Default RE: Would you build this kit?

Here was their reasoning:

Skyshark R/C Laser-Cut Kit News Release:

As most of you know, the hobby is changing very rapidly due to the wide availability of inexpensive ARFs, ready to fly, and park flyer type R/C aircraft. Unfortunately, kit building has been in decline for the last few years and demand for higher quality kits is also in decline. In response to lower demand, increased material, labor and other costs, we are forced to discontinue our line of warbird kits. We realize that there are still a lot of builders out there, however, we simply can't find a qualified labor force and can no longer personally devote the time it takes to make a kit of this quality. Since we want our business to continue growing, our time is better devoted to more mainstream products. We have always felt that our kits are unique in quality, building experience and flight characteristics so lowering the quality in favor of cheap labor and materials is not something we are interested in doing.

If we have a high enough demand, we may do limited kit runs in the future. If you would like to be put on the list, email us with your name and the kit you are interested in purchasing.

We would like to thank everyone for their support in the past. We hope that you will look to us for high quality hobby products in the future.
