Default SD Model's gets bought out by Thunder Tiger
Hey Guys,

I just heard that SD Model's got bought out by Thunder Tiger. Does anyone know what will happen to SD airplanes as far as parts and the production of their airplanes. I have a 33% Yak 54 from SD so I hope Thunder Tiger doesn't discontinue the airplanes or the parts.

Please post anything you know about this because I am interested in knowing what will happen with the SD stuff since I own one.

Thanks,

Neil Westdorp
