EDIT.. according to the HH site, it HAS BEEN discontinued; as in it's GONE, not ever to reappear ...! CRAP!


Wow....my first thought is that "this makes no sense..!"
However, there is some weird rule that after a China manufacturer makes a pre determined number of a certain model, they are free to copy the item and the originator gives up control...so maybe that logic figures into the decision from HH.
Also look at all the competition that's come out since the big "A" appeared. We now have Timbers and Tundras, etc..!

Apparently we have it WRONG....according to the above link the next shipment of Apprentice planes arrives in November 2018.

I believe its a "certain model of the Apprentice" that has been discontinued...not ALL models..! Confusing EH..!
