All the improvements to the TW sound good.  

   

Have you ever considered making the lower landing gear doors similar to the doors on the FW-190?  

   

What will be the price of this new improved TW?  Also, could you elaborate some on the new ignition and fuel injection for the M-14PF?  

   

Thanks,

I think the new  plane sounds great but would have to evaluate the additional value relative to  the considerable increase in price.  

  

 One thing which must  be addressed is the perceived lack of service after the sale.    

  

 Many of us have the  same inherent issues with the TW, and have spent considerable time and/or money  on these (oil temp, weight and balance, trying to understand the manual,  etc.).  At the current pricing these issues are annoying but the  performance of the overall plane is worth it.     At the new  price, I would expect the manufacturer and all others associated with the sale  to really stand behind the "issues" which may come up.   

  

 This is a great  chance for Aerostar to really improve it's reputation, add value to all of  our planes and have a chance of success in the new price  category.     

  

 Aerostar and dealers, please  take this note as my input to for one way to add the the chances of success for  the new plane.

Ira hit it right on the money.  Aerostar, at least in the  past, just didn't get it.  My first sales manager many, many years ago told  me two things that has stuck with me over the years.  First, "Nothing  happens until somebody sells something" and  "The selling starts AFTER you  get the order."  Now that may not make sense to some, but in Aerostar  terms it represents precisely what Aerostar has not done.  And that is,  support their product AND most importantly, their dealers the way they  should be before, during and AFTER the sale.  Aerostar lost the best  possible US dealer they could have ever have.  GESOCO.    Gesoco was dedicated to the product, had the technical expertise to provide  feedback on the product and the capability to support the product, 100%, before,  during and AFTER the sale.  But Aerostar dropped the ball.  No  offense Harvey Meek.  But George Coy's team was the key to the Yak 52W and  TW products success or failure in the largest market in the world, the  U.S.

  

 Anyone who spends $170K or $285K (doesn't really matter which)  expects to be able to take their airplane to their dealer or designated repair  shop, get their airplane fixed under warranty and not have to wait 2-3  months for the original manufacture to "decide" whether the repair will be  covered by the warranty or not.  (ie: Pompous attitude - "We made it so it  can't be defective.")  You wouldn't expect that kind of post-sale support  on your Ferrari or other expensive sports car and you damn sure don't expect  that kind of service from your new airplane manufacture.

  

 Poor product support equals lost sales and lost sales equals  shutting down the product line.  With the global communication capability  of the internet, poor product support is catastrophic....as evidence of the  number of 52TW's sold over the last 18-24 months in the U.S. compared to 2000  thru 2004.

Well said Dennis..



I think the folks across the bond are slowly but surely pricing themselves out of the US market. What they may not realize is that we as consumers will find the next best thing, cheaper. We are also an innovative bunch and will find a way to improve upon something and do it cheaper. As much as we may bitch about the FAA, we are lucky in regards to the experimental certificate relative to other countries. 



I have flown a Yak-52 TW and in my opinion, it was not of the same quality as that of the "original" Yak-52. And to pay $285K for one!! I would be stunned if there was a single sale here in the US or anywhere for that matter. 



If I had to spend 285K on a Yak, I would buy 3 more Yak-50's and start my own air force!

Dennis has a handle on it, maybe he should explain it to the Chinese too (I tried).   I could write a book on the horrors of doing business (trying to) with Eaglet.   From trying to sell me CJ's then at the same time trying to sell them to my customers also, to printing advertisements showing my fuel tank mod as their own property, it's been a real education.   

 

 Neither Aerostar or Eaglet have realized the importance of aligning themselves with, and giving their full support to ONE good, stable, reliable, firm to do all of it's marketing/business here in the US.  If Eaglet would have done that I am sure there would be more new CJ's flying today.  The Internet and thousands of inquiries from sport pilots trying to short cut the system and make a good buy has made them feel like they can "go it alone".  I wish them luck

 

 Always yakin,

 Doug Sapp
