Another vendor disappears - then reappears!


Email from MicronRC 20 May, 2014

Thank you to everyone who placed an order in the last week - the Micron staff have been working flat out to get all the orders packed and dispatched. I apologise to everyone for delays - the number of orders received in the last 10 days has well exceeded what we normally get in a whole month!

I have been overwhelmed by the number of emails and telephone calls expressing sadness that Micron was closing. So much that it has caused me to rethink the closure - I was never one to stubbornly resist change when I am proved wrong! Such an expression of loyalty cannot go unacknowleged and I have decided that Micron R/C will continue. Micron will focus on kits and specialist parts for micro models - all other items will remain in the clearance sale. More model kits have been added to the sale over the weekend and APC, GWS and Master Airscrew props plus all on-sale LiPo are now at 50% discount.

The sale has somewhat depleted our stocks, but replacements are on their way and I will send another email-shot when they arrive. Stevens Aero have a new kit for the SE5a and this is expected in about 2 weeks. Parkscale have two AR6400-type micro models in their "Wisp" series: a Monocoupe 90a and a DHC-2 Beaver. Take a look at them on page www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk/parkscale_wisp.html.

We regret to announce that, due to a combination of circumstances, Micron R/C is closing down. All products will continue to be available while stocks last and are available at discounted prices on the Sale pages - www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk/sales.html. The product web pages will remain on-line for reference, but the 'buy' buttons have been disabled; purchases should be made from the 'sale' page where the stock level plus original and discounted prices are shown.

All of the great Flight Line Plans, Stevens Aero, Mountain Models and Parkscale Models micro kits are still available and currently have a 15% discount. Take a look at them via the model browser ormodel sale web pages.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all customers for their loyalty.

Interesting new Micro kits 

Picture
Mark at MicronWings in Brisbane has just become the Australian agent for the new range of MicroAces kits from England. His contact details are under the Hints, Tips and Vendors page.

He is taking pre-orders now. I have a couple of the early kits bought direct from the UK and can attest to the quality.

Now available to order. 

The link to the MicroAces stuff is here:
http://www.micronwings.com/Products/SectionMicroAces/index.shtml

These kits are produced by Jon Porter, an enthusiastic micro builder, and feature a unique form of foam profile construction involving an extremely detailed finish. Probably a tad fast for Waverley unless you have good flying skills but these are spectacularly good looking small profiles - they are good fliers as well judging by the reports on the forums.

UPDATE: Unfortunately Jon found it impossible to make acommercial success of the MicroAces line. Micron Wings might have an odd one left.
