A WORD ON SERVICE:
Regular maintenance is part of owning equipment of any kind – especially the flying kind. For 18 years we too have listened to & certainly participated in the the whoas & groans of all types aircraft owners regarding routine maintenance, replacement of life-limited parts, Annual Condition Inspections and bent parts. For most of that time, we were the end-users with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge & information – yet dealing with arrogant manufacturers, non-compliant manuals (if they existed at all) and documentation in foreign languages, fluctuating exchange rates, shipping damage & delays etc. So we’re there with ya. Here’s the catch; maintenance should be fun & interesting. If you’re going to to pay the price, we might as well learn something. Let’s do it together.
NEED A MECHANIC:
As the manufacturer of what we consider to be the only true expedition-quality trike on the market, we teach in a manner that encourages Self-Reliance. If you’ve spent any time in the mountains or backcountry, you’ll know this is the best approach. Flying is the easy part. So, our low-volume / high-quality approach to sales and our encouragement of Kits exemplifies this. We want you to know your equipment better than anyone else. We DO have clients with very little mechanical aptitude but they must have a strong desire to learn. We can work with that & we will make it an enjoyable process. However, sometimes you might simply need a professional mechanic to handle business. So here are a few things you need to know. A&P (FAA-Certified Airframe & Powerplant) Mechanics are plentiful in the US and a wealth of knowledge & information. For specific tasks, they are priceless & if you are/know one, you are blessed. Despite their experience, they are typically NOT qualified to work on our Category & Class of aircraft without a LSR-M (Light Sport Repairman – Maintenance) rating and/or hold a WSC (Weight Shift Control) module certificate. Further, A&P’s are NOT typically qualified to work on our Rotax Engines without a current Line or Heavy Maintenance Rating from Rotax. If you need a list or recommended LSR-M in your area, just contact us for a vetted recommendation. Finally, we have made a concerted effort to recruit A&P Mechanics, LSR-M Mechanics and Instructors with valuable experience specifically with WSC aircraft. These are your best resources – and after a couple weeks of on-site training here at the factory, they proudly emerge as what we refer to as “Wild Sky Factory Pro’s”.
THE ROLE OF FACTORY PROS:
For almost 2 decades we were called “dealers” by various manufacturers or importers. Considering that most “dealers” of anything in the US know little or nothing about their product, the title never sat well with me – nor did the constant lack of loyalty, timeliness, quality, training & support from those entities… We operate differently. We’ve received 100’s of phone calls from people & operations asking for a discount & to become “dealers”. They are shocked when they here 2 things: One, we don’t have nor want dealers. Two, we charge money for training & certification to Factory Pro status to represent our equipment. We expect to bring qualified individuals out to the factory for a minimum of 2 weeks to see the operation, assemble a Goat (or portion of it) with us right here where our process, paperwork, resources & methodology are first hand. Our Factory Pros will have the ability to trouble shoot all systems of the Airframe, Systems, Engine and Wing in accordance with our processes & procedures.
WILD SKY CERTIFIED FACTORY PROS:
A Factory Pro is a person or operation that is required to be a positive influence on our company & the sport in general, posses a technical background with the rare ability to teach it to others in fun way. You must be a minimum of either an LSR-M or CFI (WSC) or enrolled in a program to complete the process in 90 days. You must be willing to spend about 10 days at the factory & pay a nominal fee for education & oversight. You must be an owner of a Goat by Wild Sky or have a minimum of a 50% deposit on one. The Goat used for your assembly & maintenance certification CAN be yours provided it is being assembled here at the factory or by another Factory Pro. Factory Pros also have the right to sell Wild Sky Aircraft & Parts and provide Assembly, Certification & Testing Services. Our website will offer general pricing structure for these services but the Factory Pro has final authority. For example, Kestrel Aviation Services located in Sedona, AZ has extremely nice, climate controlled private hangars with luxury accommodations & areas specifically allocated to builder assistance. Kestrel is an extremely professional experience with commensurate overheads & has structured their prices accordingly.
