Fireman,

What you propose as being the reason in your second paragraph is exactly what I was referring to when I said the chicken and the egg. No product, so no demand - no demand, so no product.

You're right, marketing isn't about selling someone what they want, it's about convincing them what you're selling is what they need. So, it's logical to try to sell them what can bring the highest profit with the lowest outlay of capital and labour.

I'm hopeful that Norvel will come back, but I have no delusions that we will see any growth in 1/2A to match the the 20 new brushless motors or the 100 new ARF electrics, 1/4 scale or 3D machines that come out every month.

Speaking of noise rules. Our club has a rule that anything .061 and under does not require a muffler. How's that for supporting 1/2A?
