I'm just curious if anyone out there has gotten ripped off by
Conversion Concepts. I know he has a reputatiuon for being late, but has
he just taken anyone's money and never delivered a mount? I am just
curious because I am getting a little worried about it. I ordered my
mount in May and was told four weeks, six on the outside, and my mount
would be done. I keep getting told "next week" over and over again,
usually due to health reasons. I was billed for my final payment (60% of
the total) and assumed that meant it was ready to ship. I paid and still
have nothing. That was a month ago. Any advice from other customers?
Thanks much, John

My mount took one year. I paid for it all in advance. There were lots
of excuses but it finaly came and the mount looks really nice. NO,
never ripped off. I just had to be patient. He has had some health
problems and he may be over them now. My mount was for a Cozy. I
haven't needed it yet but I will have it mounted this winter. Advice?
Be patient, if you can wait. Some parts get sent out to be machined and
he has to do several at once to make it worth the cost. I've had
similar problems with other suppliers. My retract landing gear is a
similar situation but it's been a year and a half.
I'm sure both of these businesses would be larger and more successful if
they would deliver in a more timely mater.

They are very cosmetic but they are also poorly designed.

Thanks Rick for the info! Paul, what are/isthe concerns about the
design? Thx, John
Not to worry it won't kill you. You might bend it if you
land hard or pull a bunch of G's. Over weight and too costly
due to poor structural design.
Nice powder coat and Anodizing however.

I also had problems with CCI on promised delivery dates, they keep telling
me two weeks, two weeks, two weeks and so on. I finally had asked for my
money back, and one last time, they told me two more weeks, and that time it
was delivered in two weeks. I'm very pleased with the workmanship,
especially due to the fact that my mount was the first five point mount that
CCI has made. The five point mount is needed because it will be mounted in
my L-164 Bush Caddy float plane.
They say patients is a virtue.
