Default Edmonds Aerospace

As of my last conversation with Bill at BMS. He will no longer be making any Edmonds Aerospace products. We don't know who or if anyone will.

So if you would like one I suggest you grab them while there still available. We have a few left in stock but not many.

Thank you

Mike,

Can you fill us in on the back story? Edmonds makes great, unique kits. And Bill's implementation of the kits was always first-rate. I would hate to see those kits go away.

Without getting into details. The short story is there hasn't been an increase on Edmonds kits for at least 10 years. So Bills margin has shrunk to almost nothing. Rob is kind of an absentee owner at the moment, so Bill really cant do a whole until he sits down with Rob.

I can tell you this pretty much the price of most Edmonds kits will at least double, yes I said double. The Thunder series is they are ever made again will suffer an even bigger price increase.

Doesn't mean Edmonds is done, but until Bill can hammer something out with Rob Edmonds it will remain on the shelf.
