Last time I contacted Thunder Tiger directly they were just fine. I suspect it is a Great Planes decision.

HRP Distributing now has exclusive distribution rights for Thunder Tiger in North America effective January 1st. Apparently Hobbico will have to be pushing their overpriced OS junk more since SuperTigre is still a no-show in the hobby market.

not well I'd think, they don't sell a single Thunder tiger engine for planes, that's to bad I really like the pro series engines, the only one I have left is the 36 pro

I don't think the new distributor did a whole lot with promoting their engines. That seems to be a big problem with a lot of the popular sport engines. There were rumors flying all over that, like SuperTigre, there were problems getting stuff from the manufacturer(s) in Asia. I can't believe it's been over two years since they changed distribution.
