Question Training or purchase/chicken or egg?

I'd like to buy an Inspiration, (I thought I'd ordered one last week but apparently not), I would like to know if it is possible to order a unit through an Intstructor and then do the course on your own unit as my LDS is saying no (they would rent me a unit for the course so pushing the price up).

There are only 2 Instructors in Thailand, the other shop says the new electrics aren't available and they cant give me pricing either (I have the pricing from my LDS).

Why is it so flipping difficult to spend money? maybe I should just get a Kiss and be done with with it.

Ian

This is exactly what I did. At the time (2001) very few instructors had a spare unit so rental wasn't a common option. The factory shipped to the instructor to keep with their policy of not supplying unqualified users.

In the UK 99.9% of Inspitration sales are done this way, it might pay you to give AP a call and ask them what they think of this.

I have emailed AP on two occasions recently on related matters but they haven't responded. I have now sent the pricing received from LDS to the other Instructor in Thailand to see if that will spur him on to contacting AP regarding availability.

Nicky is normally very-very good at customer support (at least this has been my experience) but if your asking questions about the Evo or the Evo electronics that might explain the delay.

If you dont get joy in Thailand theres always Paul Neilsen in Hongkong (Mandarin divers) or Soo Seng in Singapore (IANTDSEA.COM) They can import and send on to your instructor (this is what I did with Paul)

Or If you want a 2nd hand unit I can help you there (and also with the training if dont mind finishing your training on HMS Repulse!)

Yes, Freddie is the guy who tells me it isn't available at the moment.
