Hey guys,

I'm placing an order for a raven2 Alt, if anybody else what jump in on the order, give me a yell
ashley@clanwars.net.au

When exactly are you placing the order?

I am 100% keen, it is just a matter of making it work with my pay cycle is all. The reason I know I am 100% keen is that Lyndall IS buying me one for my birthday and if we can save on shipping that that is just dandy to me!

End off the week, there abouts, I'd be happy to hold off until next week if needed.

I'll need it for a couple launches in october. so as long as it before then I'm happy.

Adrian is pretty quick to ship if he has them in stock. My first Raven took less than a week to get here and my Raven 2 took just over a week. The time taken to contact him to make the order and finalize payment takes a couple of extra days.

You will not see Australia in his list of countries in the Featherweight store, but he does ship here. You just have to send him an email to arrange it and get a quote for the shipping.

I should be cashed up by mid next week, but I will just need to confirm with the "financial controller" that its cool.

Thanks Lamp,

I sent an email asking about Australia not being in the list, just waiting for the reply.

Hi EMiR,
Thanks for the offer of jumping on the order. Yes please. I'll take one.

I won the Fathers Day raffle at work so that is a worthy target for the cash prize!

How will the payments work out though? Do we pay the supplier direct, or through you?

Whatever happens I need to sort it out by Thursday as I am OS for three weeks then.

I emailed him a while back and he never got back to me. I finally got onto him through PM on www.rocketryforum.com.

He told me shipping would be $20, but I didn't ask about multiples as I was planning to purchase only 1x.

Oh, and I have the nod from the financial controller to pull $$$ from my next pay on Tuesday next week for it. I hope that is ok?

Adrian has always answered my emails, but as stated, he is a regular on Rocketry Planet and you can PM him through there if you have no luck with email. I notice he has been at Airfest in Argonia but as he has just posted in RP, I presume he is back. Ash, if you cannot get him through email and do not have (and do not want to start) a login on RP, let me know and I'll message him for you.

The altimeters are pretty small and the post pack box he uses should be able to take 4 ravens in their little transport boxes, the only question of added cost would possibly be due to weight.

Payment; might be better if we all order and pay raven directly, and we'll just let Adrian know to ship in one package.

If you haven't got a CC or paypal etc.. and you want to go through me to pay, thats ok, let me know and I'll add it to my CC.

Lamp, might be good if you email him, just let him know we'd be after 4 x Raven2 Alt (2 for me), and some screw switches. Also that we'll ship in 1 package.
But we still gather Orders, and that we'll be placing and pay for the order next week or the following week.

See if he'll do a cheaper price if we get 5 or so?

I know Adrian does not make much out of these, he does it more as a hobby/service than a money making exercise so I doubt he would offer a discount.

I'll send Adrian a message....

If you don't ask then you definitely will not get a discount.

I should be able to CC it direct to Adrian.

You should see an email soon Ashley.

Here is the response I received from Adrian:

Thanks, Pete. I have been distracted by travel for launching my own rocket at Airfest, but I'll try to catch up on the emails and the orders tonight or tomorrow. Indeed, I would be happy to ship to Australia, and to combine orders to save on shipping if any of you are close enough to each other for it to be worthwhile.

Adrian launched his scratch built 2 stage high altitude project called "Violent Agreement" to a GPS recorded altitude of 25,000' but had a partial recovery failure of his sustainer resulting in some damage and the loss of his nosecone and Av bay .

Adrian is running off a new batch of Ravens, will be ready in a week or 2,

So far we will be ording 4,

If anyone else wants one give me a yell before this time next week.
(PM or ashley@clanwars.net.au)

Finalizing the order on the 21/9/10
