Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth




I guess it's old age, but after getting back into the hobby after a long time one often wonders....Whatever happened to......

E.G.  Bob Byron, the founder of Byron Originals, the best Giant Scale Warbirds kits.. He would hire an island once a year, and anyone who bought a Byron Original was invited, and then there would be a recreation of WW 2! Heard that after his death, the co. now only sells fuel  Sad

Any more such guys?

RCM the Mag went out of business. They are still around selling lots of plans and accompanying magazine articles (from RCM). Here is the link
 http://www.rcmplans.com/
And apart from the plans there are some old magazine reviews of engines and other stuff free to view.
I buy plans from them and they are great to deal with

Byron Originals was run by Byron Godberson...they were and still are a large company that makes all sorts of things, like lawn furniture, boat trailers, etc...
The models were a passion project of the owner, and when he died, the liability associated with the models(they got sued several times) became too risky, they are a large company and very vulnerable to lawsuits...and they closed it up.
Eventually, the molds and such were bought by another company, Iron Bay, who never really did anything with it.

Wow! They don't make them like Byron any more!

BTW, anyone remember Sailesh Patel, the super hot Jet Flyer? And, whatever happened to Bob Violett models?

Well...they actually make much BETTER than Byron now! Smiley Our stuff is bigger, better, and cheaper...
BVM is still very much alive, still making the best quality jets around...the Electra has to be the finest EDF in the world...
I don't know if Shalish Patel is still active, but every once in a while, you will see a Sabre from one of his kits come up for sale...

No doubt. But I meant the kind of grand expo that he organized

Glad to know Shailesh Patel is still around...used to read about him in RCM & MAN

Wonder who were the first Rc flyers in India. I remember attending an aeromodelling NCC show in the early 70's, where Mr. Dosu Bhiwandiwala gave a demo of an Rc plane. Any ideas?
