Bulk order of Bungees, put your order in here (was: Bungee Question)

Re: Bungee Question

Chris Tudor's aircraft is based at my home field Leicester; I'm sure I could put the two in touch to make arrangements for transatlantic shipping.

I'll send a few emails, Bob.

Hi Hank, Derby is quite a way from Swansea Wales by UK Standards ( Approx 2 hours by T/craft or 3 hours by Car ) I guess Chris Tudor and myself would need to make our own arrangements unless of course Chris has any reason to come to Wales? In any case if I finish dealing with Company direct ( likely in my view ) then any other arrangement would probably complicate things?

Re: Bungee Question

We are making the 9010HDs for the post war planes at $72.15 a set (4) shipped and the 9090s at $66.39 a set shipped. I only have received payments for 20 of the 148 ordered so far, so you still have a little time. Just send in the payment with the form so we can mail them to you. Make sure you put the contact info on the form and which types you need!

Re: Bungee Question

We now have enough requested to make the discount for the pre-war bungees if everyone follows through! (with a couple extra)

I want to plot the locations on a map so we can figure out some possible locations for getting together for bungee parties. It will help us figure out where we need bungee tools. Who has them? Where are you? (even if you aren't buying bungees at this time).

Hank

By the way, LONG TIME NO HEAR BRIE! Where have you been hiding? What's the good word on ManuSina?

Re: Bungee Question

Hi all,

I am working on a batch of 10 bungee tools now.

Two have been sold already, leaving 8.

They sell for $150 , that includes shipping to a US address.

Price has gone up, used to be $120.

I had to restock all materials and I sub-out some/more of the fabrication now to speed things up.

If I ship to NY or NC I have to charge sales tax.

I expect that within 7 to 14 days that all will have been completed. Will shoot for 7.

I make them in batches of 10 normally.

Dave

Bob,
Are you close to Chris Tudor? Forgive is in the US. We have no sense of how far apart Derby and Whales are, but you guys are the only ones in the UK so far.

Re: Bungee Question

I would NOT use the bumper jack method unless you really want a skylight. There is a member here who makes the best tool I have seen for changing bungees. I am sure he will chime in soon.
As for timing on getting the bungees, Chuck will be picking them up and these are new manufacture to order. I know WAG, ASS and Forrest have some old ones if you can't wait but I don't know for sure the manufacture dates. They could be pretty old. Chuck had some times for how long they take to make after he gets the final orders and as for when it is too late, when we put the order in, so there is still time for stragglers. When I get a chance to send reminders to everyone on the list who hasn't sent back the order form we will be putting the order in.

Re: Bungee Question

Hey Hank, is it too late to get my name on that list? I need a set of 9090's for my BC65, but I will order them from Aircraft Spruce IF we can get them QUICKLY. The owner of T-27 died several years ago, and we all got notices in the mail that they are going to tear up the runway the day after Labor Day weekend. My cords need replacing, so the new ones I will pull out of anywhere that can get me a set of four quickly, but it would NOT hurt to have a spare set in my hanger.
So, can I still get on the list, and who can get me a set quickly?
The A&P at the airport says that all we need is an old car bumper jack with a pipe welded to it to install them, and I'm a little leery about that, WHO makes the best tool that has one that can ship it out to me as soon as he jets the money from me?

Re: Bungee Question

Robert let me call David at sbc and see what he thinks about shipping direct to you. I don't have a emal for him but will get it and pass it on also he can deal with a credit card.He said it is no big thing to run your size when he sets up for the 9010 as yours are just more strands of rubber to make the 11/16. Will call him today and get what we need to get them to you. Chuck

Re: Bungee Question

Chuck,

Seeing as I am a "one off" as it were I suppose I could deal with the Company direct if that makes things easier for you? They are making mine especially for me and now you have set up the deal all I would need would be the name of the person who is dealing with an email address and I could take it from there? I am more concerned to get the correct one's ( 1110 x 11/16ths by 10" round ) as opposed to the price as I have been unable to get them in the UK other sizes yes but those one's no! Just a thought but will be guided by you?

Re: Bungee Question

Robert we have a shipping store here in town they recommend the US post office to send them to you it is by weight so an estimate of two and a half lbs $30.00 to $40.00 dollars plus the $136.32 for the bungees I wish i could do better. I don't work tomorrow so will go to post office and get the price there i have 4 9010 hdx will weigh them to get exact price.Chuck
