Status: offline 		Hello,

I wanted to pass along some developments of new aircraft we will be offering in early 2008. We have had emails and demand for alot of airplanes. So with that said we will be offering the following:


New Kits:

1. 42% Laser 200
2. 44% Extra 260
3. 42% Edge 540 Generation II ( Lighter new airfoils and longer fuselage. 3D won't be the same)
4. 42% Velox Rev. II Generation II (This will be an IMAC animal)

New ARF's:

1. 92" Extra 300 Mid WIng ARF (These are on order now)
2. 100" Pitts Python 150cc ARF (Portotype Due in early 2008)
3. 86" Yak 54 Generation II

We are also retooling alot of our molds to make sure that with the exciting introduction of 170cc size engines that our cowls will have plenty of room and allow for more cooling. I will post specifications on each as they are completed We again want to thank all who have supported and trusted us with you purchases.

Take Care

John

Status: offline 		I would have to agree with rcbirk21. I am looking for something different. The Laser as an ARF would strike my fancy too.
I am just tired of the same old planes. If nothing new and different comes along I will just have to keep my big Extra.

Status: offline 		The python at 100" will be to expenseive. 150cc engine your at probely looking at $3000.00 for just the plane and motor. 85-90" would be more resonable. But if you do kept everything the same especialy the decals.

Can I still get some replacement parts for the Yellow/Black Pitts Python 50CC size? I have left messages and can't seem to get someone to contact me.

Status: offline 		Wow,

That is interesting news and I am sad to hear that someone backed out of their end of the bargain. I have been wondering why I keep calling and calling and leaving VM's and no one ever calls me back. A good friend of mine has one of the Python's for sale and it seems very nice. I would want some extra parts just in case the ARF ever was discontinued. I am gun shy on whether or not to buy the plane as it looks like the service is not there...

Status: offline 		Maybe it might not matter but I would like to hear John make an attempt to clear all this up. Seem's there's a lot of drama in the hobby supply and business end. BME, Brison, Lanier, Goldberg all these company's have issues, been struggling and it just seem's to continue. My opinion is that these guys get in over there head's with promise's that they are not capable of delivering on but to keep face they just keep on promising. This is a ruff industry especially with the forum's and how fast the word spread's but it would be a shame to see another kit option go down. I have experience with Aerotech and John and all was not a sunny day but it all worked out in the end. I'd listen and give him a chance to honestly step up and attempt to clear this mess all up. All this just isn't a good thing, come on John???
