Flight Control Tower (FCT)

[ffmedic74]

Who makes the flight control towers for Correct Craft? Can you buy them straight from the manufacturer if they are not made by Correct Craft? Thanks for your input!

Not sure who makes the tower itself but I am pretty sure that Correct Craft is the only place to get it.

It would be pretty stupid if CC didn't make the thing they invented... I agree with ski...(I remember when everybody, including other boat companies, thought CC was stupid for putting a tower on a boat!)

[ffmedic74]

I just figured that since their primary function is building boats that they would probably have a fabrication shop doing the tower building since it is specialized. They did the same thing with their trailers several years back.

[AbunDiga909]

True...but they didn't invent the trailer.... :wink:

[AbunDiga909]

But i'd understand if they had like a dfferent location or department where the tower was made...that i would understand...

you would be surprised if you saw how much of the boat is built all there in the factory. They do all of the upholstery in the factory from cutting it to stitching, they cut all their aluminum themselves, alot of the fasteners are made right there so that they are tailored to their exact specifications, the molds are made by them, etc. I was truly impressed with it. There really isn't a ton of outsourcing going on there which is a good thing.

yep, i remember that from when i saw the factory. One thing that amazed me was that the N logo (i went there in 2000 i think) was made by hand, so each corner and line was slightly different. You could notice it, and i thought that was pretty cool.

yes, cc did kinda invent the boat trailer. you should read 'saved from bankruptcy' about the meloons.
