Sirius Aviation? Recent Experiences?
I saw that Sirius Aviation (www.sirius-aviation.com) had trouble
fulfilling orders 2-3 years ago. Can anybody comment on the current situation? Has anybody purchased spruce from them recently? I'm having trouble getting in touch with them (phone and e-mail), and I'm not sure what to make of it. Carlos |

You can't even get them to take your phone calls or answer your emails and you wnat to know if they'll treat you better if your give them money first? Get a grip man! M I tried to order a hipec covering manual from them. Never got the item, they never charged my card, never answered my emails, wouldn't answer the phone. Are they still in business? -- Take out the airplane for reply |

He bought the plans book for my parasol, then "forgot" to send the royalty payments - for over a year. Last time I takled to him (couple of months ago) he was going to get "caught up", but it's never happened. Probably time (or way past?) to call in the lawyers.... Richard |

Richard Richard What happened to your web page? Are you still selling plans? Jim Stockton Hi Jim, Thanks for asking about it. Sirius is _supposed_ to be selling plans, but it ain't happening. Or more accurately, not paying up on the sales they have made. (and yes, you may all say "I told you so") Without an income from plan sales my web site just got too expensive to keep, so I took it down. As a result of all this mess, I've decided to publish a CDR with the full web site, a few hundred additional pics, and a complete set of study plans for a modest price. ($35.00?) I've also been drawing up a completely new set of plans detailing this new larger parasol with a VW engine installation, and a new wing for the higher weights and speeds. (Take note that a full blown 2180 can weight OVER 200 pounds!) But I don't know when they will be finished and published. It probably takes as much work to draw up a set of plans as it does to build the airplane! I finally found a newly anointed DAR to inspect it. Should happen in the next couple of weeks (!?!) I have set up a (small) new web page up at http://home.earthlink.net/~n6228l/ to document the completion. Take a peek! Richard Lamb |
