I never said that!! I'm not going to say anything more about this because I don't want to be in the middle of any slander or libel case. The extent of my knowledge on this subject is what Sammy told me.....as far as I know, everything Sammy told me is a lie.
Hi 3d-aholic,

Sounds good by me.

>>I suggest anyone interested contact Sammy.

The perfect suggestion....and as you are implying, it's always good to keep in mind that there are always two sides to every story, and it's likely we'll only hear one side.

>>I would like to see the planes come back.....but with what I have been told....I can tell you that ain't happening...

There was only a limited number to start with; the 800 or so that Extreme Flight originally commissioned, but rejected. It is likely by now that those have all been sold.

>>because I would like to see the manufactures work on more 50cc models at the $350 price range.

This was a special liquidation case. The sellers had little, or nothing, in the planes, so it's likely they were making as much selling them for $300 as they make now with their current ones selling them at $600. It would be great to see planes this cheap all the time, but it just isn't going to happen. Personally I think the current crop of 50cc planes at $550-$650 are a real buy at that price. With the recent market changes in China, it's likely we will be paying more for our ARF's than less.

Hmmm, seems I'm kinda getting off subject here. Sorry.

Does TOC sell these planes and parts for them? What phone number are you calling to talk to Sammy Lee?
Yep, they had them, but who knows if they do now. Here's the number again: Sammy Lee. Phone: 253 332 0786
