Re: Re: Chip order from Ram controls

So, all in all, does this mean to stay away from RAM Controls? He claims to be selling a cockpit Star Wars blank control panel that I really need :-)! Also, what's this I hear about cockpit Star Wars art :-) ... is this for sale now :-)????

Couple of years back he asked for a free sample Major Havoc SD CPO, and get this, a free set of Star-Wars Cockpit side-art (all 54sq ft and 10 pieces worth) and some Black Widow side-art, backed up with big promises of how he was doing a big run of repro-cabs and I would be his preferred artwork supplier yadda yadda … I sent one CPO by FedEx. He denied ever receiving it, even though Fedex proved 'someone' had signed for it. I gave him the benefit of doubt, and sent another by normal airmail. And guess what, that apparently that went missing too ….. In the amount of time he's spent typing lengthy excuse emails he could have completed some of the ambitious projects he bangs on about.
