I emailed Tower about a Top Flite Contender and a Great Planes Escapade. I received a nice email from their customer service that TF and GP were not part of the merger and did not know what the future was. However, they hoped both product lines would eventually come back. Now, why the TF new Hellcat is in stock, etc, I have no idea. No telling who owns what company and how they are intermingled. I think most people agree that our hobby is in a state of change in a lot of ways. If I had to guess, I would say Horizon hit the hot button with E-Flite foamies and Spektrum. But kits, nitro engines etc are probably on the down elevator. Kids seem to have little interest in our hobby. And note that Model Airplane News is about 30 pages thinner?

I see the new E-Flite Pitts is in stock so moving over to the PC to order one
