Man MMC, you just switched the MCP's from 2S/2S to 2F/2F. Remember the MCP check valve noise on a pump shift? Well, you might have just started more of a racket than the check valves slamming. Or maybe not; she may be old news by now. We'll see....

She was the internet voice of Sheri's Hot Rockets/CJS Aviation, a kit maker of large scale rockets. People prepaid for kits that were only put together after purchase, so there was usually a considerable period between payment and shipment. She had a pretty good business for a few years, then ended up not filling several orders for individuals and vendors and skipped off to Hawaii. During the whole process, she played the victim on all of the major rocketry forums. Many people defended the damsel in distress. Many defended the jilted customers. Mud was slung in abundance. Genders were questioned. Honor was spelled with a "u". Villages were plundered and burned. Plagues ravaged the land. Blood, carnage, destruction....  In the mean time, the company was sold to Red Arrow Hobbies. AFAIK, they aren't honoring Sheri's debts, but it seems like I read that they may be offering discounted kits to the jilted customers. BTW, most likely I will be severely beaten and tortured for speaking of the events as I saw them.

As old Navy guy, I think a simple keelhauling should suffice.

That's a fair summary of the events. One observation: YORF is a pretty quiet forum for the most part, with people acting with civility one to another. I believe that is due in large part because the majority of posters have a more "seasoned" median age than on other forums, and therefore have a "wiser" outlook on life and rockets. But even this topic raised not a little rancor on this forum, which goes to show you how polarizing the whole matter was. And it all seemed to come down to who you believed: the woman or her customers. It was ugly and I am glad it's over. Greg

Appearance-wise she never did a darned thing for me as I work as well as know MANY women FAR more attractive than she ever hoped to.
JUST a keelhauling ? Nah...after that if survived, there has to be a "Walk the PLANK" in there ! Bottom line with the whole previous ordeal was al whole lot of customers did NOT get what they paid for, and I for one am very glad the whole deal erupted PRIOR to what would have been a VERY BAD idea for me to order one of their kits. From what I have read of reviews of those kits, I'm further glad I did not order as I would have been disappointed. Then again, I don't think I would have ordered anyway. I actually expect the goods sitting in inventory and ready to ship PRIOR to me ordering them.
