Just because they seem to be shipping the left over stock does not mean the company is back up and running. They are not replacing missing stock items that tells you everything you need to know

It doesn't tell us anything. Certainly not everything I need to know. Could be clearing out old stock. Could be they are recuperating from troubles and things may pick up again. The communication has been dodgy in the past, so you just really don't know. I'm praying they may be coming back in some meaningful way.

Well, in this case, I would say there previous lack of communication gives me a little more hope that they may still be viable. This is not a hole lot different than their previous behavior.

The quote bellow is what is somewhat giving me a faint hope they are selling again..
I know they had absolutely no canopies whatsoever, so if they sold a canopy to the guy in question, they must have some again, which could lead me to believe they may try to comeback. In any case, I still have mine, still fly the snot out of it, and when it dies, it dies... I'll get a 700 from another brand...been wanting to give them over rated TDRs a try, or even a SAB..who knows Kind regards Alex |

So they would have to at least get someone else to sell their 500 who isn't affiliated with Avant... Or Avant would have to have died and been sold to new owners. Otherwise, I wouldn't trust anything they'd say. But if I could find one, kit-in-hand I'd find a way to buy a 500-550 if they sold one. |

They're done. I am sure they are just finding leftover stock and selling it when they get time/energy to do so.

And you know this how? Because people would certainly appreciate any substantive answers on the situation. If you have good sources, then please share, otherwise, inhale and keep the smoke to yourself. ;-)

Frankly, if they do come back, I will probably ditch mine after I crash it anyway. Their business practices stink! It only takes a minute to release a statement and put one on your website.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love how smooth and quiet the mostro is, but it just isn't worth it to me.

Its a great shame if they have gone , I absolutely loved my Avant Aurora E it flew really well . The Mostro's I had were equally as good and I couldn't fault it whatsoever. But he ho time has moved on and im flying other stuff as you do !

More likely someone came into possession of the building and stock and decided they could make more money clearing it out then by selling it all as scrap aluminum. That's what happened to the Quick Worldwide parts stock when the owner died. New owners had no idea what they had, all they saw was boxes and boxes of incomprehensible pieces of metal so they sold it all to a scrap dealer to be recycled for a few thousand dollars.

It is within the realm of possibility that they are making parts per order. Augusto had more than a few CNC machines that were all programmed for the parts he needed. Anyone with just a little machining experience could cut out just about any CNC'd part on the mostro without much fuss. I know for a fact that they were making parts per order for the Aurora around this time last year, because he told me. Definitely could be doing the same for the Mostro now.
