Hi All,It's here ! Got my copy today on Cape Cod which I pre-ordered on 6/8.She's a magnifcent bird !JackDCA 1118

hmmmm, don't guess they are going by dates of pre-orders to send them out, I pre-ordered mine on 6/3/04. My CC hasn't even been charged yet.O well. Hawk

What's the deal? I Pre ordered on May 30th and just checked my account and my CC was charged only yesterday?? People that preorded on 6/8 already have theirs?? How did that happen?? Grumpy in North Carolina (Mike B.)

I'm sorry, Mike and all. Things have been chaotic here in the MAAM office (where I was for 18 hours yesterday, and here I am again at 0645!) We did indeed get some batches of orders out of sequence. On top of over 800 preorders, we get phone, fax, and mail orders in. Obviously I should have been a bit more on top of things. I'm trying, though - my wife will tell you I am VERY trying, if she remembers me ;-) I have only been home from MAAM four days since June 1 and the old motorhome, MAAM-SIM Mobile HQ, is getting a workout. My dogs will probably bite me when I get home tonight. I really have to go, as we will run out of stock today and I will be burning CD's tonight and stuffing the mailers that I'll take home to fill the most recent orders. I spent four hours last night going through everything to make sure we did not miss anyone. Two huge boxes of mailers went out the door yesterday and the final mass of the backlog will go today. I will never again commit to delivery so soon after the World War 2 Weekend Show. We are all running on fumes here and are quite exhausted. I apologize you have had to wait so long, but it won't be much longer now. At the same time, we all want to thank everyone who ordered the R4D - DC-3 and we will have some good news to report about R4D #50819 quite soon.Bill (the pooped) Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, Young, Womack, and Sodjahttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo.gif

Hi Bill: Good going... Got it today and have made a few short hops with it. I can't wait until you get bombarded with "I can't steer it!" comments....lol.. Steers real nice with differential power and brakes.. Now if I can just find the lock tail wheel control.... Going to try to fly formation with the B25 on my home network here if I can make the b25 stay in the air that slow...lol What happened to the "growl" of those engines?? Seems a bit on the tame side as far as the sound goes... Mike B.
