2013 FLE Progress Report # 14

Post by Kip »

I know that everyone is anxiously awaiting news and photos, as is the FLEC.

It appears there will be a bit more of a wait, not only for prototype photos, but for delivery as well. It seems there were some spec discrepancies with the dial as they were not quite the way they should be. Result = delays. Even though the release is now a couple weeks behind the projection, I do not believe the delay will be major one.

When Chris is satisfied, as well as the 2013 FLEC, we will move forward as planned. We do know that the cases are already being prepared, so things are still moving forward.

Please be advised that I am giving you what I know as I get it. I will post photos when I get them and any further news when I get it. However, I do hope to have something within the next week as to status. No guarantees!

It is frustrating to not get immediate returns on our input, but I guess this kind of thing happens fairly regularly with new product development and launches and the like - just the end consumer never experiences it!

Besides - the wait makes it more exciting... like the countdown to Christmas ;)

Thanks kip. If things are not as they should be with some of the components, I am happy to wait, at least I know why I am waiting!

Thanks for the updates, even when there is nothing to actually report

Delays are understandable

However some other companies leave you in the dark and it is really annoying
