WOW! You guys are great!

Thanks for all of the support - I'll be sure to keep you updated.

I have the rotors and MiniPilo's intake coming for eval as well - didn't mean to leave you out Dan!

rygold - that site is pretty trick - I'll have to come up there and see if I can't get the MINI on 2 wheels, eh? BTW - did you know there are only 3 letters in Canada - C, eh, N, eh, D, eh . Thanks for understanding the need for prioritization, and know that the little time I spend here is temporary.

Thanks again!!!

Randy

Randy,
You have been one of, if not THE BEST sources of info for us here at MCO. You have your priorities right where they should be and we would be just as fortunate if you were here only 1/10th of the time.
Best wishes,
Jason

Sorry about your son I hope he gets better soon. I was sick a lot at about that age, weak lungs and very weak immune system, and at 23 I am completly healthy and in great shape. I even got my inferior lungs strong enough that I could run 10 miles and hole my breath long enough to free dive to over 60 feet.

Positive thoughts and energies towards your family.

On a unrelated note where can I go to get a job like yours. You get to test and intall cool car parts and test fly bad *** aircraft. That is my dream job. You rock.

Randy,
My best wishes to your son! Also, good luck on your test pilot stuff. I understand that we all have lives beyond MCO, however amazing it may seem

Take care,
Cheers,
Ryan

Randy, there is nothing we do here that can't wait. Take care of your little guy and other obligations, we're not going anywhere. Sometimes we focus so much on one or two things and we lose sight of what is important but it sounds like you have it under control. Good luck.

Randy,

My thoughts go out to your son for a speedy recovery. Hope everything turns out well!

We can wait. It's so much better than the alternative of not having you around at all!

Randy,

I have been off the boards the last two days and just found this thread. Obviously I hope to see Zack around the house again soon. If there is anything you need, let me know.

Randy,

I'll pray for a quick and complete recovery for your son, a sick child is every parent's nightmare come true, in the meantime, keep the greasy side down on those aircraft.

Randy,

I wish only the best of things for you and your family. I'm sure, as you can see the MCO people are hoping the best for you. Do the most important things first and get back with us when you can.

Randy,

I agree with all that has been said here. You take care of your family first. You do more for all of us here than just about anyone, and we don't do whole lot for you in return.

I will pray for you and your family, and hope all is well soon.

John

Randy, I hope Zack is getting better. We appreciated your sincerity and an apology is totally unnecessary. Thanks for all your help and I wish your son a speedy recovery.

Randy,
You go above and beyond for your customers and I
now know you are a great father as well. I've never
met you but in our phone conversations I can tell your
son is lucky to have a father like you. I wish you and
the family the best.
Michael
Show him this when he gets home!!!!

Randy,

It's difficult to express my thoughts to Randy's situation. Here is someone who is extremely passionate about his job and providing information to people he may never even meet! Yet you apologize for putting your family first in a critical situation.

Above all, I pray your son gets better soon Randy.

I believe that the class you continually show will only strengthen your customer base.
