Default Rev-Up props

what became of rev-up props? back in the 80's i used to run these almost exclusively and always considered them superior to zinger and top-flite props. are they still out there?

They were made by a fellow in Manhattan, Kansas, and I understand he had his problems. He would run a batch of props and then there would be a long period when none would be available. I used them in pattern. I don't think they have been available for probably 10-15 years.

APC are pretty good.....try them!

Talked to a fellow from Manhattan , Ks . late last year or early this year & asked him the same question . Told me they went bankrupt & left the town , at the time I talked to him the owner of the building they were in had just had a big sale of all the contents. The wood & the props went for fire wood. Was told once the manufacture was a hunter & fisherman & used the prop business to finance his trips . Make a lot of props & bug out for a few weeks. Guess the fun finally caught up ! This is just what I have heard & not gospel. MAX H. PS , I still have several bags full I am hording !

I buy Rev-Up's any time I can find them in good shape. Sure would be nice to have the carving machine so the line could be restarted.
