Hi,
A couple of years ago at some of the major shows (Cosford, Woodvale) the
famous SLEC tent was selling its wares once again-anyone know if they are
still in business now? They had fresh stocks of T180's & T240's and there
was talk of them re-issuing the FunFly (among others). I wish I had bought a
couple of kits at the time as I can't see them for sale anywhere now (except
ebay now and again)-any model shops have some left????
Would be a shame for SLEC/Balsacraft to go under again.

Not half as shameful if Criss Foss stoped producing his kits. Buy one of
his, there better by far. Probably the best sports kits in the UK!!

The Fun-Fly re-release was not a rumour, one of our club members had a
pre-production kit sent to him few months back for assessment, not sure
on the release date. However, you may or may not have seen the new
Blackhorse 'Twister' which bar the canopy is an almost exact copy.
