What's next from Motion RC?

[OV10]

With this thread now hitting it's 4000th post as of this one, I guess it may not be in vogue much longer on this forum due to the most recent Motion job postings I happened to see.

Product Manager - Aircraft Products

Product Manager - Surface Products

It by all appearances may be we are going to lose our favorite Alpha as the single point new product manager for which we have all for years enjoyed his poetic riddles regarding all the fantastic releases he has overseen.
I personally hope this is not the case and that it is a matter that he is spreading the wealth of responsibolity about and is rising to even a higher calling in the Motion organization.
My best wishes for Alpha and with best regards,

It just wouldn't be the same without Alpha, hope its not true. Maybe he just needs more time to devote to getting that P-51B perfected before hitting the market

[mr.frankenjet]

Alpha has done so much to raise the bar,best planes in the industry, say it aint so...........................

Thanks for the nice wishes, guys, that's sweet. Rest assured though, I'm built into the walls so I ain't going anywhere! We've been interviewing for several weeks for several roles to add to our global team, not dilute it. Onward and upward

[mshagg]

Hold on to your wallets guys, he's building an empire!

I did mean to say that, but not so directly. I guess ultimately it's really ok to puncture the over-inflated monopoly balloon that is known as Horizon. I have been told at the two LHS locations where I shop, that the over-inflated balloon has really had a detrimental effect on their businesses and they are not cool with the "autocracy" and wish it would go away... I suggested that it was kind of like the Wehrmacht rolling in and taking over their stores...The answer was..."Yeah!"....

Yep, even on line. If you check out the Tower Hobby site, there are no more "Tower" or "Great Planes" branded models, like the Millennium Master.

Between Motion and Horizon, although I enjoy both of their products, I think it’s been clear who is the innovator, and who is playing catch-up. Yoda knows who’s got the future in hand.. :)



Alpha, Glad to hear that you are not going anywhere, can’t imagine the RC hobby without you leading the development! Hopefully these new hires can help take a bit of the pressure off you as you all continue to expand the product lines and cover more facets of the hobby.

Yeah Alpha, I applied for one position, never heard anything back from anyone at MRC, do they respond in anyway if you filled out an app.?? Thanks

And of course, with the help, this means more time for Alpha at the "drawing board".

There's no money or even a market in kits in today's "I want it now" market. Than there's the cost spike in balsa. It is what it.

Yes and no. You see, I was browsing a Chinese web site and one of the "stores" on there was the company that supplied Tower with the Millennium Master. And this has happened to OTHER web-based hobby shops that Horizon has acquired. There was one, though I can't remember the name, that specialized in EDFs. Horizon acquired it, sold their brand for a while, and once the stock was exhausted, it disappeared. And these and the Tower brand planes I'm talking about were PNP/ARF, not kits where it's just the airframe.
