Cambell Custom Kits
« on: February 25, 2015, 09:50:57 PM »
Cambell Custom Kits has a new owner.


 25th February 2015


PRESS RELEASE

 
Retro RC LLC is pleased to announce the acquisition of Campbell’s Custom Kits and Brand X Kits, due to the retirement of their founder, Lee Campbell.
While all designs will be converted to fully laser-cut kits as stock of each is exhausted, we will be keeping Lee’s legacy alive by continuing to sell them under the Campbell’s Custom Kits name.

We will offer Campbell’s line of full kits, short kits and plans, including Hand Launch Gliders, Catapult Launch Gliders, Tow Line Gliders, indoor and outdoor Rubber Power models and Competition Gas models (many of which are suitable for electric conversion).  Some of his most well-known kits include, Jabberwock, Gollywock, Polly, BoWeevil, Sweepette, Thermal Piglet, Straight Up, Souper 30, Jesse James, 1/2A T-Bord, 1/2A Maverick, Sloworm 300, Smith Mulvihill, Lanzo Stick, and many more.

We will also carry many of the accessories and supplies that Lee offered, including rubber bands, DT fuse, props, timers, flying accessories, rubber etc..

As these kits become available for shipping, they will be added to Retro RC’s website www.RetroRC.us.com , on the “Campbell’s Custom Kits” page.



Sincerely

This is great news. Over the years I have built almost
everyone of Campbell's HLGs. Great flying planes. I have
also visited the Retro RC booth at the Toledo show several
times. Good guys who turn out fine products.

        I love the gliders. I've been looking for the Merlin. Are all of them still going to be available?

Probably not the Dyna-Mo, it never was in the original Campbell's line-up...but wait!, there is one available in the classifieds as I am typing this AND for a very reasonable price. Me, I'll go for a few HLGs and a Comet Phantom Fury if it makes the cut.  8)
