Default How bout them Dodger's!

Guys...

Not much has changed....Engineering is still shorthanded and AFR is going thru some "growing pains". Focus is still on getting the new machining centers up and running (a few of them are) and trying to get a handle on the growing backlog of orders. I think the worst is behind us but we have a long way to go before things settle down....and then its off to the new, much larger facility....more growing pains. Somewhere between here and there lie the completion of the 225's (small chamber). We know you guys are screaming for it and we wouldnt be offended by the additional revenues, but helping Production to catch up is simply taking precedence. I'm not going to sugar coat it...it could be a month and it could be five months (allow me ). I just don't know and only time will tell. If you need to look elsewhere I couldn't blame you and would certainly understand. Perhaps a different piston design might allow the use of our larger chamber 225's...just a suggestion.

Sorry for the reality check and the not so great news....I will update you guys when we are focusing our energy on completeing that program. Hopefully its sooner than later.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,
no problem, I'm sure most will agree with me and say it's worth the wait. You gotta run your business and do the right things
