Glad to hear that an experienced distributor will be handling these great flying planes now! Good luck with the new venture.

Will TOCExtreme/Troy Built still be a primary importer/distributor or will all planes be purchased through Thunder tiger and its retail suppliers??

Hi Aling. Thanks a bunch for making the introduction to our members of the FlyingGiants community. SD has provided a great line of products to modelers worldwide for some time now, and knowing a number of employees within your organization, I have no doubt in my mind that we'll see even better products in the future. Congrats on your acquisition and best of luck with all of your efforts.

Regards-
Max

TT has been very successful in Europe but SD never established good distribution channels. Let's hope TT sort this out so we Europeans can get our hands on the big ARTFs

With TT taking over, will there be some good intro deals???? I'm thinking about another 37.5% yak. I see they don't offer the new scheme though??

TT is powerhouse in RC, this can only bode well.

I inquired about the Pitts, man. Looks good.

If you look in those clean up pics, all those half-worked cowls and forms in the trash...I bet a few guys here would have liked to have been able dumpster dive for those. If you look close in the photos of the factory, there are a few really big fuses in the back.....the jigs in the photos are cool to look at too..

If you look at the pictures from the factory the bottom right picture has got to be planes for Troy Built Models. Since Troy Built is the only Dealer with HP versions of the planes These are some of the Russian Thunder Yaks And A buch Of the Extras That we just got in 2 weeks Ago. I think its great to see them while there are still over there.
