What happened to Ian Von Maltitz? Hasn't he been the Estes BP guy now for about 10 years?

Ed Brown will be near impossible to replace. He had an extensive knowledge and background in BP and then learned composites working with likes of Scott Dixon,et al...


Probably just getting people for expanding the knowledge pool. Can't be hanging the company's fortunes on one guy.

Try triple that.



that's Salary.com's estimate, probably not what Estes quoted.

Hobbico really screwed-over a lot of suppliers.

I bet John Langford had to put his house up for collateral before he could get suppliers to work with Estes again. Even then the terms were probably cash up-front or C.O.D.

Given what he paid for the company and what he got when he sold Aurora to Boeing, I suspect his house isn't serving for collateral for anything.
