Default What is up with Ikon???

Ok, here is why I dislike these people. I sent them an email about a year ago asking about their Champ and the Beaver. I got no response. So What! But I buy an Ikon Beaver and need some info on it, so I write to them and it went like this:


I recently bought an Ikon Beaver from a club member, but I don’t know what the CG or the control throws are. Can you help me with this info? Thank you


I got an immediate response from them:

We will respond to your request within 24 hours.
Thank you.


9 days later, after I hear nothing, I write this:


Dang, 24 hours was 8 days ago. This is the second time that I have written
you and have been ignored. Thanks for great customer service!
.


This is what I got back:

From what I hear right here in RCU the owner died and the product line was picked up by another individual. He was quite ill prior to his death.

The prior owner, Mr Neely died recently after a very long illness, thus the problems in quick response.
I have been told the entire business has been sold to a Spokane Washington man who plans on starting it back up soon.
Emil Neeley was a club member at one time and did come to our field at times, health permitting, oxygen bottle and all. He was a nice person who will be missed by all.
Hope this clears up the mystery some.....
