gordon_dunn Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Although this site is very useful in direct comparisons, do not overlook support and service. There is nothing worse than having a small window of perfect flying weather, and having to wait a couple of weeks for a part. This has been the experience of some of my collegues here- i won't mention the brand. A certain manufacturer on this comparison site is a 'one man band', and dosen't even answer the telelphone..., doesn't provide manuals, etc.... Shame really as he has a good product. Also i've found that individuals that chop and change dealerships every couple of years are also fustrating... some of them would rather sell you a new product 'B' than get parts for product 'A'. Longstanding relationships between dealer and manufacturer is a good characteristic. Also a good idea to consider what those guys around you are flying- you can form a 'spares collective' where someone in your group will have the parts you need, without waiting. (sorry for sounding like a 'Simon Cowell', i have not flown for 9 days.... due to weather ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
