...can you have a look ...

I'm checked my crystal ball Mick, but no luck - a URL / web-address would be a good starting point to get feedback!

Hi Mick,

saw this site a few days ago referenced from some ebay sales of the Harry Wallace / Linton Hayes hardware spares from Hangar 9 at Moorabbin recently aquired by Precision Aerospace? which it seems to be carrying as most of its hardware stock?

for those interested it is http://www.fighterparts.com/site/

looks good but I did find lots of empty pages, one menu link to a wrong page and some menu links that went to blue screens of death? as I recall? I may have caught it during development?


regards

Mark Pilkington

Thumb in Bum Brain in Neutral. (fighterparts.com.)
Thanks Mark.I still have about 20ton of parts to put on it.And some of the parts have no numbers and i have no idea what it's off.
The guys from Moorabbin museum went through some of the parts and i am ok with that.I think there might still be some stuff there Mark so see Linton.

The currency exchange rate I can figure out, but how much is shipping for a bag of hardware from Australia to the US (under 5 pounds)? Any other costs if I were to buy something from you (import export type stuff)? Do you accept PayPal?

In general the site looks a little busy for me. You have two menu bars with the same buttons, the latest products/new products windows are too dominating (have a button for those so I can look at them if I want). When I'm trying to search for a part, those scrolling thumbnails are very distracting.

I'm no great "artiste," but I don't have a problem with any of the colors. Looks like a good start and you already seem to have some items that are hard to find in the US for a "correct" restoration of a US manufactured aircraft.
