I got word from RCGroups that Bruce Tharpe, who designed the Sig Four-Star and also his famous Venture 60, has been hijacked by Matt Bruner's mbreptiles.com site. This was verified on my last visit. If you look up BTEModels on Google, you can find parts of his site still in the cache. Trying to find specific models will fetch a 404 error, however. If you type in the link in a new window, you automatically get redirected to mbreptiles.com. There are a couple possibilities, one is that he might be out of the business. The other is that he might have forgot to renew his domain. In either case, this unfortunately yields negative results for the consumer. Feel free to share if you have any other info.
