Status: offline 		Question for Bill Baxter:

I am a big fan of both GP and TF kits. With the rise of ARFs and decline in kit products, I feel it appropriate to start purchasing ahead for my kit building activities. Is there any possibility that we can get forewarning regarding the kits to be taken out of production before it happens? That will enable all of us to purchase kits via normal channels such as Tower or LHS and not have to resort to paying high auction prices on ebay, etc.

Can you help us out here?

Thanks.

Mike

Depending upon the item, the remaining stock will sell out quickly or slowly. We have no idea what items may be in consideration...only once the announcement's been made.

Status: offline 		This discussion doesn't belong in the kit support forum. I cannot provide the answers some are looking for, and the questions and discussion belong in the general kits forum. This forum is for people to ask for help with the Great Planes, Top Flite, and DynaFlite kits they are working with. I am in Support, and do not have anything to do with the planning, marketing, or production of the kits. I can only pass on coments to those who do such things, who will make a decision based upon criteria than I would not be aware of.

So I'm locking this thread. Please feel free to continue this discussion in the general kits forum.

Thank you.
