Guys. I'm a little gun shy to order from http://www.leobodnar.com/forum/ because there seems to be no responses to sales questions on there forums.
Look threw the forums and let me know its just me. Also if anybody knows Mr. bobnar maybe they could have him let us know hes still in buisness.
Thanks
Mike:shock:
Update .
I think I ow an apology to Mr. Leo. He is hard at work making sure all who ordered his product get them.
:grin:I;m going to order .
Thanks you Leo.
He didn't respond to my questions either, so I decided against buying his products. I was going to buy 6 of his boards.
He's still in business. He's quite busy usually, but his products are top notch. I never had a problem with my axis card.
He might be on Holiday, or out of town, or even not feeling well.
I have purchased 2 of his boards and he provided quick shipping with tracking information in less than 24 hours after placing the order(8 months ago). He even followed up with a courtesy email 2 weeks after. I'd buy from him again.
I have one of his boards and I can say that it has never given me a moment of trouble.
It's a bit costly, but I think its well worth it.
(He might be one of those hermit type people that hates to communicate with others ;) )
I think he might be snowed under. I bought his early board and it's one of the best pieces of kit in my sim. Fast shipping and good response too.

I also bought a BU0836 from him. I communicated with him via email and his response was quick. My first order got lost in the post, luckily it was insured by default. It was resent to me without any questions ask.
His boards are top quality and I would order from him again anytime.
I'm encouraged by the positive comments from earlier purchasers here, but the question is: has anyone heard from him or had dealings since June 2008?

I go alone with the busy theory. I ordered one of his boards months ago and he answered my questions right away. I loved it.
I thought about buying the new X board and he never replied. Like Tevor, I sat on the order until another thread in here convinced me to try the new board. I ordered it the day before yesterday.
Please let us all know when you get it.
Will do!

Just to chime in,, I ordered and received the BU0836X in Late September 08. 12 day delivery to Colorado USA. No documentation at all included, just the board. Board is very straight forward though, so no problems. Works great.
hi 737steve can i ask you what you used the card for?
regards john d
Hello, Currently testing and fine tuning yoke, rudder pedals and two thrust levers at the moment. Also momentary switches (trim up, down, and auto pilot disconnect) I had a bit of trouble with x axis 2 pots burning up, but new one seems to be holding. The plan is for 7 pots (Yoke, rudder, 2 thrust, speedbrake, and flaps) for beginning. Speedbrake and flaps may have a different solution later, but just to get the sim going Ill use the pots. Same with the 32 buttons. Ultimately will be using some type of SIOC, but just to start out I will use all of the 32 inputs. My name is Steve and I'm building a 737NG sim in Colorado USA. I will soon properly introduce myself in the approriate forum.
Regards
Steve
I got word early this morning from Leo that the card had been shipped. Later today I received a thank you email from him.Quote:

I also ordered a 'x' version board on Wednesday 8/10/08 and will let you know if/when it arrives.

It arrived today (7 days) to UK
I have mixed feelings about this so far....maybe I will post a review of this in the future....

Mine came in on Friday. It took about a week. Looks nice but, I haven't tested it yet.
:pWell. I think I ow an apology to Mr. Leo. He is hard at work making sure all who ordered his product get them.

Hi Scott, I have had the X-board for several months now and it works like a charm. It's extremely easy to work with. Just push the wire into the slot and it's connected. quick slots for all buttons. No need for diodes when using switches. rotaries work fine.Quote:

OK, I set up one of the Alps encoders 1/4 detente and 24 steps to Leo's X card. I simply plugged in one side in switch #1 then ground and the other side to switch #1. I used the next switch (#3) and its ground for the built in switch.
I used FSUIPC to set the encoder to tune the 100 digit of the ADF and the built in switch to parking brake. Both worked fine.
This was just a quick test before the LSU ball game came on. I did first try using the encoder to adjust the ADI horizion line but it didn't work. It just may be FSX? It worked fine for the ADF.
I did use the little setup program to tell the BU0836X I was using 1/4 encoders. So, I guess, you can't mix them on the same board?
