I really don't have the room for another 40%. I have to think about when I move in 2yrs. If I stayed put it would be a non issue but the Military doesn't do that.

A 35% version though will fit without much issue (if I make the rudder removable).

it's kinda like the "hell's angels" term i think!!! LOL

Doc has been a BIG help to us and it is only fair that i give credit where credit is due, especially in a public forum. we would be up a creek, web-wise, without jason. he is a great example of an FG Brother!

OK!!!!!!!!

The website is up and we have announced our initial production run of the Edge and Extra. We are gladly taking $100 pre-order deposits on these kits as of this coming Monday. We have every intention of a mid-late September shipping of these and we are certain that this first run will sell out quickly.

As we have said earlier, our Sukhoi SU26's and our Yak 54's will be in our second run of kits and we will be starting our "Pre-Orders" for these in early September. Our other airframes will follow these as soon as possible.


On the Pricing area of our site, you'll notice an asterix. This notes at the bottom of the page to inquire about our "Introductory Pricing Specials"... Ok guys, here it is......

During our first run of Extra 300 Midwings and Edge 540's, Those on the "Pre-Order" list that have reserved their order with the $100 deposit, will recieve a $150 discount off of the posted price on the 123" products and/or a $75 discount on the 106" products!!!! Jump in and take advantage of the savings guys! That's enough money saved to buy your covering!

For those of you that are thinking..... "Hey, these are priced higher than the previous Aerotech's were".... Please keep several things in mind...

1- These kits have std carbon tubes instead of the previous owner's aluminum.
2- These kits are CNC'd now and require MUCH less prep work for assembly.
3- These kits have a CNC Tabbed and Interlocking lightened motor box STANDARD!
4- These kits get to you RIGHT AWAY and are backed with the service you deserve!
5- The 35% size kits come with Standard Carbon Fiber Wheel pants.
6- These kits come with a hardware package from FASTENAL! No cheap "China bolts".

We are offering a tremendous product at a price that is right in line with the Builder's Kit Market, and substantially less than some of our competition.

We are confident that our customers will not only enjoy the products and service they receive from us, they will agree 100% that we are the best VALUE for the dollar in the Giant Scale Builder's Kit arena.

Get on the list guys!!!! It's time to "Buy and Fly" your new Aerotech!!!!!!!

Why not make your signature a link to your site. That way folks can just click it instead of typing.

BTW- prices are not that bad. I hear the 35% Su-26 calling my name.......any body out there want a good 3W150 or do any of the builders want to work a deal on a motor for a build ('cough' Rob/Gordo 'cough')?

Curious if you are planning to offer a similar discount on the first run of Sukhois and Yaks, or just the very first run ?

Thanks !
