They have the original Swift and the Swift 2 at http://www.gravesrc.com/catagory_s/590.htm in Orlando. But I have noticed that they don't have very many of their other kits other than the Unique. I was looking for the Mustang, but nothing. A lot of the other vendors who sell their kits also have most of them on back order. So it's a good indication that something is afoot.

GFBurke · Jun 26, 2009, 03:39 PM

Well a working phone #, an email to buyers, a chance to swap scheme for one in stock , SOMETHING would be nice.

Hey G, what do you like about the Swift II? Isn't it like the old Zagi? I was thinking of making a trip over to Graves and pick up one of the MS Composit kits, either the Unigue or Swift or??

Couple of the Badius Boys have the Unique. They love them...fly great.

One of em bought a second kit and made it a biplane and it is outrageous looking and flying!

So if ya can pick up a second wing......

I can only go by with what I have/had.
The swiftII, superfly are 2 "musts" for an RC flyr.

Here is my review: http://allthingsthatfly.blogspot.com...-swift-ii.html

But order it from somebody that will take care of you.

MS Composit USA has closed.

Have they been charged for the airplanes? If so you may want to e-mail them in the Czech Republic.

Do you have a source for this info? No offense, but I would like some solid evidence of this claim. Sad sad if it is true.

I was told that by my local hobby shop who tried to call to order more Swifts. Not solid proof I guess.

Well, with the fear of not getting any more MSC product, I just picked up 3 planes from gravesrc.com. MiniSwift, EPP Trainer (Will be a night flyer), and a unique.

Hope someone picks up distribution here in the USA. Would hate to lose them since all the products I have had of theirs were great. I see nothing on the link above that says they are out of biz.

I spoke to Brian Butts who ran MS Composit USA at XFC. So you could say I got it direct from the source.

Also I am the Assistant Editor of Model Aviation magazine and we received notice of their closing. I would not post it unless I knew it to be a fact.

Plenty of them seem to be in stock at Knox Hobbies! Not sure if they would be affected if the MSComposit USA distributor has shut down or not, but I can try to find out.
