So, uh, how do you do business with Catto if they don't answer their phone or return calls?

Keep calling or send an email to Nadine...

"Nadine at Catto Propellers" <nadine@cattoprops.com>

She'll answer...

Thanx, Ill give that a try. I hope it works out cause I'm not the type to beg someone to take my money.

Remember...he's a one man show building these things, with Nadine working the phones and email. They're worth it...

I get the one man show thing as far as backlog, etc. But I don't see how that translates into not returning calls. I emailed and hopefully Ill get a sign of life

If he wasn't in driving distance I probably wouldn't have bought one. I knew I could always drive up there and knock on his door. He is a really nice guy. He is just a really busy nice guy. He has a life too, which sometimes gets in the way of building propellers. But he will deliver a great product.

Thats what I keep hearing, from everyone but them actually. Still no response, though its only been a few working days from when I emailed.

Though to be honest this has given me reason to start looking at the whirlwind ground adjustable prop and I have to say that I think I really like what I see.

The WWGA prop is pretty awesome, and there's a group buy going on on VAF right now...

To tell you the truth...if I hadn't already bought a Catto, I'd probably jump on the group buy...I know I'll be happy with the Catto, but the new WW is sweet!

I saw the group buy. My hesitation in jumping on that is that right now I am not committed enough to any engine package to commit to the prop. The few bucks saved isn't enough to spur me on.

Bob Honig is the guy that I have been dealing with getting quotes on engines, etc. I imagine Ill by from him and he has already quoted me favorable pricing on engine/prop package (when pricing CS props, etc.)

In the end run if Catto doesn't get back to me it might be a good thing.

Bob H is a nice guy. I've talked with him several times at Arlington. If I had more money I would have spent it at Eagle Engines. Bob got the WW200RV group buy pricing in place last year.

Yep, nice or not if Craig doesn't want to answer the phone I guess he doesn't need your money. There are other good props out there.
