GUT Works marketing director Travis Atwood says the company will introduce enhanced Thunder Mustang kits in 2002 that will reduce build time. Prices for the fast-build versions have not been announced. Credits T homas Wathen, the new owner of New Glasair LLC and New GlaStar LLC, announced a schedule of credits for builders who were damaged by the Stoddard-Hamilton bankruptcy. Effective August 1, discounts and credits are being offered on the repurchase of complete or partial kits and other parts and components. Certain conditions must be met.
All orders are subject to current pricing.
The offer is available only to those who filed a timely proof of claim with the Stoddard-Hamilton bankruptcy court and have not received any reimbursement for their deposit or payments through their credit card company. No cash payments or refunds will be made. Local EAA chapter members volunteered their time and skills to help at SkyStar, and Kitfox owners volunteered their aircraft to fill the display spaces at Oshkosh. Having dodged a bullet, SkyStar will be well represented at AirVenture 2001. The problem was caused by a misrigged carburetor during initial startup of a new engine in the Cessna.
