MRod Air P12 Update thread

:dito:

Thanks Phil,

I started this,(P-12 project) as a relaxing way to spend my retirement.

Guys,

Please take the time, to read the stellar review done by Wingman, he has left no stone unturned.

We at Mrodair, have posted updates, as soon as we get them either here, or on our website.

The amount of email, and forum response is staggering, to say the least.

We are doing our very best, to respond to all inquiries, quickly and in detail.

Most contacts we receive, have already been addressed either here, or on the website.

Hope this thread, will clear up the wingman review, and make the info you seek easier to
find.

Things are going well, and I’m preparing to make a trip to the airport in just a few days to retrieve our
Precious cargo. (First 20 P-12, M-10, side folder samples, scope samples, and hand pump samples.)

The regs, are about a week away,(or less) Huub tells me they are already assembled and being adjusted right now.

Very very busy round here right now, days spent making parts and sending replies, and nights dealing with our
manufacturers overseas, to get many more accessories for customer support items.

We will be posting a short video, as soon as we crack open the container, and let you all know what’s up.

They got a few finishing touches to wrap up on the boat first, but we are in line next gents.

Guys,

The larger P-12 sea shipment, has not left china yet, we are trying to work out the logistics,
to speed them up as much as possible. (They are making them as fast as they can.)

The Air shipment left china, and landed in Atlanta, and now will be headed our way.

We were under the impression, that it would be a non stop trip. (not so much)

Not a big delay, just thought I would give you a heads up.

Probably cost us a day in shipping time though.

Everything else, is going well, just waiting to get the first batch to make full
runs of our accessory line. We could just whip up the first design that came to mind
but we are trying to be patient, and produce top shelf stuff.

We made enough parts for testing, and some extras for our first customers, but if we can tweak our products
to make them even better we will.

I will keep you posted.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: hahaha as per the above two photo nwes the P12 shipment will reach There in 2050 or in the 2nd life… :rofl:

glad i ordered mine early I got mine coming in the first 20….

sorry bout ya luck

quote junkman:

I need to get a new ISP. My e-mail came a day late it appears. Oh well, I just hope this is not the ship.

I didn’t get my e-mail on Friday, but I’m just glad that I got in the first 100 and that things on Mike’s end have been going as smoothly as they have. I have worked in manufacturing where I purchased and imported components from RSA as well as China and I can tell you that it can be a major pain in the ass at times.
Q: Who cares if its typhoon season halfway around the world?
A: Anyone with a container on the water.

Foul weather, port congestion, labor disputes, Customs puts a ‘HOLD” on your container or puts it in que for X-Ray, etc… We can all be grateful that it has been fairly painless thus far. Many thanks to Mike at Mrodair for putting this venture into motion and to Wingman for shaking out the opportunities for improvement in the product. As with any manufacturer, the people at SnowPeak simply want to produce a trouble-free product in the most economical way possible. Doing so insures that there will be a robust market for their product. There is always a learning curve, but I think that Wingman’s input really boosted both SPA and many of us here along.
