Wow, I feel your pain as I always seem to have this kind of thing happen too. I'm glad to see the part is on the way quickly.

I noticed your box art has a C-123 in the background; I have one of those in the stash. Maybe I could start that for this Group Build.

That would be a great idea, Mark. Do it!

The part arrived a few days ago. More quickly than any response from Badger on the status of the a/b I sent them. Iwatagot one, fixed it, returned it and I had it back in my hands in 12 days.
