RE: Early RC Models - Still in business?
Yep, he had a deal with Great Planes on the Goldberg designs. I had to submit my plans for their approval. As I understood it, the agreement was very good as they have a designated person who searches the internet continuously for kit cutters infringing on their copyrights and such.
I was using Alex at AK Models to do all my laser cutting and never had any issues with him. He imports his own wood and I could label what type of wood I wanted per sheet on the cut files.
Not sure what happened to Dan and the business. He was always a great guy to work with and an excellent modeler and craftsman.
The kit business can test you!! I had jigs built for forming all the landing gear as well as a small vacuum form machine to do all the canopies and such. It was time consuming but I always like offering the complete kit like the old days. You did not have to go out looking for landing gear and canopies to complete the build.
