks.com/ you will see that they now have three divisions, and the aircraft one is at the top, above the organs. I wonder if that's where they are making their money these days? -- 73, David, kb0zke EM37ju Rev. 2:10c
