I put this idea out once before and didn't get any concrete responses. But there are valid questions that should be dealt with... so a new thread might hopefully put some heat under the issue.
I'm not out to offend anyone (at least not right away), but the Taylorcraft owners deserve to know whose cards are where. Wake up guys, time to become more informed whether the information is pretty or not !
Recently it became public record (and posted here) that a company called D&E Aircraft became a majority shareholder or owner of Taylorcraft. There are several things I feel are important to know or to ask:
1. Why has D&E been silent and invisible, not coming forward, saying who they are and why they bought T-craft and what they are going to do to cure Cancer?
2. Why have they been silent during all the recent strut issues? That's the big one.
3. Is Harry Ingram still the owner of the type certificate or not... yes or no... and if not then why is D&E letting him be in a position to masquerade as the owner?
4. What is the official and unofficial relationship between D&E and Ingram?
5. How good a businessman/woman can D&E Aircraft be if they allow Ingram to still be the figurehead for the company, considering the bad blood surrounding him?
Sincerely and honestly, I have no good or bad information about D&E. They may be "the good guy" riding in on the white horse. They may be Jim Bede. They may be straight shooters who love Taylorcrafts. If they do own the type certificate then by all rights they should stand up and say they do, and show who and what they are and want to do.
The silence is deafening, and silence from them in this situation is not a good sign.
A 100% legit, caring, and honest company should NOT be "sitting back and waiting for all the combatants on the battlefield to die off" before stepping forward. That's something that smells like sneaky instead of above boards. We all hope that the next owner of Taylorcraft will be better than the last, and assuming that D&E is the new owner it is time for them to introduce themselves.
Can anyone and everyone who knows something about this please post what they know. NOT "more coming soon" or "time will tell", but facts and intentions and legal positions.
