Aero Hunter Kestrel Flex

Lets us know if the newer flex still has the material that disintegrates off after only a few sits.

Same with the flex (sz 2) kit. 10/13 order # 6723. 8-10 wks to ship which would put it the wk before Christmas. I guess we will see!

I got my flex in a faster time. But they had a lot less orders back then. They was on time in what was going to happen though.
 
Update:

I called again on Thursday 10/31 and talked to Debbie. I asked that if I changed to adjustable webbing bridge and canceled the lineman's and tether if that would expedite my shipping status? She told me the saddle was manufactured with the robe bridge already and that the prusik material that they were waiting on was showing up next week. I think that she sensed the urgency in my voice and told me that they had a substitute prusik rope that they could use to get my saddle shipped pronto.

I asked if I could substitute some of the money saved in canceling the ropes toward a couple of gear bags....which she did. The whole process was very smooth and I really think that they are willing to work with the customer. I plan on using 8' Sterling Oplux tether (from WE) for now using a Beal Jammy for the prusik. I already have a lineman's belt and Ropeman 1. Had I known more about saddles when I ordered, I would have not gone with the kit anyway.

I did get a shipping notice on Friday as promised and the tracking says it'll show up 11/4. That would be 11 weeks and 5 days. I can't wait to get some hours in this thing!!!

ORDER: #5983 DATE: 8/14/19
Kestrel Flex Kit ASAT (modified to just saddle - see above)
Size 1
 
For those concerned about the inner material that was wearing off it looks to me like aerohunter has made some changes. My saddle arrived yesterday and it seems like the inside is different from the earlier models more like a cordura than a rubber coating.
 
Just ordered mine, order #6997. Have a Tethrd Mantis on the way too. Guessing the Mantis will get here sooner based on these comments...
 
Called today and got my shipping date. Going to be a full 12 weeks from order date. On the bright side, sounds like there isn’t a material shortage, today.

Can you post up some pictures?
 
I called today to cancel my order. I found out last week that my wife will be unemployed as of Jan 1st. Need to start pinching the pennies now. She has worked for this company for 16 years. I already have a tetherd mantis, so all is not lost. I still get to go play in the trees.
