and BP Associates- great customerservice!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>This is to highlight some GREAT support from two vendors that
help us stay in the air -- BP Associates and Hobby Lobby International.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>My 7-year old BP / Kavan starter finally gave up a few weeks
ago - teardown showed the commutator on the motor's armature was worn
completely away on about 35% of its surface. </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Max Blose at BP responded to my email saying that he didn't
have many Kavan starter parts, but that he could replace it with a Magnum unit
(another winner, btw). He also let me know that Hobby Lobby sometimes has
armatures available for the Kavan starters . Thanks, Max! </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>When I contacted Hobby Lobby their senior tech, L.A. Johnston
said he nad no new Kavan armatures, but some good used ones that might work.
Three days later the box was on the porch with *two* decent armatures in it,
and a note asking me to cover the shipping cost if they solved my problem.
</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Both looked fine and the starter's working great again.
So, for a couple of calls and $8.00 in shipping, we're back in business on the
flight line! </DIV>
