Byron Originals
I had been out of the hobby (RC airplanes) for about 8 (or more) years and got back in this winter (I'm just building the Top Flight Spitfire now).
Anyway the last kits that I built before taking my leave of absence were the Byron Pitts and Byron Corsair which were wonderful. When I started to consider what to build now, I looked to Byron but was surprised and upset to learn that they were no longer producing airplane kits, only fuel (and lawn furnitiure ???)
Recently I heard a rumor that Byron was either going back into the kit buisness or they were in the midst or arranging for another company to produce the kits for them.
If anyone out there knows anything or can confirm this "rumor", I would very much like to hear from you.
Thanks
JC
