Bad News From AeroTech

AeroTech's lawsuit against the Clark County Fire Department has been dismissed with prejudice apparently because AeroTech couldn't afford a lawyer for some time. As a result, AeroTech has file a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. For those that don't fly solids, AeroTech is the leading supplier of mid to high power AP based motors. The combination of this and the ATF's new regulations probably means a large number of people will be leaving the hobby. While I'm sure some will think this is good news for other motor suppliers like Animal Motor Works, this hobby just doesn't work that way. What sucks for one, sucks for all of us.
