What planes would you like to see produced?

We are working on a VP Counter Rotating using one motor system.

Woody extream extra 360 with an envgraved woody series motor like woddy V-1...and next generation motor woodyV-2 all this tested, abushed, and used by your factory pilot for horspower and longivity....think on this one paul. He has worked hard for you and this would absoulutly be the coolest thing ever. I mentioned this to luchen also so maybe some help there. there are many way to advertise this, lighter material is removed. Factory tested.mabey a magnet upgrade or special wiring for great big horspower. It will work!!!!!

Hey...speaking of this thread...what the deal on the new counter rotating power system?

A rogue pilot need to be different from the heard of other flyers... :-)

[king160woody]

Paul seriously I think you need to do a plane advertised like what I spoke lots of pics with Jordan flying in many different places, pics of him overseeing the building, just hype it up real good you already know the plane will be good but bust it out it's one of your pilots plane and people Will by with enough hype build up.TV, Radio, hobby books with great reviews.....work this Paul and you be back in the money like Uncle Scrooge the Duck. Think on this, as I believe it will help you and Woody

Hey captain, Woody's dad here what do you think of what I just put out on this site???????

[Captain Carlton]

Wendall,

Having met Jordan, I think that leveraging his enthusiasm and hard work for promotional purposes makes a lot of sense. The trick is finding the right marketing vehicle. I have no idea how many planes Paul ships, or what his marketing budget is. Running TV or radio ads seem like a shot gun approach...and not the best bang for the buck.

With limited resources, Paul needs to finding something that will give him good results and bang for the buck. Also, Paul has to decide he likes the idea and get behind it. The idea for an Art/Design contest for an Airfoilz plane didn't go over so well.

So we need a focused marketing effort, with a message/product/"call to action" that is compelling, and that will also create "buzz."

Whats buzz? Basically when a plane or product does something that no one else can do....examples:

(1) My new VP prop can make my plan stop and go backwards.
(2) My new Lipo packs can discharge to 2V per cell, and cost half as much.
(3) I flew my plane full speed into the ground...and it didn't break.
(4) I press this button on my radio...and this new control surface pops out and the plane does this new really cool manuver.

How do you get you new products in front of potential customers/pilots...that make the buzz? And how do you do it inexpensively? Thats the million dollar question. I think leveraging fun flys...somehow. Factory pilots can help "some," but they cannot be everywhere.

The cool part...once the buzz is going...it becomes self sustaining. The cool people in the clubs...the early adopters will babble about it endlessly. Then people take notice...and the sales take off.

Anyway...this is largely an issue Paul has to get his head arround.

We have the proto done for the a VPP and a non VPP. I'm working on the details to have them made, I can't tell you more than that it's top secret.

I agree. I have the only Airfoilz in three different clubs in my area and not many people have even heard of them but yet everyone that has seen it and the way it flies love it, but for some reason, I have not seen any new Airfoilz pilots on the block. I have a bipe on the way so now they will have two planes in their faces. So I am doing my part. But you are right Captain, it is the million dollar question.

Well, as long as we're asking for planes a Katana would be awesome!!!
