I just wanted to send a shout out and say thanks to Darwin Barrie and Jason Krause of JD Air Parts!
While running at the Reno Air Races this year, during qualifications, I had a failure of my previous tail link (different type, it just became a victim of the beating of our humongous expansion joints here at Stead). I tried a local welder at the airport for a quick field repair, but was not really satisfied with the outcome.
An e-mail to Jason and a call to Darwin later, and they had a JD Air Tail Link on the way to us in Reno ASAP. Darwin actually pulled his personal link off his plane and shipped it himself!
I just wanted to let everyone know how they pulled out the stops, and what nice guys they are!
I ran the link in 2 races on Friday, and promised them a picture of it in front of home pylon. Sadly, the events that day prevented me from taking the picture, but I'll morph one together for them and post it when I can.
In the meantime, just wanted to say thanks guys! Really appreciate it!
Great RV community we have...these are a couple of the good guys!
Cheers,
Bob
