Are you referring to our Wedge Loc link or our Beech hand tow bars with the wedge lock fitting?

My sidewinder would not fit when I bought it a few months ago. I called the number on the equipment (Sunday evening), and was surprised when Linn answered. We facetimed and determined that my nose wheel fork was slightly off center. Long story short, I flew to Gillespie where the assembly takes place and Linn had me fixed in about 5 minutes and then he and Connor bought me a burger and coke for lunch. The operation they have is impressive and they are just nice airplane people who are passionate about their product. The only thing I might like to see to make it even better, is to look at more lightweight materials (ala the bicycle industry, which coincidentally was the original business model) Congratulations on creating a great, innovative product.

I've borrowed a friend's Sidewinder in the meantime. Great piece of gear. Thank you for your patience Mark! Your Beech Sidewinder just shipped yesterday. You should receive the tracking number via email soon. Let me know if you have any more questions! Connor Kastan Redline Aviation
Received and love it! 
Just in time for Oshkosh. 
I should have placed my order the day before our "210" friend trashed your product. I got stuck in the massive order spree that shortly ensued. (I was already a believer... just a procrastinator.)

I grew up with several original Redlines which were, without a doubt, the highest quality bikes in the business. Tapered fork legs, welds on both sides of gussets and drop-outs (seems like everyone should do that), best cranks, etc. I wish I had kept a couple of the best examples (they are worth a lot now). I can see that quality carry through in the Redline Aviation products. Well done.
