Default Re: SD --> Ace Hobby Models - GREAT NEWS!

Bill, do you know if Troy Built will continue to carry the "SD" line of planes? Just curious, as I have been looking to replace my old toc1 yak.

This acquisition from a company that has done very well in the heli market, and single handedly brought helis to the forefront of model aviation should be an outstanding addition. Cant wait to see what is coming down the pipe from SD

Not to mention Rocky is a pretty nice fellow.
I was happy to hear he was appointed "The Man" since he has been with TT for some time.
And he has good knowledge of GS planes.

That was a great move by TT.

Troy Built Models has the 42% Extra 260 and I have one 40% Yak in stock right now in the HP versions. TT has assured us that we will continue to be able to get all the planes we want.

Is this statement still true Bill? I had read on a few other forumes that TBM is selling out the existing SD model line?? If so , that's sad , because TBM was a huge seller of the TOC line , hopefully things get worked out.

Actually Gmoney....i didn't know what was going on , that's why i asked. No reason TBM couldn't sell both ya know? And since TT owns SD Models , i figured they would try and sell their aircraft through all the big ARF dealers.......you would think anyways.

My company was a dealer for Aviation Models and then SD Model, now with pleasure we are still selling the same great airplane as a dealer for Thunder Tiger through ACE Hobby Dist. We received the first shipment of TT-TOC/SD airplanes this week and they are still the same great quality that they always were. We at Valley View RC feel that this is the best gas engine airplane on the market today. Thank you Thunder Tiger for saving a great airplane company.
