Default What's up with American Eagle?

I've noticed a comment on their website that they are not taking any new orders. Does anyone know if this is a temporary situation? I sent several emails to Bob with no response.

Suit yourself, especially if you want an American Eagle kit.


Don't say I didn't tell you.

Can you give the phone number to get in touch with them?

I sent several e-mails over the last year and called several times but never got an answer!!!, if they are still in business I would love to get a couple of their kits.

guys the last i heard was he lost his guy who built the fuses. keep in mind all you get is a glass fuse and foam wings. so if you want something similar just buy a glass fuse from another company and have dynamic balsa cut you the foam parts.

Good point Jeff. I'll investigate that option.

Tomas is it that American Eagle is just behind do to a large amount of orders and didn't want to take on any new ones till he was able to get caught up?

Randy,

Several reasons.... He is now not retired... he had to go back to work... He is a retired Airline Pilot,, Lost his pension... Life stinks.... OH WELL... so now he has to juggle his love of aircraft models, and real work...

Stinks when life pulls the carpet out from under ya!!

_I hope I am not telling too much personal stuff... If I am I will edit this posting!

Thanks Tomas I understand fully now. I hope life doesn't get in the way more I have been looking at a couple of his models that I would like to build someday. I would like to see him stay around.
