I am not looking for condolence and I understand the reasons for delays in parts orders. I just want to know who supports their fleet best. I do follow my own advise by owning at least two Sharons and stocking parts for my own needs. I still have thousands of dollars invested in gliders that I can' fly until winter. I suspect that flyers of other molded ships might be getting better support. I know I am (nothing in the soaring world) except a customer. So again, I just want to know who is best at it. Specific examples of how long it took someone to get up and flying is what I hope to hear from my flying buddies, rather than ( I like so and so a lot) Read my note again. I have no complaints about my distributor!
