2013 Flying wire group order

[stearmoth]

There would be somebody, who just needs the wing and roll wires, but already has the tail wires! Would there ev. be somebody else, who would just need the tail wires to fill up the complete 5 set order?
We would like to order streamline wires on the top and round wires on the bottom.

Best regards

If you are still looking for flying wire purchase participants, count me in. A ways off for me, but they probably won't get any cheaper! Let me know what you require of me. My email is: jorear@new.rr.com

Hi Jeff,

Thank you very much for joining the group! With you we are a group of six, however, one member doesn't need the tail wires, so this is just fine, that you partizipate!
I will now update our request for an actual quote at Steean Aerolab!

Beste regards

P.S. a picture of our Hatz project (still 4 wing panels and center section to colour paint!)

Hello Hatz group,

I'm a new member to the group, and I'm currently welding up my Hatz Classic project and working wing ribs. I understand a group order for flying wires is being placed, is it too late to be part of the order? If not contact me by email at n700dj@gmail.com.

Regards,

Hi Dan,

I sent your email address to Hans. You should hear from him shortly.

Welcome to the group!

Folks,
I just talked to Dave @ Steen Aero and he is looking to finalize things and place the order w/Bruntons sometime the first week of April. So, time is getting short. If you haven't bought these yet, but plan on needing them in the next couple years I strongly suggest you get on board and order. The savings is significant with more than 5 people (around $800 or $900 per order) and the price only goes up year over year.

Please work with Hans as he is coordinating this year's order and also get in touch with Dave @ Steen Aero (http://www.steenaero.com/ (321) 725-4160 ) and make sure he has your shipping and credit card info.

Time's running out for this round of orders. It can take anywhere from 12-24 months before there are enough people ready to again.

The price jumped 27% from 2011.

Yikes!
Precisely why I can't encourage folks strongly enough to order now if at all possible.

Hey guy, Just wanted to know a couple of details on the flying wire order:

How do the wire fit if ordered (size) from the Makelan print?
Can I only order wing wires not tail wires?
What shape & finish is being ordered?
Does this order include all the ends?
Oh and the big one... is there an estimate of cost & time?

Thanks again,

Hi Dan, Welcome aboard!

I've not heard of anyone having any problems using the Makelan dimensions. Maybe Scott Plischke can chime in here. He just did his first test assembly and by all reports everything seems to have fit just fine. Scott, can you add anything here?

I suppose you can order only the wing wires, but you'd need to work with Dave @ Steen to work that out. Do you already have tail wires?

The wires are streamline stainless steel and include all the hardware: end forks pins, cotter pins, etc as well.

Regarding Cost & time, maybe Hans can update you on that as he is coordinating the order. When I ordered mine a few years ago the group discount price was around $3100 ($4000 if it was a single order). I don't know what this year's price is, but John or one of the others can probably tell us. As I recall it took around 3-4 months from the time the order was finally placed until they arrived.
