Bob,

Fleet was manufacturing and distributing - not simply modding and repairing. I suspect that they folded because of the inability to compete with imports and the costs of putting a new Tx line through EC type approval. Given that there does not appear to be anybody on the market offering the service and that there is a demand (I'm sure that I'm not alone in this?), then there is the makings of a small niche market that should keep somebody profitably occupied.

Last May (2006) I sent my complete XP/FM incl 7 servos to Lippeats for a service and re-callibration and still haven't seen anything of it-I am truly ------ off!  >:( >:( >:(

I've managed to get through on the phone once or twice and have had promises but no action. The website is still active but can't make contact-I guess it will have to be put in the hands of the Office of Fair Trading

The pity is I really liked the kit

Is anyone else in the same position?

Rob

BarryM:
Rob,

You're lucky to get a reply! All I got was either a recorded message or silence.  It's a great pity that a once very reputable company (with its former owners) has ended up this way. I wish you luck in getting your gear back. Do you live close enough to try banging on their door?

Barry M  :'(

RW:
Thanks for your thoughts Barry.

I live in S Wales near Chepstow so I could pay them a visit-will probably take a trip next week-will keep you informed of progress.

Cheer

Rob
