I suspect we will have to go to "Cottage Industry" LZ cut short kits. In SAM, over 100 of the Old Time Short Kits are available for both FF and RC from a variety of suppliers. Some of the short kits have a wingspan of over 100 inches and sell for $40-$160 including excellent full size plans and shipping.

Will Hobbico bring back the kits after re-tooling in Illinois? Or were the aquisitions merely to eliminate some mainstream competition to make way for more lucrative ARF's, and the kits are never to be seen again? I hope they do come back.

This entire scenario is giving me some pretty bad feelings for the industry in general for the near future.
