When I was e-mailing William a couple years back enquiring about the possibility of getting a Perigee short kit, we simply didn't hit it off personally. We never even got to the point where he told me the price for three kits, (obviously he must have told WEDJ), so I gave up on him and instead was able to get a prototype of Bob Harris's kit produced for Early RC, (taken over by Wing Mfg). However, due do costs and the amount of work involved in kit production, (producing instructions etc), plus other pressing classic pattern projects projects, (such as the Phoenix 5), and finally, the real possibility the kit would not sell enough to break even, Wing decided not to produce the Perigee kit. Personally I'm sorry it didn't get produced, though I coimpletely understand the reasons for not doing so.
FB...Please post your flight reports of your Perigee when it takes to the skies, and contact me by e-mail or phone about plans you may be interested in.
WEDJ also had a "difficult" time with him. It's very unfortunate that Wing decided against the Perigee kit, I too understand all of the issues involved bringing a kit to market. Even a short kit with no instructions would have been good. After all, anyone that would buy it would know how to scratch build. As is stands, William or scratching a Perigee is the only game in town, that is unless you have an original kit.
I'll advise when my restored Perigee makes it first flight. Right now it won't be until spring. [
