Will they be available at WalMart. This whole everything built in China should scare the hell out of all of us. But being a fan of the fh 1100, mabey they can do what Nevel(sp?) couldn't. Hopefully the FAA wont screw it up.

I see Brantly is building the Brantly in China now too. The TX factory is also building up to 12 in 09', will prob go to China too. A good source said the factory raised the price from 170K for a newun to 230K. I kinda get the feeling we will loose Brantly to China.

Brantly seems to have been going downhill for a while now. The price increase certainly doesn't help with getting new customers either.

 

Hiller also needs some help, so hopefully this China deal will end up being a good thing since I pick up my Hiller on Sunday.

I wonder what they are going to use for an engine?

I would think they would still use Lycoming...? Maybe they will upgrade to a fuel injected version
