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?? |

Thanks for the insight and I know Rocky personally, I have watched him grow personally over the past three years into a young man who is honorable and with integrity. I know you, Mr. Aling Lai, will be more then satisfied with his dedication to building this aspect of your company and I know Rocky has been anxious to have this opportunity and responsabilitiy!!! |

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

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. Bill Hatcher Troy Built Models Last edited by bill hatcher; 09-29-2007 at 09:36 PM. Reason: Name Tag not Included |
