Three more kits came out the following year. A total of ten kits, fully a third of all of the kit designs that they ever sold to the public, came out in that two-year span.


I was working for AeroTech/Enertek in 1987 and I remember FSI was making a stronger effort to interest hobby distributors/shops in their product. I even remember one hobby trade magazine had an interview with Harold Reese.
