From: "Jimmy Young" I think we should all consider the nature of the business he is in, and the hobby we chose to get involved with. I've met Mr. Townsend a couple of times. He, like most experimental-class builder-assist self employed operators, basically runs a 1 man show. Very tough to answer every question, return every email & phone call and still get any work done. Though that may not sit well with some, it's not like you are going shopping at Sears or Lowes. Just try to imagine how many calls he gets from builders who have never spent a penny with him but need advice. I am one of them. I got through to him with a phone call and got a very good answer to my question that saved me a lot of $. It did take a few tries, but that's ok with me as he made nothing from the conversation. I think I owe him at least the courtesy of some support. We are lucky to have people like him around, even if they are hard to reach at times.

From: "mike53" Sorry I'm just not buying it. There is a difference between someone calling with a question that will net zero dollars and someone calling asking to get into a workshop that he has listed on his website.that's all I tried to accomplish.I'm glad he was nice to you though I'm doubting very much that you got him right away.I also believe that he no longer sells the kits because Zenith was getting to many complaints of his ignoring the phone and e-mails. He is a very poor business man and I for one will not badger anyone to give them my money.

Thanks for the article.I still find it a bit disheartening that no one at can -zac could return my calls or answer my e-mail that i sent a month ago. Funny way to run a business.If a business owner can't take 5 min. of his time to answer a question ,my attitude is good luck with your business I'm sure you will get along without me. Sounds very familar... this has been going on for years. Claimed he was the Canadian Rep for all of Canada(joke) for Zenair... but you would never know it... he did not like dealing with customers in Western Canada unless you crossed his palm with $20,000 first. I guess it was a matter a time before he was fired... look st what happened with the Zenair Floats that he was supposed to be manufacturing and marketing in Canada... he lost that too! it was just a matter of time before Zenith took back control of their Canadian marketing and parts sales No big deal... no loss always had to deal with Mexico anyway if I wanted something. It would be nice if Zenith set up their part sales in Canada for Canadians...

Hi Ben, I did buy my kit from Zenith in Mexico Mo. I called Mark because I was looking for an alternative nose fork for my 750 and was considering using an 801 fork. Didn't want to replace the nose gear leg and fork which is what the new 750 nose gear requires, just wanted a better fork. Called Zenith first, found out they don't sell any parts for the 801 & they referred me to Canada. They may have meant the other Zenith place in Canada, but the only one I knew of at the time was Can-Zac. He gave me some good advice, well worth what I paid for it.
