Default RE: Another new owner-Diamond Dust RC MFG

I think they think that they know what will sell. Maybe they just got done force feeding a kid through college to get a degree in marketing and this is the end result?
The trouble with selling Diamond Dust kits to make a living would be selling a product to a market that mostly doesn't like to build. It is also the easiest plane for any scratch builder to bootleg.
An ARF DD sounds pretty scary, what happens when the hot glue fails at 150 mph! [X(]

If this plane has any chance at succeeding long term, they will have to invest in advertising and hitting all the key airshows for demos.
