UE, Billy Trucks, FLM, RCM

The subject of UE always seems to induce some kind of excited emotions and anger for some reason. Some people respond from the premise that Robin is a peronal friend of some kind. If that is the case then please try to talk with him and get him to speak out to the R/C public and express his feelings in a way that will help us understand why any of us should defend or support UE at this point. Yes we love the UE products that has never been a question. The thing that I think we all feel so jaded about is the lack of support from UE. Sure there may be a few people who can still squeeze a part from Robin here and there, but he has pretty much abandoned the R.C community as a whole. I have purchased UE gear both from EBay and from UE directly, but only in limited quantities. This is not a subject for any of us to argue or fight about. It is a subject in which we can discuss and come together in search of a resolve that will help us all overcome and maybe find some answers. If anyone knows first hand what is going on at UE then great, share it with us. If not then it is all just speculation. We have all head rumors to the effect that UE was going to bounce back and refill the shelves in the last two years. If UE does plan to produce any of their famous toys, then why not release that fact to the general public and shut everyone up? All of these emotions and discontent are being fueled by the silence comming from UE. Like I shared with Robin a while back if he treated Harley Davidson the way he is treating the R/C community he would be embroiled in a battle with them. Maybe that is the problem. We are a large community to be sure, and we produce a steady flow of money for this hobby. So somebody is going to step up and make some $$$$ one way or another. If not UE, then someone else. Simple economics supply and demand.
