Hello,
My name is Mr. Michael Mccarthy, I have contacted you before without any response from you. Please replied if you receive this message. I have something very important to discuss with you, I have a vital information to give you. Could you please get back to me on (mmichaelmccarthy4@gmail.com ) for full details.
Michael Mccarthy.
Thanks Fred. Can you send a few pictures please. My email is tim.crumley@outlook.com and phone number is 864-346-4893 if text is easier. Talk with you soon.
Hey Fred!
I finally got the cylinders in the mail from WW. No pistons or con rods though. That was several months ago. No word from him either. How much did the heads cost? How long is Mark backlogged. Did he say why he doesn't get the heads out? He's had mine for almost 2 years. How can those guys stay in business?
I wonder if I pissed them off or something?
Lesson learned, never pay in advance.

Fred - I made the nosebowl trim rings by re-engineering a couple of recessed light trim rings. I figured out a way to bend the flange so that the curve matches up with the contour of the nosebowl. They're spun aluminum. The spinner is a Vans FP-13 (13") fiberglass spinner - the one recommended by WW.
It felt like the pride of having a baby until I remembered it didn't take any brains to procreate!
Passed checkride today. Finally! I failed on one aspect of my first ride and had to come back to do it over. It was such a bummer to have to wait so long to finish up!
What a feeling to be called a Pilot!

I'm sitting for the checkride Saturday. Wish me luck.
Any word Back from WW yet?
I wish you luck. I feel that if I get too aggressive with him then I'll be blacklisted.
He said that he'd ship me the stuff in a month. I'm giving him until I pass my check ride on the 26th(fingers crossed). I don't have the mental energy to do battle with so much on the line in the near future. Keep in touch!
Tim K
BTW I bet he'd respond from people like Zenith since they sponsored him at the factor????
I ordered the whole deal from him August of 13. He owes me the intake and exhaust, distributor, pistons, cylinders and rods and probably some other stuff as well. Its hard to keep up on exactly what he sent and didn't.
