| Hey All,
Oh yeah I totally agree on the spares availability issues Century have had in recent times, these were largely due to the switch of operations to their new purpose built factory. However as you have all mentioned in this game spares availabilty can make or break a sale of a machine. As a rep/sponsored flier promoting a series of models which are good quality and fly very well, to hear of spares supply problems is a nightmare for us. This is one area all Century reps are badgering to address and it is working with new supplies getting to shops quicker than before. Unfortunately there is still hiccups for which the likes of myself can only appologise for and hope that our loyal supporters will patiently wait for us to fulfil their parts orders.
The harsh reality is that no company is without issues, even the other more prominant names have spares problems at some stages I have read. Of course that is of no concern if you are waiting for your heli suppliers to provide the spares backup.
The Raven 50 has been dropped in the UK only market place, it is still for sale in the US.
Another sad drop in the UK was the much loved Hummingbird, but then again we have a new toy to play with that is a little more advanced and capable so it's cool. .
