FlightPower Returns To Its Roots
Autography Ltd. 30th September 2009.
We have today taken the decision to bring one of the World¹s largest brands in RC back home to its roots.

In so doing we have been required to withdraw the license to the FlightPower brand from Autography Flight Technology Ltd. and put the UK distribution up for discussion. We would like to thank the outgoing license holders AFT and in particular David House and Andrew Kirby for their efforts. Julian Cox the visionary behind the technology and brand is back.

'FlightPower was envisioned to be world-class in every respect, zero-compromise product, zero-compromise service and the finest corporate citizenship in the industry. A battery, a technology a business to make a difference in people's lives. To share the amazing properties of emerging battery technologies which are absolutely the key to a global technology transition from fuel to electric propulsion and that excites me. Most important is to be involved, to listen and learn not only how to bring people to a technology but how to bring technology to a people, to be there at the beginning. Now it is time to turn up the heat again. The world is turning, battery technology is accelerating, and the economy demands a more streamlined and faster supply chain. With new beginnings it¹s time to be there at the beginning again'.

Julian Cox, FlightPower Founder & CEO, Autography Ltd.

A new company is now in place to provide the distribution in the UK. This company is called Energon Soloutions and David House and Andrew Kirby are still there ( I think it was described as a management buy out!). They have started off by indicating price reductions of up to 25% though I cannot yet see exactly where. The company ditributes flightpower, Bantam and other products in the UK.
