Well, 'dromeda, that's what a lot of us are worried about.
It was at the end of August that I got a letter from the the Kaman VP indicating that they weren't ready for a factory tour yet (that's what I was asking for) but that they were making progress getting people trained and set up. It was optimisitic and upbeat, but no timetable was given.
If I hear anything about production, I'll post up. To my knowledge no Guilds have yet been produced in New Hartford. And, there is/was still some production of Guilds coming from Tacoma, though I can't imagine it's much at this point.
There was also a nasty rumor about some of the USA-made Guilds moving production to Mexico. A couple of people confirmed this rumor and I got no response back when I sent email to the Kaman VP about it, so I suspect it's true.
