Episode 21 - The Impact of Market Forces on Our Hobby, Part 1

Update: 2021-07-31

Description

John and Bernard Guest discuss the good and bad of running a model airplane manufacturing company.

Part 1 of 2 on the very complex subject of how market forces affect supply and demand. What could possibly cause the demise of the great and beloved scale plastic model airplane company Wingnut Wings of at all times now? Even an "average" manufacturer such as Kitty Hawk can bite the dust during this current hey-day of modeling activity. Can these two companies closing serve as some sort of warning for our own aeromodelling manufacturers?
