John,
There has been so much "here-say" on who owns them, if someone bought them, etc...it's just muddy water and ridiculous to even come to some form of speculation. They "shifted" in a HUGE way about Sept of 2012, saying their "issues" were because of a factory move (I guess the pics you see are of the new factory). Orders went from 8 weeks as promised to 30 weeks or more. Airframes got shipped with missing parts, paint schemes were messed up, etc. Then, the crashes started happening more and more. Until all of this, I had no issues with their airframes. James was incredible at customer service...then he was not involved anymore, and everyone had to deal with "China" direct. About January, 2013...that's when I first heard they were sold to an investor group of some sort...who knows after that.
