New fender strakes

Re: New fender strakes
There has not been any pictures shown here of the strakes since the prototype. A very simple way to end the speculation would be for him to post some picks of the finished units whether they are the few good sets or the damaged sets.

Had they not been able to deliver, I would have understood and taken the loss. But not from a con artist like Root...he is a crook, period...this isn't even close to being the same thing with this kid....maybe you need get your **** straight before you take a poke at me...
I saw that one going pear shaped pretty early while others kept sending good money after bad.The fact remains if you plan to develop a product it has to be done at your own expense, if you cannot fund the project you can really cannot expect anyone else to unless they are in for a cut of the profits. Let's face it this Strake project is pretty cheap to do and should not be beyond someones means, at least up to the custom painting.
The carbon fiber hoods are another similar project, with more money involved in a single part than the skirts. These projects are very risky and in the end left to the integrity of the manufacturer, if he goes belly up or decides he's not making enough money and decides to keep it all, then all can be lost.
Did anyone ever write an official, impartial opinion on the prototype hood? I only heard a word on it at the Dragon by someone who had seen it.
Seventy years has unfortunately made me a cynic.

Poured urethane can be filled with bubbles which have to be filled if they appear on the outside faces.
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. I do enjoy reading the petty bickering.

Can you post a close up of a good set?
Have you sent the undamaged sets out yet?
Any idea of how long before you send the rest out?
Just looking for an update...
Thanks in advance!!!
