Sometimes it does pay to DIY.

I would check with Dun and Bradstreet if this company is economically in good shape. Or if it is still in business. That is worth a attempt.

I have looked into in what you wrote. Had a look at their page Dun and Bradstreet and fund info on Aerodeckenginnering, but if you want to look at the info you have to pay money for that.

But there is still a big question that I would liked to have answered, is there anybody out there that is happy with aerodeckengineering, in what the have bought and had delivered. It can’t be that all of his customers are unhappy. When you take a look at his homepage and see what he makes for our hobby, the only thing that I can say is “WOW”.

I guess it would be the time that ArmandP would say something to this, maybe this is all a misunderstanding from Aerodeckenginnering. So please do something to make our worries go away.

Cheers Norbert

I purchased the first modular fiberglass 737 shell from Armando a few years back, and it is a well made, faithful replica. It is however a bit wobbly, but a rear bulkhead will take care of that(something I haven't gotten around to do yet).

I have the shell installed in a VERY tight room, and that was my motivation when I first approached Aerodeck. I didn't want to build something out of wood/mdf, since getting it out of the sim room would be a chore due to the weight and confined space. The fiberglass sections in the Aerodeck shell are extremely light weight, and one person can assemble the shell (except for lifting and securing the roof section, which I enlisted the help of my wife )

I also purchased the aluminum floor, slide windows, and pedestal. The pedestal was virtually destroyed when it arrived thanks to UPS and our wonderful U.S. Customs Department, which held on to it for weeks. I don't know why they were so rough with it, but it was scratched really bad and dented it in several places. Looked like they dropped it OUT of a 737!
Anyhow, Armando made good on this.

I ended up refurbishing what was left of the pedestal, and I have it installed in my sim today. Still looks pretty decent.

In summary I can only comment on my own personal experience, hope this helps.

I do not know how big is your order, but from my business experiance 1300$ for shipping cost must be approximatelly 10 europalletes (120 x 80 x 80cm) of 500Kgr each from China to Greece. So, approximatelly the same distance from USA to Europe.

I put in a order for the MIP stand, I also thought that 1300$ sounded a bit high for shipping.

Get yourself an account at DHL, and you instruct DHL to pickup your package.

Then you have to pay shipping cost to DHL before delivery. If there really is a package for you

And thanx Ivar for the tip about DHL, am still waiting for a response from Aerodeck about my enquire to pay upon delivery, if they cant do it I`ll try what Ivar wrote.

Have now received the MIP stand from Aerodeck, and I payed the shipping when I collected it from the airport, it was approximately the same ammount that was given to me from armando, just a few dollers difference.

And the MIP stand is a beutiful peice of art, really happy that I could now start building on my new sim.

Here are some pict of it.

The box got a little damage when we carryd it up the stairs.





And here she is..

Incredible looking piece of work there! Glad it got there finally.
