Good luck in your new venture..

Yikes... Probably hard to "distribute" when accounts have pre-existed with the large online retailers since the beginning (most notably PRC/HD)?!

How do those discounts apply to other dealers who order directly from Zeal or PRC? No MAP agreements?

....And ExperienceRC won't touch Zeal with a 100' pole.

Good luck indeed!

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

Best of luck Brian, I'll throw you some business next crash!

I don't mean any ill will at all... I'm just scratching my head wondering how this will work for him.

Let's just say this is not an uneducated comment/question/concern.

I happen to be a fan of Brian's from back in the MA days.

Yep, it's definitely a tough market. There are a lot of smaller hobby shops that don't carry Zeal yet, so I'm working to get into those shops too.

The heli market is pretty flat right now, so that ends up including parts too.

[Seasick78]

Very true! Best wishes, Brian. You've been at it a long time and are a respectable individual in the hobby.

If I was to purchase a Zeal blade I'll order from you.

Thank you, Guys. Just message me directly if you want/need blades. I always have some sort of sale going on

Are dealers plugged in on these special sales? Are MAP agreements no longer valid? Ouch!
