My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Looks like Mike finally got his wish & sold the company to someone. He's now chief engineer of "Autocopter Corporation" instead of the CEO of NRI. autocopter.net is the new URL.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Autocopter has been the name of their helicopter line for a long time... I wonder what they're trying to do. Perhaps bankruptcy and new separate company?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		It definitely gives new meaning to the word "Auto" copter.

Thought he was a house flipper turned domain name broker, but apparently he's a house flipper turned car salesman turned copter dealer. After be bought Autocopter, he must have been shocked when he came to the showroom to find copters instead of cars.

Sadly, this is the reality of the model helicopter UAV business. The 1 MIT aero astro graduate works on the Boeing UCAV. Everyone else goes to the Lexus dealer to work on the Auto...copter.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Whatever the past occupations of the new owner of Autocopter, he apparently has enough common sense to have cut Fouche loose. So, he's not completely stupid.

I wish him luck. Not easy starting from ground zero, especially when dealing with some of the lies, frauds, and outright thefts that Fouche leaves in his wake. With solid management, Autocopter may just prove to be a good little company.

Give the guy a chance.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		If it's a completely new company and mike is out of the picture 100% I wish who ever this is good luck. If Mike is still on staff they are doomed to fail. Either way that POS Mike FU'che deserves AIDS.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Looks like the car dealer isn't doing anything with autocopter.net. Tough business with the new entitlement programs replacing military spending, but at least he can get a free house by refinancing his IMU.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		So, because he hasn't updated the website, then he must be going nowhere with the company? Is that how it works?
