You still planning on coming to sunset doc ?
I'll be honest, Nate. I was planning to go, but while the European market is bonkers, the USA market for my models has crashed.
Let me take this chance to explain. I can kill two birds with one stone since many people will be looking at the Sunset posts:
Aeroic/Aloft:
You and no doubt others will be wondering what's been going on. You have probably seen my announcements that Aloft will no longer represent Aeroic, but rest assured, there is no fight or dispute here—it's just that we are going in different directions.
Aloft stock:
To advise everyone, even though Wayne has been selling his Aeroic stock at massive discounts, there is nothing wrong with the planes he has. The dumping is to get the 'end of the line' models off his hands and, no doubt, make some money, which we all need. So, if you or anybody else wants one of my models, grab it while you can! You will never see these prices again.
Sunset bash:
To return to the topic, much as I'd love to visit Sunset, the 10,000-mile flight is not worth it. I'm sure Red and Ryan will be there with my planes, so anyone considering buying one can at least try.
The Future:
Right now, if anybody wants an Aeroic model, they have to get it from Europe, which a surprising number of people in the US have done recently, despite the stupid shipping charges. But there might be an alternative: If two or three (or more) people buy planes together, the shipping cost will be significantly lower. In that event, I'm sure Red can handle the sales, and he would probably be very open to 'club' deals and pricing flexibility.
Having said all that, I wish you guys a fun time at Sunset, and lets hope the weather gods cooperate!
Cheers all, and sorry for any confusion that may have arisen.
Doc.
