Tony H Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hi All, Does anyone know if Flair Models are still in business and are able to sell kits and spares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgar Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 They stopped trading several years ago, you will see second hand kits for sale from time to time, they command high prices. There are some companies on eBay offering parts, ribs and cowls etc.but not much else that know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan H Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The strange thing is that the Flair website (flairmodels.co.uk), although clearly well out of date, is still up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Over the last couple of years all the old Flair stock and office equipment was sold off on Ebay. I bought some of it. I assume the lease ran out on the property they were renting. As far as I can gather there were 2 people involved. The owner and someone who was employed to produce the kits. I was given the impression that he was still producing kits somehow, but only on demand from those who knew him. The owner of Flair has been approached by several people wanting to buy the rights to the kits, but won't sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 A guy from the midlands regularly advertises on the BMFA, for sale and wanted (I sold a Yak 55 to him). I think he's trying to corner the market! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be sure as I didn't keep any of the pics I sent him when negotiating the sale. He isn't making a lot on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
