Just to clarify a little bit and do not create confusions, I want to state that Camodel has ended the business relations with his sponsored pilot, collaborator and co-designer in some models Mr. Chip Hyde. The reasons are strictly confidential as we were related in several ways, not just business wise.



Camodel will continue developing new aircrafts as it has been doing it for over 30 years, even though the brand Camodel was established about 10 years ago as means of opening the export market to all over the world. Camodel has been improving the quality of their models year after year, as it can be seen in so many construction posts in very important forums like RCUniverse.



Once in a while we offer discounted prices on certain products for our customers can benefit form them, but in no way have any other meaning as there are just very few of them on the sale price, there are no tricks there so assuming there are and post that in public will create deception in the public.



We will continue working very hard with the same straight and even more now, with the same qualified personnel who have been building the planes that have come out form our factory, as only Camodel have built the models, soon after Chip’s paint shop closed Camodel to continue the work at our factory, so rest assured, the paint quality will be there as always, as these workers painted all the models, for sure the creativity and custom designs from Chip will not be there, but we will contineu to provide as with many other companies custom colors and schemes.



We used to have other very renown pilots like Christophe Paysant Leroux, with how we are good friends, but as he decided to go to Oxai to produce his designs, Camodel kept going forward designing new successful aircraft of original design, and some with Chip’s collaboration, and we will continue to produce as said before some new models which are on the design table right now.



In regards to the specific issue of the Cation, Camodel was only going to produce the Cation and composite wings for Chip Hyde, but do to a mutual agreement it was decided not to continue that project. It worth clarifying Dick’s Cation was ordered two months ago, it was built and just waiting for Dick’s final finish, information that never arrived, and Chip has always pushed very hard to get all the planes ready on time so he wanted us to have them ready as soon as possible, there was no such thing as a deposit for an aircraft in case the customer decided later if he wanted the aircraft or not, the aircraft was built as the money to start the project was received. If it is true that two weeks ago the order was cancelled and yesterday we agreed to return the deposit money, sounds very sad now that a doubt is raised about the quality and the commitment we always had.




When someone writes in forums so prestigious like this, without really knowing the whole story and its details, there is a known risk of damaging the reputation of people or companies, reason to be cautious with the opinions we express in writing in public media.





Best regards
