Okay, but failing that maybe we can help him make a 'go' of it. For example, there's lots of stuff that Skyport just gets from Univair and resells (at about the same price). That's semi-useless. They just get about a 15% markup. If you're an A&P you can buy at that rate from Univair, provided there is a business name involved. There are some unique 'kits' and STCs that Skyport sells, and that's what we really need. The other thing that Lee did was some technical counsel, and let's face it, that is gone. However, that doesn't mean that Skyport can't assemble some resources. Not the least of which is this group. Just running the business like it was run when Lee was there, with years of experience and the American Champion factory backing it up doesn't make good business sense. At risk of sounding entrepreneurial (I work as VP of Engineering for a web design firm that has survived the DotCom Debacle), perhaps some of us with some sense of this stuff could engage Ron in a conference or email discussion to help him discern how to re-define SkyPort. Indeed, STCs and the ever-convenient Skyport parts kits are right up the same alley as Balsa USA's model kits. Theyr'e also what Univair DOESN'T sell.
