HeliWholesaler,

Since you are in the know. can you please give us a realistic estimate as to how many people FlyCo employs so that all of us can rest easy knowing we're not dealing with some sort of foreign owned corporate monopoly?

E-mail or call MinAir with ideas or give type of part and part number that you would like to see in aluminum so we can help them with parts manufacturing. I think it is great that we have a company that is willing to listen to the comsumer.

Yes, this is the best thing about an American company. Try calling up Align and requesting a custom part. Or even try calling Align and asking for a refund on a defective part. It will never happen.

By contrast, Brian at MA sent a friend of mine a brand new clutch by overnight delivery when his had a problem. That's what I'm talking about with customer service. Have you ever bought a defective pair of Align night blades and tried to get them replaced? I rest my case.

As for the CNC metal parts, PLEASE call them and request that they make whatever part you want in metal. I don't want to be the only one who is always pushing for an all CNC aluminum and carbon fiber helicopter.

Plastic is great for trash cans and water bottles, but I don't want it anywhere on my helicopters.

Fly co.

I dont really think they need to tell us anything. The bottom
line they bought Miniature Aircraft its theirs to do with it what they want my self i am confident that it will only get better
than it was before. Those of us who remember how sad we were when
Ron Lund got shut down look at it now with Fly Co involved, Its back
up and better than ever thats was all the prof i need. Heli proz
has always been a great place to buy and look at the growth it has
had even in this awfull economy.

PS. If only heli proz could adopt heli proz south way of listing
ma parts on the web site scrolling thru 66 pages of parts to find what you are looking for on the heli proz web site is not fun.
and i dont alway have the parts number to search.

And they have recently changed the parts numbers too!!

I just e-mail Shawn at New England Heli with a description of the parts I need and he can usually figure it out. He has never sent me the wrong part in over a year.

top notch

I'm not affiliated with any of the companies listed, just an avid MA owner for the past 7 years. I started with 2 SE's, then a Fury Expert (.70) and finally 2 Stratus'. I have purchased parts from MANY heli suppliers for all of these machines, and even had a customer # with MA itself. Momma once said "You get what you pay for", and with many things this is absolutely true. I've NEVER had any problem getting help with my machines, and they are bullet proof as far as longevity, stress resistant, reliability and 3D proven. I've talked with Brian many times over the years, and I've no reason to believe he'll be slack with MA AT ALL. American made, American owned and still one of the absolute proven performers in our sport! Forget the rest, fly the best...Miniature Aircraft!

I have a vision that is to see a Stratus with satin sliver
aluminum rotorhead and tailrotor the same way with aluminum pitch
slider and crank. Man that looks good in my eyes.

Enjoy the hobby

So you think that Miniature Aircraft will finally get on the ball and reintroduce a Stratus LE with all metal upgrade parts (now that Align make standard on all of their helicopters metal blade grips, metal tail grips, metal bellcranks, metal pitch sliders, etc)? This would be a good thing because I am tired of having to scan the classified section in case another set of metal t/r blade grips come available. Discontinued MA parts are very hard to come by these days.

How about naming it the "Stratus Bling-Bling" or the "Stratus Sparkle"?

Being a second generation Montanan, let me say that I am very proud to have such a reputable company as MA in my home state! The customer support and quality product is what kept me flying MA for over 6 years now. I couldn't be happier. Sure, the fury had it's issues- as do all the other brands out there. But you just can't beat having all the parts being made in america for such a rock solid precision machine. Thank you guys for your unparalled support and quality product! And thanks for the many smiles!
