Hi guys

 

We are another step closer to the day when you finaly recieve your collective;)

The switch heads are nearly done and need just painting, stickers and couple of tiny parts. I started routing last few bits that are needed for pivot assembly and throttle grip. Once these are ready the final stage should be pretty quick and easy.

Unfortunately I can only work on them during the weekends because my job is literally "full time" now therefore it's really hard to estimate the deadline here.

Anyway this job is only temporary to allow me buy some equipment for my workshop and furture sim projects so within a mather of weeks I will do full time sim making again.

Untill then I'll do what I can to deliver your kits ASAP.

Will keep you posted..

 

Kind regards Jaroslav

Received an email from 'Jaroslav' two days ago....

Hi

 

The situation is little bit complicated as I'm still stuck with my employment due to my recent eye surgery.

As you might see I have even problem to answer simple email straight away. I'm nearly there with the collective and there isn't much work to do however I can't really make a move at this point.

 

I mean the only picture on my mind now is to get financially ahead then quit this job, finish your orders and start full range of my toys, full time.

The only solution I can think of at this moment is that I send you a full refund and then drop an email once the product is finished and ready to ship.

I'm honestly sorry for all complication and will do everything to keep you as my satisfied customer because your feedback is very important to me.

Please let me know your thoughts.

 

 

Best regards Jaroslav...

Hope Jaroslav has a speedy recovery and returns to making the collectives. I'd love to still get one but I'd also love to try make one for myself in my spare time. Maybe Jaro could post a full list of the parts and tools required. :joystick:

[DSPALLASVI]

Send Jaroslav an email stating the same as 'SyntaxError', plus asking for some more communications... but haven't heard anything since...

[DSPALLASVI]

Anybody heard anymore from our elusive "jaroslav'?

[Icebear]

I tried to contact him, too. But no response.

I am very interested in the collective!

[DSPALLASVI]

Sure looks like those that got involved with him got taken!

[Lobinjaevel]

I don't think that he is scamming,

but some news would be appreciated since he hasn't answered my emails and PM's either.

 

Don't want to "nagg" more on the forums, just hoping everything is okay with him.

 

Last update I got was before summer iirc

[bart]

I was also wondering about this for a while now.

 

Last I heard was there was a delay on the collective levers, he had taken 5 confirmed orders for them (inc mine) and he was offering a refund for those that don't want to wait. I decided to wait but heard nothing since....

[DSPALLASVI]

Hi Bart,

Was recently reminded of him when I was sorting through my 'sent' email folder. Like you, I decided to wait and give 'Jaroslav' the benefit of the doubt...

Have sent him a couple of emails since, but have heard nothing more in return since Oct. 10, his last email... see below:

Hi Herman

 

 

Thanks for you reply. I'm sorry to hear that but I do understand your point of view.

I gues I didn't comunicate much with you as my customers due to high level of stress and I needed to figure things out.

Regarding the "deadline". I'm gonna have to keep my current job for five more weeks. After that I'm back in sim world, fulltime.

So to answer your question, I'll be able to ship your collective by the end of November.

This will of course come with some bonus for your patience.

Please let me know your thought.

 

 

Best regards Jaroslav...."

 

Needless to say, November has come-and-gone quite a while ago now.

Bart (and other 3 "confirmed" customers), the above mentioned email of 'Jaroslav' was in reply to my JUNE email to him... following here below:

Hi Jaroslav,

 

Thank you for your email.

You keeping me as a "...satisfied customer because your feedback is very important to me..." is a tad tricky at the moment, as I have explained to you in my previous email regarding customer satisfaction, how important it is to keeping the CUSTOMER INFORMED. You might want to re-read that part again..., if you still have the email..

 

As it now stands, I must honestly say that in the 'keeping-the-customers-informed' department, you have a pretty poor track record, and that's putting it nicely. Especially since your last email-update was June 29; where we're October 02 now.

It's a good thing I sent out an email to you requesting some info, otherwise time would have just passed without hearing something again.

 

Regarding a refund; what kind of time scale are we actually talking about that you could get the collectives finished, especially now that you're indicating that "...there isn't much work to do..."??

 

Best Regards,

 

Herman...

I'm one of the 5 customers, and I asked for a refund in november iirc, but I still haven't got any answer or refund.

 

I'm really hoping that he will set things right, I don't want a bonus or anything like that.

I just want the product I payed for, or a refund.

[DSPALLASVI]

Wasn't asking for a refund either, nor a "bonus" (whatever that might have meant!).

The way this has been going, I think it might be rather futile to still be hoping for either a refund or the actual collective levers being made, let alone delivered.

'Jaroslav' seems to be rather silent to say the least, and possibly hoping that as enough time has gone by, people will simply forget they paid him an advance for the Huey Collectives...

 

Here's some info for those still seeking 'Jaroslav', and maybe living in the UK:
