Rotorheads and things

Airstar Intl, bought a new Haas VMC last year and are making lots of RC Helicopter parts with it now....

A little optimistic?

Those sure don't look like RC Heli parts to me!  Where did you find that?

Found their website:  http://www.airstarintl.com/

Not bashful about charging for their work!

Yeah, that's them. Joe has done well for himself. This is the company I visited last year in california. The pics are from his facebook. His life story is one of those that begins with "He arrived in LA with nothing but a clean pair of socks, and his RC helicopter" went from a drill press, to a Bridgeport, to a Tormach, to a Haas. He has made custom helicopters for Kim Kardashian's family as well as others.

The mongoose line is actually priced very well I think, his industrial stuff is waaaaay up there though.

PP - You've got the Bridgeport and the Tormach.  So when are you going to be ready for the Haas? 

...Tiger

I never owned a drill press, and have never hung out with Kim Kardashian, so my chances are pretty low at the moment. But with any luck, and the right RC helicopter design, I just might be able to pull it off someday, maybe.......

I still think I could make something out of my Christmas tree idea.........

I think you should be able to design a better helicopter than those.

Could also come up with a better celebrity to hang out with.

I think it might be cool to hang out, or at least go flying with, the DJI guys.

Here is a recent Podcast interview of Joseph from Airstar talking about the early days of video filming and where things are headed. About 30 mins long.

Is that the guy you met in L.A.?

Yes

Do you think Oregon is a market they need representation in?  I wonder if we have a large enough market for them here.

not now, but I see future potential depending on regulation.
