Builders;
I mail out 500-600 orders per year. A number of these are single manuals, some are 10-15 part orders, an a dozen or so are engines. I appreciate them all, and try to take care of them in a very timely manner.
.
Many orders from my site, placed before 2pm, go out the same day. After 2, they go the next day. Builders have a choice between USPS and UPS, but in many cases USPS is about the same price, but the service is faster.
.
If I’m busy, friends from the airpark help out, and take the orders 7 miles into town. Today I had Zenith Cruiser builder Dave Wurtz here for a supervised build and test run of his engine. Phil Maxson stopped by and offered to run the days shipments to town. Phil lives 1,000′ north of me on the same side of the runway, and his around the airpark is a classic 1970’s mini bike, ( because we are need a chance to be 12 again, even for a few minutes a day ). The armful of todays packages was not a problem, he rode up to his place with them to get his pickup for the trip to town.
.
It was a funny moment, as these parts will cover most of the distance to their destination in the belly of an airliner, and they well eventually go to work on a builders aircraft, but today, they all started the trip on a very basic for of transportation
