Default Dalton service

I just wanted to post about the great service I have received from Tony with my 39% 300. I had some damage caused by UPS on my canopy. I had an issue caused by myself on one of my stabs. Tony took care of me on both issues with no hesitation. He has also been very helpful will ALL of my questions I have had the kit two and a half weeks and the fuse is built exept for the hatch, the wings and vertical stab are sheeted, and the horizontal stabs will be done this weekend. I think it would be hard not to build the fuse straight. This is a great kit and I can't wait to fly it.

I'm finishing up my 3ed and 4th 40% 300, and have built two of the 42% 260s. It's the only kit I will be building for the forseable future, first rate service/first rate product!!!!!!!!!

I'm alway's amazed that Tony is able to have any service since he's a one man show. Some may not know but he also does his own glass work. He's got it down to a science and is still able to take care of everyone.

Yes I did know he does his own glass work as well. I must say the glass work is extremely well done. Pin holes are pretty much non existent.

I agree, Tony is great to deal with. I can only wonder if he's working on another kit for us right now. I think a Raven would be awesome, but that's just me. Either way, he's doing pretty good between the 3 different Extra's he offers.

Yeah, A Dalton is going to be my next plane sooner or later. I just have to convince my Mom to cave in to it.

Here is a pic of the 300 after 3 weeks of work. It's not at Tony's pace but it seems to be going quickly. Now I am getting to the slow work.

Well here is my attempt at stealing a Tony Scheme. I am not ready to tackle the checkers on the cowl yet so plain will have to do for now.
