Not surprising as this could certainly be a factor of CARF's massive price increases last year. Price increases of 30% to 50%+ depending on kit are going to result in sales decreases. You may still consider them good value but, few companies can get away with price increases like that. Then they put on the "deal of the week" and discount them down but, still well above the old prices. They're not fooling anyone and I guess few are buying.

Also, nothings in stock ( in the USA) and what stock there is, is old.

I bought a Red Arrows Hawk last summer to back up my 2010 display scheme and finally just got around to building it and realize that it is a VERY old kit. Much older than the 2010 display Hawk I purchased the previous year. Missing one sheet with the fuselage fins, stab horns not pre-mounted, no fuse scoops, no wire for rudder hinge, no mount for the nose pitot. Very annoying to buy a new kit and realize it's an old one!
