MA Rulz ! ....

MA makes high quality helis, ... still after all these years .... not only are they precise, but fast as well. it's all about quality, precision and durability (albeit being slow to market) .... not something you can say about most other brands ....

The company is far better off than it was in the early to mid 90's.
Tim has really turned the company around from what it was 15 years ago when his cranky brother, Ted, was running the place.
MA owes most of it's current success to the Fury line, from which has come the consumer confidence and money to pursue the Stratus, the Razor and the new 450.

Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours

Good to hear Mr. Fuzz. I am looking forward to getting a Spectra later this year and feeling confident about the health of the company.
A great company it is.

Setup is everything, All my heli's can fly better than I can pilot them

Don't wait on the Spectra, you'll kick yourself for not getting it sooner. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying mine!

Hey Eury I have enjoyed your posts in the Gasser section. I cant wait to get a Spectra. I enjoy my OLD 1005 min air gasser alot and can only imagine what a kick the CCPM Spectra is like. Have fun!

I'm sure Miniature is fine as long as they keep Bobby! You got to remember that this company is always geared towards a high end nitch market and not towards the masses. Align is going to snatch up mass market share but Miniature has probably one of the most devote and loyal nitch following around. They are always innovating new and greater ships and are on the forefront of design and enginnering. Two things they definitely want to do to maintain this following:

1) Keep Bobby Watts!!!
2) Meet release dates and have better timing with marketing and product launches. (psst psst stop screwing around and get that 450 electric and 50 gas out before the summers over will ya!!)

If you want a quality machine you can't beat Miniature for performance or value.

Think he means Gravesrc (.com), an MA dealer. I kind of doubt that they would be saying this, maybe just an employee of their's expressing his opinion?

Cheers,

I do not know where that Graves qoute came from. I live here in Orlando and I go to Graves a lot. I have never heard anything like that. MA is just fine.

Maybe they should design something that doesn't last as long and needs a lot of upgrades to make more $$$.

I too love the "feel", quality and performance of the MA ships. After flying and owning an Ion-X2 and Razor-e, I can say that I would buy with confidence any of their machines. I'm looking forward to their Furion450 which looks top notch.

Long live MA .
