This is fantastic!!!

Just sent Jim a email about getting on the list for a LA1

I'm curious.  Where have the molds been hiding all this time?

Hello guys,

This is great news. Any idea of roughly what the price range might be for these kits?

Thanks,

Teo

The molds have not been in hiding the business has so to speak. Jim wanted me to come to work for him back in the eighties after the 88 TOC as I was involved with Steve Strickers team and had built his fiberglass Ultimates. Steve sold the rights to Jim for the semi kits and right after I decided not to change jobs and move west; Jim moved the business from Cal. to Tn. and took Jerry Budd with him. Jim then sold off the business in the nineties to a husband and wife team who ran it for a few years and by then the type of pattern planes changed and more ARF's took over the market and I think they sold it as well (not sure). Now we are here as Classic pattern flyers wanting our youth and the past great looking and flying planes back ( I stopped flying pattern back in 98, when the fixed gear style of fat fuse planes started taking off ). I learned a few weeks ago that Jim had just aquired the business back and promised not to say anything until it was made public. Now supply and demand will drive how long this lasts.

I don't think he'll have a problem with demand. More and more people are interested in classic pattern and the way it was. There is a new generation out there.

It would be nice to see some of the "real" classics from the 60's.
