804, how much of Don Anderson's own money is going towards setting up PPP? Is he matching funds with the AMA for promotion and admin costs? His business is selling airplanes with or without the help of the AMA. In this case he gets the AMA's help for free. Looks like a very sweet deal to me, he has absolutely no exposure to harm if the PPP flops, he will still continue to sell model planes, fly his GulfStreams and own his islands.
Rufcut, his reply almost matches word for word the one that I already figured he was going to use.
Are you forgetting the costs to develop new models, which they are constantly doing, which may or may not sell? Sure he'll still continue to sell planes w/without AMA, but there is still risk involved. Guys like that don't get in the position to fly Gulfstreams without taking huge financial risks.
Ask STL for more info on developing new models...[8D]
