MIKADO Modellhubschrauber Appoints Exclusive USA Retailer.
(Potsdam, Germany)
Mikado Model Helicopters, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of radio-controlled model helicopters, has appointed Ready Heli (www.readyheli.com) as exclusive retailer for the US Market. Ready Heli is a well-respected retailer specializing in radio-controlled model helicopters.
The appointment is part of a restructure of Mikado’s reseller business model. With changing economic conditions, rising operational costs and recent developments in the model industry, Mikado’s goals could no longer be met with the previous business model. In the past five years Aero-Model, Inc. has supported the Mikado brand by selling it to several dealers troughout North America. We would like to express our great appreciation to all and any business partners that were part of the enterprise to get our products to the American customer. We realize that the cut we are making may look and feel radical. We’d like to emphasize that the reason for doing this is to ensure future success of our brand in the North American market, which is what we must have in mind as the company owners. The decision was made after much investigation and considering all of our options carefully. We will strive to make the transition period as comfortable as possible for all involved parties. We wish to allow the dealers some time to speak to us about their current stock. In parallel we will be stocking Ready Heli to get them ready for servicing our customers’ needs.

I had been waiting for three months now from one of your orginal distributors only to find that the shipment was canceled because of the turn over. I just want to Know the quickest way of sourcing two heli’s. thanks Grady
