VP-II wings available in Oregon, USA (Or, "How I was coconuted...")
Group,
In April I offered in Yahoo's Volksplane list, for free, a set of VP-II wings, horizontal stabilizer and rudder that I had in storage in Redmond, Oregon when I realized I would not be able to retrieve them for my project. The first person to answer was a certain Peyton Gentry aka Sean Ross aka Lamar Sherwood aka airwolf3117 aka coconutcowboy2002... At the time I was not monitoring the list closely and was not yet aware of this gentleman's reputation, so after exchanging a few emails we agreed that: (a) I will transfer ownership of the wings to him. (b) He would either retrieve the wings from the self storage or assume responsibility for the rent until he could retrieve them. (c) He would reimburse me for a month of rent I had already paid in advance. (d) He would ship to me only the rudder, after taking possession of all the stuff I faxed to the storage place a letter saying I transferred ownership of the contents of the unit to Mr. P/S/L , and he was supposed to take it from there. A few days ago I received a call from the lady running the storage place. Since April, Sean/ Peyton/Lamar has not paid the rent, has not signed and returned the lease agreement mailed to him, certified letters sent to him have returned uncollected, after some initial contacts he is not returning phone calls, etc. It goes without saying that I never saw the rudder or the one month rent I was due. Since he has not signed a new lease, the storage place has just decided I am still the owner of the stuff, and now they are coming after me. Today I received a certified letter with friendly words like "lien on your property", "access will be denied until...", etc. The accumulated unpaid rent is $190 (or $195?) In short: There are 2 Volskplane-II wings and tail feathers ready to be covered. The price has gone up from $0.00 in April to $195.00 today. (This is just rent past due, not a penny for me...) Available to anybody willing to pay that AND immediately sign a lease with the self storage assuming responsibility from now on. If nobody does, the wings will be thrown away or auctioned in about one week from today. Disclaimer: I do not know in what condition the wings are, how good the workmanship is, etc. I asked if they already cut the lock and got into the unit. They did, and I was told me that "the wings are in very good condition". She would not be an expert, so I interpret that as "there isn't anything obviously rotten, bent or broken, and the wood varnish is still shiny" Please email to (do not just reply to this message, I will not receive it) Thanks, Roberto Waltman PS: In case somebody is going to suggest contacting the EAA, In April I did contact a few chapters nearby, offering the wings for free. To my surprise nobody showed any interest. Roberto Waltman. [Please reply to the group, the return address is invalid] |

Like many trusting, generous souls, you've been screwed. No one is likely to pay back rent and sign for an additional rent obligation. Tonight, guys in that area are looking in the paper for legal notice of the sale. They will most likely be able to buy the parts at auction for less than the back rent. I would suggest advertising the sale as much as you can in hopes of the parts bringing more due to more bidders. That would lessen your past due rent. Maybe even put an ad in the paper under the appropriate heading. Good luck. |

Somehow I had a vague suspicion that was happening ... ;-) No one is likely to pay back rent and sign for an additional rent obligation. Tonight, guys in that area are looking in the paper for legal notice of the sale. They will most likely be able to buy the parts at auction for less than the back rent. Yes I was expecting that, in fact somebody that was interested in the wings in April, told me that this time he would rather take a chance at the auction. I was still hoping somebody would consider a $195 a small price to pay to get a head start in a homebuilt project, and would contact me. Fortunately, at least one such person does exist. Sorry guys, the auction is off... Roberto Waltman. [Please reply to the group, the return address is invalid] |
