DOES anyone know what the heck is up with IKON NORTHWEST? the phone # is NFG
the website is a constant, we will respond within 24 hrs , and they never do. they could at least
let people know if their having a prob , by posting it on the site.

Yeah same here, tried to call and both numbers are no longer in service. Emailed them Friday and still no response. I think they have gone ka-poot.

I will try and remember to ask someone who should know tomorrow, IKON is right here close to me. If I find out anything I will pass it along. They haven''t done much after purchasing it from Emil Neeley several years ago?

Thanks Gizmo, would like to know if they are still around or if they have sold out to someone else.

A guy named Aaron Silk was the last owner I talked to. He bought Ikon from Emil; hasn''t been the best guy to deal with. I managed to get a UPF Waco kit from him about a year ago. He said he was gradually converting all the kits to laser cut, had great plans. He should at least make some kind of statement on the site, like, "Get one if you think you can", or "I''ll be back........eventually"[X(]

From what I have heard about Emil''s service, he''s probably rolling in his grave right now (hope he''s not gone, though, he designed some NICE kits)

I had read here on RCU that Emil had passed away in 2004 I think it was. Don''t know what the problem was, but I guess he frequented the flying field where this fellow flew and spoke about his passing on another thread here somewhere. Yes Ken, he sure designed some beautiful aircraft, a tremendous loss to the giant scale kit industry.

WHITEROCK, does Nelson and Ann Castle still have their hobby shop there in Westbrook? Been years since I have been there, used to stop there all the time when we went to Pt. Sebago for the Funflys or just a vacation.

box , not that i know of, do you you know what area
of westbrook it was in? we only have one hobby shop in the area, in falmouth, it used to be
in portland. ITS funny because , i haven't joined any of the local clubs , i get a thrill
from building lately . I have a trainer all set up to go as a tail dragger , but when i contacted
one of the clubs they said the would not like to train me on that and i spent alot of time building it.
if you hear anything else about ikon , give me a thread here

thanks

I got a respond from Ikon Northwest today. I was interested in a Beaver. They said they were still retooling. They had some things but it would be in the fall before they would be in operation. He said he did not check his E-mail very regular now so be patient. Both of the phone no.s did not work. That is what I received today, Monday, June 16th. Thanks, Nick
