Jon - you are rushin', I can feel it all the way from China LOL

Extra Hard Coating Update:

The 3 WDs I've sent to the hardernizer (the new name we gave him!) last weekend have been coated successfully this last Thursday. It takes 72hrs for curing which mean he will only be able to pack those and send back my way this Sunday. I should receive them this Tuesday or Wed latest. Something like that....

Spoke to him yesterday, he told me that they look and are as hard as my bathroom mirror... whatever that means. Can't wait to have them back and throw some 'dusty' microfiber cloths at them. This same company does the Maserati's cluster gauge faces coating so if its good for Maserati, it should be good for the SkyBreaker

They'll have to be the Best in the World x1,000

Jon - to be precise on timing, we are looking at about 2 (two) weeks from today until the day I will be sending those recalled panels to existing customers. The whole process involves me etching and laser cutting the panels and then sending them all to him for coating (takes about a week for both operations). So two weeks total! Goes fast

Other news is I've already started manufacturing additional kits (ctrl box, the blades, etc). I am doing a few kits, just in case loll Also got the 987 friends of friends crowd running after me at the moment. Word of mouth is nasty loll

Never in a million years I would have expect this to go viral. I am petrified to list those on eBay or elsewhere... I'll possibly end up doing those for the rest of 2015

I'll update as soon as I have anything new from my end. And before you mention Jon, I know your summer is on its way out, I'll hurry promise
