Ramphossweden Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Now we have wait for 5 month for spareparts. The customer service are lying about delevery and prong the deliverydate after pushmail. Have You in the forum same experience? Do they just want to sell new aircrafts? Some quickfix? We just want to get up in the air  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Spare parts have always been slow with flight design. If you are in the US or Canada, and you REALLY need a part, you can have it airmailed from germany (extremely expensive). Otherwise, it is coming over on a shipping crate, and that DOES take months. Alternatively: call airtime aviation in tulsa. They do a lot of salvage and often has parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 It looks like he is on the other side of the pond. I am not sure about parts over there. I have not had any issues here, but I have not needed anything special for quire some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Mc Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 My New Mass Balance Arm had a lead time of three weeks....... three months ish later it arrived.... The agent I bought it from (UK based) was waiting for small engine frames for similar length of time CT's blocking up his work shop for months... I don't think your problem is a new one, Parts come from the Ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchou83 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Dear friends Michael from AeroJones Aviation (AJA) here. I hope you don't mind me responding but the post is referencing a after service after all. I think many of you know AJA already. In 2015-2017, due to FD bankrupted and reconstructed, we purchased the Asia pacific market of the CTLS. Since then, we manufactured the CTLS/CTLSi in China here and sell it to most the Asia pacific countries. Back to the topic, if you in our territory, we can supply you anything in the CTLS model with fast and ecom shipment. If you are in FD's territory (Euro, North America ...etc), still feel free to talk to us, see what we can help. Cheers Michael |CPL|CTLS\CTLSi|instructor AeroJones Aviation Technology Co.,Ltd Sales Division, Taiwan TEL：+886-4-24618885 Fax：+886-4-24618825  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhatter Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Please correct me if I am wrong but the majority of FD in US are CTSW's. Also Aerojones comes out of Taiwan where geopolitics may become a serious issue in the near future (actually already pretty tense). I am ELSA and fortunately have the ability to produce my own parts if needed, but I am concerned for those who can not. FD is a great aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassStripFlyBoy Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Your correct, but not many more SW's than LS's, type in "flight design" to this search field Aircraft Inquiry (faa.gov) Very quick eyeball tally shows a few more SW's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
