US-60 coming back?
I was just on the tower hobbies site and noticed that the Ultra Sport .60 no longer says "discontinued". It now says "order pending". I wonder if this is an error or if it's really coming back?

That would be nice!!!!! :D
Definitely worth watching. Ken |
RE: US-60 coming back?
I bet their coming back . The .60 sold out pretty fast , you`d think they keep the available .
|
RE: US-60 coming back?
It's "Order Pending" on my end too. I would assume it's due to an overwhelming demand for this kit, along with the high volume of sales over a limited time period. It would definitely be profitable for them to continue production, I'm sure.

I was very shocked that they sold out that quickly. In fact, it almost took me by surprise. If it hadn't been for my wife playing santa I wouldn't have gotten one!!! :D GP has always been good at playing the market, so they may have held some in reserve. Or they could have scheduled a second production run based on the rate of sales on the first one. There are a lot of possibilities here.

I'm hoping to have projects wrapped up by the time I go to Toledo so that I can start after we get back. Ken |
RE: US-60 coming back?
YES!!!!
This means I'll be able to get another one this spring!!!! |
RE: US-60 coming back?
I missed my opportunity last time to get the .60. I will definitely pick up one or two if they come back again.

RE: US-60 coming back?
You know...the main reason the US60 sold out so quickly is because all of
us did such a good job advertising and promoting it. So Ken...when do we get our commission checks?... Im really glad to see they are doing another run of them. It does show that they do indeed listen. Perhaps it bodes well for some other popular kits that have seen the axe in years past like the Aeromaster or Super Sportster Bipe. Mike Hammer |

RE: US-60 coming back?
And you think that will get BETTER after Toledo???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |

RE: US-60 coming back?
I looked and they have the price listed too.
Great! I already ordered the plans from RCM. At least I didn't order all the wood yet. I have an ASP .61 that is homeless. |
RE: US-60 coming back?
Some day I would like to get to the Toledo show. I'd have some 'splainin to do with my wife, but I'd try! I've had the US 40, and it was the best plane I've ever flown. I am building the US 60 kit right now, and I think it will equal the US 40 if not surpass it. If you are even thinking about getting one, DO!!! You won't regret it.

Just looked again at Tower's site, and came up with this nice little update. Due in Late April!!!! WooHoo!!!!!! :D:D
Ken |
RE: US-60 coming back?
Well, I'll be damned
|
RE: US-60 coming back?
They also jumped the price up ten dollars too.
I had a hard time deciding on ordering the wood, or getting the kit. I am going to have to price things out again. That extra ten dollars might have just made building from plans more econimical. |
RE: US-60 coming back?
I did see that after I posted the screenshot. I guess they figured with that kind of demand they could bump it a bit and get some more. Good ole supply and demand at work!!! :eek:
Ken |
RE: US-60 coming back?
It looks like the price went up on several kits.
