Default ram and asimjet

This may be old news to you die harder jet guys but I just got solid confirmation from BVM yesterday that Ram and Simjet have closed their doors as far as new jets go.. That leaves only Goldenwest and AMT.. Now I am not 110% on all facts here but I hate to hear as I am a new jet guy...If there are any other manufacturers please let me know... Thanks TK597

Default Simjet!!

Well, you got one out of two correct!! Ram has closed their doors. Secondly, neither one of these companies sell jets, they sell engines, and this is also posted in the wrong section of the forums.

Default update

Hey listen I wasnt trying to convey false info or take up (precious ad space) I just heard that and wanted to get more info myself.. Hated to hear it.. and as far as the rude reply I got above this one, there is no need for that.. (Jets) in the sense to me in my post was meaning engines.. And I think for most of you you know what I mean.. And for you certain ones who didnt know and (they will remain nameless) Ive been dealing with (turbine) engines for years.. I just decided to play with toy ones for awhile..Does Boeing 502, Rolls Royce Viper, Or Allison C-250 mean anything to you.. Get a grip.. These will (Eat) the turbines you play with.. I can be rude too... Moderator you may post this in its proper forum if you wish but I want the above to be able to read it...

Default Not Trying to Be Rude!!

I was not trying to be rude but just explain the facts as they really are and not as you have posted above because what you have written is incorrect. Gary

TK597,

Simjet held their annual meeting and convention in Denmark on July 30th to August 1st, so this means they are far from closing down.

All Simjet's American sales and services (U.S.A. and Canada) are being handled by Great Northern Models.
Their website is: http://members.rogers.com/embrocki/GNModelSite/home.htm

Kevin and Ed are very good people to talk to and they will answer all your questions.

Default SimJet Alive and Well

TK597

As I told you in my email, SimJet is alive and well. SimJet USA has closed their doors, but SimJet continues on. Stay tuned for more developments in the coming year.

Ed

PS What's your real name? TK597 sounds so Orwellian.

I have it on good authority that as of this post, SIMJET is manufacturing and delivering engines, status quo.

With the volitility of this market over the past few years, ANYTHING is possible, however there is no validation of your information as you have posted it.

I believe that you have made an honest mistake in regards to your understanding of the current status of the SIMJET product as production and delivery of these engines is ongoing.

Regards,

Kerry J. Sterner
SIMJET of Penn.

Very well, thanks Ed.

Apologies for the web address, I have the old one it seems.

Yes, you are right. I'm sorry I missed it. I'll try not to have a baby born next year....
