Well, I've closed again!

After 4 years of making kits and having fun, I have closed the kit making business again. I have enjoyed the interactions with all of you (well, most of you at least :o), but I have taken on a new management job, and I just can't get the kits out in a timely manner. So, I am shutting down until life changes and I can produce and ship kits effectively.

Many thanks to all of you for the years of orders, and enjoy the videos and links that I will leave active.

Baron Johnson Flys the SX2!

See how he built it on his build thread:

Another funplanes.com SX2 build thread... by Baron Johnson

Here is one ROCKING video (15 mb) If you want to see what a champ can do with a little, Itty bitty foamy, this is the video to watch. Baron's credentials are:
  • 2002 IMAC Freestyle National Champion
  • 2002 IMAC Advanced National Champion
  • 2003 World Aerobatic Freestyle Championships - 3rd place.

So if you were wondering what this plane can actually do, it may be worth the download time to watch this. I hope more of his flights are getting taped... Cool music too...
