Current Status:

UPDATE (4-16-21): NTX Spinners are NOW AVAILABLE!!!! I've built, tested and tuned my own 350F+/90psi Autoclave and have produced the first batch of eight MkII NTX Spinners. Almost all of these have already been sold to customers. The good news is, I am making more and taking orders for the next batch. Click on the email button above to begin the order process.

UPDATE (4-24-21): All of the Block 1 NTX Spinners have been sold and shipped to their new owners. I am actively building Block 2 and taking orders to finish that batch now - These build slots are filling rapidly, get in on it while you can.

UPDATE (5-28-21): All of the Block 2 Spinners have been shipped to their respective owners. I am now taking orders for Block 3. NOTE: Due to the global supply chain shoratages, when I run out of the pre-preg material in the freezer, that's all there is going to be for the foreseeable future (possibly into 2022).

UPDATE (8-9-21): All of the Block 2 spinners were shipped prior to Oshkosh'21. Since then I have picked up a few more orders and have begun building those (Block 3) and a couple more out of the last of the pre-preg on-hand to finish it off. Supply shortages continue.

UPDATE (2-1-22): All the Block 3 spinners were shipped last summer. The good news is: Pre-Preg materials are back in stock! Spring batch build now underway.

UPDATE (5-28-22): The first half of the Spring 2022 batch are fresh out of the autoclave! The first three customer bulkheads are getting their high temp post-cure today so the orders can be completed next week.

UPDATE (4-1-23): All spots for the Spring 2023 batch are spoken for and parts are being made over the next couple weeks. I'm now taking orders for the Fall 2023 batch...Order now, spots go fast. So fast, they are already sold and in customers hands!
UPDATE (1-1-24): Now accepting orders for the first 2024 batch. Order now!
