I like UNIVAIR!

[Guest]

I don't have any connection to UNIVAIR except I send them money to buy parts.

I am probably their smallest customer.

I run a small business rebuilding Aeronca oleos and case frames so I buy my parts for that from UNIVAIR (and occasionally parts for other jobs I do).

Sometimes their prices are a little higher, BUT they have the part, you don't have to wait 3 months for it!

Ever notice that the guy with the great price doesn't have the part? If UNIVAIR's price seems high I mention that when I notice it.

If it is just to high I buy elsewhere, that doesn't happen very often and yes competition is good and keeps prices in line.

I always feel like they want my business, small as it is and I like that.

But they are our neighbors and partners so to speak in this antique aviation infatuation that we have.

When it came time to get my struts I bought from UNIVAIR and am happy that I did.

Keep it up the good work UNIVAIR!

Hmmm, the things you learn on a rainy afternoon, Hi David, we too did Aeronca oleo's ; my Dad Al Barber used to refurb & rebush them too. I recall at age 10-14 standing in front of a small Craftsman lathe turning the bushings to fit. small world. I may have you a customer, we are doing two 7AC's near here. I presume you know Bill Pancake and his lovely child bride!

Hi Forrest, yes I have talked with Bill P. a number of times.

He sends work my way sometimes when he does not want to do it.

Don't know his wife.
