Who decides what model to release?
With all the different model companies out there, it seems most are copying each other. Trainers, p-51's, and aerobatic Edge and Wagstaff types. Why aren't more companies expaning their horizons a little?
I think Ace seems to be doing something to get the ball rolling. It looks like they have a few new models coming out, especially the Rare Bear. Sounds like it going to be hot! VMAR is seems to be doing the same thing, but quality is lacking.
I know it sounds like I haven't seen all the models available, but it just seems like there is a lot of potential out there for what would be very popular.
Anyone else notice this? Maybe I'm just bored being stuck inside from the snow

RE: Who decides what model to release?
The nice thing about our company is that we are able to have our production facility make our arf aircraft to our specifications. We submit plans and 3D drawings, and the designers do the rest. This is what we are doing to expand our horizons:

RE: Who decides what model to release?
Kondor models look great but I have heard various things taht make me not want to purchase from your company .Many are on this site .
As far as ARF its not the selection but the things that are wrong . Let me start by saying that I know manufacturing cost ect so lets not go there. All I ma saying is that so many ARF are say way off in appearance that you have to rebuild from day one .
Ok here is a few discontinued planes that the companies wonder why.
Global P40- with P51 style gear and gray and green covering ?
how about p47 with victory stripes that go on for ever .Look I know they are not supposed to be scale but many of these companies are owned by modelers who import the planes.Who better to be deserning when it comes to stand way off scale . Look at the recent success of H9 planes, ya know why because for the average modeler they are the best rendition that can only be improved on . They dont need major reworking to have an enjoyable standoff scale model . Why is this so difficult to understand -models are more pickey then any buyers I know and they have a very strong disposable income -just look at the trade shows !
