Title: Supplier question
Post by: simsimmer on December 26, 2020, 09:15:27 PM
Hey Guys,
Just wanted to know if FDS has left the enthusiast market.  Visited their website (it's been awhile since I last visited) and they seem to be catering more to industry and high end entertainment markets. I couldn't find prices on individual items as before. Am I missing something ...like is there a separate website for the consumer market? Thanks

Hey Ian,

Yes sir, they still sell to the home builders, thank goodness.

Did you email Peter Cos yet? If not, shoot him a message and he'll get back to you.

Last time I did they were dealing with very long production times because of COVID-19 rules for businesses....

Peter has always had very long production times. They always come through with a product though so you will have to be patient.  They sold Jetmax, so they didn't have to have the support staff taking away from their bread and butter which is a good business decision for the commercial side, but if you have the $$$$ They will do business with you.

Money talks.

Just email and they will accommodate. Run of the mill parts are usually available right away but if you need a complete OVH or MIP or a repro  seat they will need some time to build it for you.
As mentionned above, the present situation does not help.

Hey, simsimmer,

Peter handles all of the pricing directly now.  They still have a hobbyist business, but access is only through Peter.

You can also email him at pcos@flightdecksolutions.com.
