Thank you for clarifying the source of the engines. Very happy with the engine now, just have to learn to fly!! ( We have been spending al the flying time trying to tune the engine, which was impossible before your modification)

Cheers

David

Those are the addresses for the Hobbico complex where they handle sales and support.

Somewhere I had or found the original factory addresses and I recall seeing two different Chinese provinces for the factories.

I believe SuperTigre was originally Italian, and GMS strictly Chinese, but Hobbico acquired distribution rights for both.

It would be nice to know those companies and the addresses. It's been a big secret on here for some time.

Hi David,

Whether they came from the same factory or not, it seems as though they had the same problem. I'm glad all the contributors here could help and you got your engine working well.

Fly4Fun,

Yeah, that GMS-Tower link is a definite.

I wonder if Tower will not produce some of the other sized engines, so as to avoid competing with O.S.?

I'm still curious about the SuperTigre connection though.

Now why can't I get my GMS .32 that I ordered in early November from Tower, until LATE Feb????? Ugh.

Is the company no more?

And if so then what will Tower be doing for their engines, since GMS manufacturers them?

While you cannot get new GMS engines right now, it is a little early to say at this point that they will be forever no more.

It is highly likely that a new marketing company will suddenly spring up to sell the GMS and Super Tiger engines.

Jim,

If it is the same manufacturer that makes the GMS, the Super Tigre and the Tower engine lines, it might be able to sell more, if it produces all three brand names...

... That is, like Sanye makes ASP. SC, SY, Magnum... But each of them is sold by a different retailer...

In this case, it is Tower/Great Planes that sells (and has exclusivity to) all three brands....

This requires a second look.

They'll probably eleminate the "Tower" brand and come out with a "GMS 75 ABC" To replace the Tower 75 being as the Tower 75 is much more popular than the GMS 76.
