Nuttcaze has convinced me that it would be great for the world of RC helis if we can get this product back on the market. Let's do this. Here's what I wrote to E-Sky:
Hello;
I'm new to rc helis, just this year. I own three models now, and I'm ready for my 600 class heli.
I want to get the E-Sky E-Smart. I heard a rumor that it has been discontinued, and that you may be reissuing it at the end of the year. This is a note to encourage you to do just that.
Please let me know when it will be available.
In the mean time, I'm am going to do everything in my power to encourage other flyers to take a look at it, instead of all this Align obsession we see today.
One thing is certain, this heli was not given it's due. If it wasn't popular, it's due to a lack of awareness of what it was, and what a great value it was.
It reminds me of the TV show, Seinfeld. Seinfeld was not a popular show when it came out. It was said that it was only for "smart" people, and that TV audiences were accustomed to dumbed down content.
When the show was cancelled, there was an outcry from the "smart" people who enjoyed the show, and were sorry to see it go. When Seinfeld came back on the air, the viewers had more appreciation of it, and word spread about how the show was rescued. An advertising campaign was launched, and Seinfeld, as you may well know, became the biggest sitcom in TV history.
Perhaps the "smart" people who will like the E-Smart will not launch the product into Super Stardom on their own. But I feel certain that a little word of mouth, a few Youtube videos, and a little help from us loyal customers will go a long way toward estabishing it as E-Sky's flagship product, a miracle of performance, size, and affordability.
Now back to y'all here at RC Guides. Let's help Nuttcaze, and all of us by participating in this experiment. We're all like salesman, working for a company with a product in which we believe. Step up and do some emailing, and tell your friends about it. If you have one, put a video of it up on Youtube. Bug your local shop about it.
Take Care For Now, my friends;
Sincerely;
Mick
