RSM Dist
« on: November 27, 2023, 11:28:08 AM »
It has been asked on a post here about if RSM will start up again.  In my opinion and I wish I lived close enough I think some one with the time should get a hold of present owner, if he is still with us and volunteer to help him to get going or start again.  Hate to think of all the stuff sitting in a ware house or building collecting dust.   D>K

It was my impression that RSM kits were run to order or in small batches, so I'd doubt there's a huge amount of kits stacked away. Balsa...maybe a good pile of it, but perhaps not as much as you'd imagine.  H^^ Steve

You are correct Steve.  I doubt if there is much of any inventory.

I looked at KR's web sight.  https://www.keithrenecle.co.za/   It' s possible but not clear how.  No prices etc.  I guess you email Keith or what ever.  He lists RSM as the US source.  Looks double but not easy.    :'(

The website also lists a supplier within the UK, it might be possible to get one that way as well.  Shipping may not be inexpensive but probably the cheapest when considering the location of the other suppliers.  He also indicates that he can process overseas orders through PayPal, just shoot him a note and see what he suggests.  Good luck.

The problem is that all I need is program sticks. Shipping is a cost killer. I have 5 KR timers and two program sticks.  I need to get rid of some of the airplanes (old age has me flying very little) and I need to supply a program stick with each airplane.  Right now it appears to be cheaper to convert each airplane to a Climb and Dive timer.
