Default RE: PIEDMONT Models close their doors

I talked to aeroworks last week and they have no 2m kits. Story I got is they are done with the genesis, as is central. And they only import c.a's stuff once a year. And it's a long time off according to the lady I spoke with. She said she wasn't sure if they were going to bring anymore eclipse of fantasy in..
As for the black magic, I'd have to see one fly to know if it was competitive or not. As far as I know there are none out here on the west coast, or I would have seen one at the contests.
Is pattern dying?? I don't think so, but it sure doesn't look good with attendances lower at our last two contests...
We need some more importers to import the kits..
I just can't pay 3000 or more for an arf, when I can buy a 40 percent plane for 2000.. Or a 33 percent for 1000.
It's just silly!!
