I hope you realise that people like me that like your planes and need a replacement are going to go elsewhere to by!

I hope all of you understand that for me it's a business, not a hobby, and if I can't make a profit on it there's no point to doing it.
We have been squeezed from both directions. The sales volume has gone down dramatically since 2008 because of the poor economy. Sales to young adults have pretty much disappeared, I guess young guys with a family decided that feeding their family was more important than feeding their hobby.
Then at the same time chinese builders have been raising prices and their minimum quantities as their economy grows and their government is pressured (by the US among others) to equalize their currency. So nowadays I am paying double what I paid 6 years ago for the same plane.
If the time comes when it looks like I can sell a good quality plane for a profit I assure you I would be doing it.

I have purchased three of your 50cc planes - my first of two Sukhois five years ago, and an Extra 260 (your very last one I believe) one year ago.
I found your products to be high quality, very reasonably priced, and service was excellent. They all flew very well, and were admired by the guys in the pits.
Btw, here is me flying the Sukhoi a couple of years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qssX..._order&list=UL
Not sure what I will do if I ever write-off the Extra.
