Subject: | 1929 Ford Tri-Motor |
Hello everyone.
Yesterday, at Marana Regional Airport, a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor air
transport flew in to land. The new owners purchased it at an auction in
Phoenix on Saturday.
Airline transportation has changed since 1929.
Enjoy.

Subject: | Tru Trak DigiFlight II Auto Pilot |
Hello again
I'd like to provide everyone an update on the problems I've had with my
Tru Trak Auto Pilot.
This morning, I called Tru Trak and spoke with Lucas in their Tech
Support area. I explained that the latest failure happened Saturday
morning when the LCD display blanked out. His response was, "Yeah, we
have had a lot of problems with those displays. We have been looking for
another company to outsource to, but haven't had any luck." Then I
said, "You're telling me that you know the units are bad and you sell
them to your customers anyway"? Lucas said, "Well, if we didn't sell you
the product we would go out of business and you wouldn't have any
service"! With an attitude like that, they should go out of business! I
ask Lucas where the units were made. China maybe? He said, "I don't have
any idea. We don't build them, we just sell them. As far as I know, they
are pieced out to various sources and then assembled somewhere else".
What the hell has happened to businesses in this country? They don't
give a rats ass about product quality or longevity and they care even
less about the customer! Their only concern is profit. Our country is
currently in a serious recession and I feel bad saying this, but, maybe
it is a good thing. Maybe it will weed out companies like Tru Trak and
we can begin again. Maybe the companies that survive will revert to old
values from the 50's and 60's where quality and customer service is
paramount.
Thank you for allowing me to vent.

I have heard a lot of good about TruTrak. It is too bad that a single
Tech Support person can change that perception. All of there management
are listed on there site. See if you can contact one of them. Chances
are they are nor aware of this attitude and would be very interested in
hearing about it.

Gary,
Sorry to hear about your experience with Tru Trak. Try talking to Zach. In
the past he's been very helpful to me. Also, please call them back and ask
to speak to the owner. I'm sure he'd like to hear about your experience.
We've had pretty good luck with Tru Trak in the past and I even bought one
for my own project. Please let their management team know your concerns and
give them a chance to make it right.
