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

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

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.
