hansangb Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Yes, he's communication is *top notch*. There are others who sell high end sim gear that's not as proactive with email notifications. Which - for me - leads to a lot of unnecessary "is it shipping?" "did he get the order" etc. Clearly it's a work of passion and it shows in the product. Highly recommended.

FeistyLemur Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 1771 already, he's made a lot of pedals in just a few months from my 1300 series. The enthusiast flight sim community must be larger than I thought.
hansangb Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 He has family that's helping him with the manufacturing. That's how he caught up. I hope his furniture business is not hurting! :) Thank god for people like Milan for giving us quality products!! hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1

Headwarp Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 This first week of march has been like the longest week of my life.

Hiya mate, it's a killer waiting but, by all accounts, well worth it. I've posted the delivery progress just to illustrate the route my order is taking - all was going well but progress appears to have ground to a halt at Neufahrn. I was expecting delivery today (Wednesday) but I don't think this will happen now. That said, in the past, I've been gobsmacked at how quickly some things can be delivered from Europe. I remember once, I purchased a steering wheel and pedals from Fanatec in Germany. I placed the order one afternoon and tracked the order via the UPS mapping system throughout the night - it was totally fascinating - the UPS driver pulled up outside my address in England at 0720hrs the following morning - what an amazing service.

dburne Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I remember mine showed stuck in customs in FL for several days, and the day before Christmas it still showed there and I decided well it will be maybe the next week, and shortly afterwards the doorbell rang and there they were. I sure was not expecting them that day at that point.

Out of interest, when did you order your MFG's? Slicker, mine followed the exact same route as yours, and then no updates once it reached Germany, same as yours. The next day WHAM jumped to parcel out for delivery, arrived at 0930. Fingers crossed for you it's the same and you get them tomorrow Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something. Plato
