Title: All Change at Kinetic
Post by: Anmer on December 30, 2012, 08:42:56 PM
"The New Year will see a significant change at Kinetic, as we will no longer sell our SBS-3 and other consumer products direct to the public or dealers.

Chris Taylor, our Sales and Product Manager for the past two years, will fulfil his ambition to run his own business, Taylor Made RF Limited.

Chris has our fullest support in this new, and completely separate business venture, and as of 1 January 2013 will become our distributor based at Elstree Aerodrome. Taylor Made RF Limited has taken premises from us, and we have just completed a re-organisation and building works to enable Chris to be totally self sufficient and trade with dealers and the public alike, and to be able to expand his product offerings to include other manufacturers products."

No mention at all of Pucks in the Taylor Made RF e-store.

Might have expected a 'coming soon' somewhere...

I suspect those items and prices are "work-in-progress".

What's an SBS-9?

Chalk and Cheese.  Apples and Pears.

But that's just my personal opinion.
