RAM Controls - Star Wars Flight Yoke
TPB:
I'm looking forward to the completion of this controller, which has real potential.
It will make a great addition to any panel.
But let's not pretend there was never a communication issue.
** Mamemaster pulled the plug on his pre-order, and received a refund, after complaining on BYOAC (read his posts in this thread).
... full marks to David on giving Mamemaster his refund. :applaud:
** Havok, while patiently waiting on his yoke (great to see), was feeling pretty disillusioned recently, by the lack of communication (read his posts in this thread).
Those who don't believe that someone running a business has an obligation to communicate with their customers, after accepting their cash ... that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. :)
TPB:
Regarding the myth being perpetuated by some, that there was "never any prior indication, that the pre-order folks would receive their product anytime soon" ...

I guess I don't get it, either. I've not seen any indication that David misled anyone into believing that the yokes were ready to be released upon order. ...

... what's your definition of "Complete unit nearing completion", which was proclaimed almost a year ago ??
Also refer to the Star Wares project blog. Havok is patiently awaiting an update to it (read his posts in this thread), but it still hasn't been updated since May 20, 2007 ... he's not asking for weekly updates, or anything like that ... but it's been over 8 months since the last update :

Havok:
Hang on a sec there - David did state there were legal issues involved with him separating from a partner in the business, and he does not have control of the website any more, hence the lack of updates there. David has been giving updates here, and via personal emails, so I'm good now. I just got concerned when there was nothing for a straight month, but with the latest updates I'm ok. Now that David has stated he has overcome the powder coating problem, I would think we are just about done waiting. Why don't we all take a month off this thread and check back then? I would think that would be enough time to finish...
TPB:
OK Havok.
My misunderstanding.
I wasn't aware there were legal issues with updating the website.
A few days ago, you had requested a blog update :

This new information, (loss of control of the website), doesn't invalidate anything I've said, apart from the lack of update to the project blog. For that, I apologise to David. :notworthy:
However, he had control of the website on February 9, 2007, when he proclaimed "Complete unit nearing completion".
I just hope though ...
If he's lost control of the website, it's not a good sign.
I just hope he hasn't lost control of the rest of the business. :dunno
dirt:
and thats why yo uhave no business speaking for other people when you dot even have the whole story. DUDE, LET IT GO!!!!
