Is it just me or is this typical?  I've called and left messages and emailed Craig and have had zero reponse. Does anyone know why??

This aviation business we're in is populated with  very small entrepreneurs, many are one-man businesses.  The good ones are  overwhelmed with getting the product out the door, and have little time for  "administrative" work.  We're not dealing with large corporations here,  just little guys working out of their garages.  Accept it for what it  is.

  

 Craig is a super nice guy,  very honest, very  trustworthy, and stands behind his product 100%.  And he puts out a very  nice product.  My suggestion is to just keep telephoning.  Sooner or  later he'll pick up that phone.

Hi Bernie-

  

 It seems Mr. Catto has a product in great demand within the RV community, and an impressive backorder to fill.  Be persistent- it's worth it.  I'm quite pleased with my 3-blade after 415+ hours (150 hp -6A) but if you need a prop soon, maybe another source would be quicker!  Last I heard, his deliveries were running as much as 9 months from order, but I haven't communicated in over a year, so it may be worse. 

  

 Good luck!

 Mark

I also have a Catto prop on order and have been unsuccessful in 

contacting Craig.  Others have said that they have recently talked to 

him.  Earlier in the week I mailed a SASE asking about the status.  Will 

let you know if I hear back from him.  I am not worried yet but he does 

have $1,000 of mine.

My suggestion is  to assume a one year delivery and 

 specify a date  based upon his stated delivery time. 

  

 If you need it  next May then order now with a estimated 

 delivery  date in Feb  2008.

            Three blade  catto.. rv9a slider , fixing to start her up for the 1st time in a couple weeks..  

             so close to flying its starting to get excited / scared at the same time..  order way in advance..

It seems like alot of people are waiting for these props and can not contact the manufacture. How did you ever get a hold of him to order the prop, I'm guessing a web site? Then you sent him $1000 without ever talking to him and getting a estimated delivery date? It seems like all the orders do finally get delivered but I would really want to talk to him and get a realistic delivery date from him before sending him a check up front.

 

 I sent money up front for my interior  from Classic Aero but I talked to the manufacture on the phone and was given a delivery date each time I ordered something from him. I received order within a couple days of the date I was given, usally before. He also answered the phone every time I called to place the order.

 

 If I was going to order a Cato prop I would call to order it, if no one ever answered the phone I would think real hard about sending money to him.

 

 Yes this is just my opinion

Would love to have one of his props on the plane, but the airplane has flown 60 hours with rotary and am converting it to lycoming to sell because of medical issues. Do not wish to wait 9-12 months for a prop to sell
