Didn't get one in either of the two O.S. Inflight Needle kits from Tower.

Don't have enough time to wait for a possible long backorder situation,

I gotta get this thing going quick.

Anyone here able to part with one until I get you a new replacement, or

payment now?

Thanks Mike, The Honorable Elija "Don Ferrette" has offered to send me one :lol:

Hey you guy's are real "Princes" among men!

A word of caution here gentlemen: If you order the O.S. Inflight Needle kit from Tower now

your Not going to get the fine needle. I got two in each kit but they were Both the same

needle, the "heavier" tapered ones.

They (Tower & Hobbico) were no help in securing the fine needle from Japan for me either,

they "threw" me into the street to have me do it on my own.

I have spent allot'a $ with them in the last couple years, That can Change Quick, quite easy!

Just dropped it in the mail, you should see it in a few days. B)
Wow! Thanks Don,, I'll probably be sending it right back to you :blink: HaHa!

There's a "David Wolf" Product Support Supervisor (of something)that e-mailed

me this morning and said that there "indeed should be an "A" & "B" needle in the

O.S. Inflight Needle Kit" and he wil be sending 2 fine "B" needles out to me right away!!

Wow!, I Got "The Wolf" :lol: :lol: Good Gawd Yall! :lol: I'm IMPRESSED!

Well I might have gotten the ball rolling yesterday when I p/m'd Russ Williamson a link to your post & I think he made a couple "inquiries". You can keep the needle as a spare. ;)

Hi Guys,

I have also just received 2 x remote needle sets, also missing the fine needles.

Who should I contact at Tower?

Well a Big, Big Thank You Don! Man, Sumthin' really happened Quick. Whoever helped out there

besides our friend Don, Thanks for your action, This is good to see in this Country.

I work as a plumbing buisness operator,, I have to suffer all the time with big corporations that Don't

back-up they're product when somethings not in the box, doesn't fit or work correctly. It mostly costs

the guy on the end, thats me and others like me.

The reaction on the members part here and especially with Tower (I assume) was a good one and it

was also the Right one,,, Very Impressive!

MJ, "The Wolf" sent me an e-mail saying that I could address any future problems

using his or that e-mail addy.

I'm trying to figure out how to forward it from my mail box to you,, I tink

I'm stumped a little on that. Only way I know is for you to PM me you e-mail addy, yeah?

The Wolf also mentioned using the "FAQ's" (Frequently Asked Questions) feature at the

Tower site. Haven't used that yet and STILL Don't SEE YOUR ADDRESS IN PM MJ

Just wanted to tell Don that the "B" needle came in today, and yes it really does have

"groove" around the knurled knob. Can't thank you enough Don for all you do here,

Your a Huge asset for a Great group of fellow boaters. You kneed (haha) anything,

just holler.

Well that needle sure ain't on the Tower site anywhere last time I checked,,but thats not the key point

to the way they use'ta handle this kind of situation. Usually if you had the O.S. part # they would back-order

it for you, no problem,, you didn't have to bring in "The Wolf" before. It must be Bush again, I heard He lied.
