When a supplier such as JBL doesn't sell components for a while, and sells replacement parts at highway robbery price, I think the message is clear: bring your business elsewhere. Therefore, as Eaulive mentionned, I think it is the enthusiasts' best interest to support local aftermarket suppliers into improving their product. "Supporting" could include working with them into making better recone kits. If it allows a couple American workers to get a job, I am all for it...
Perhaps I can even invite the dudes from Mackenzie to this discussion. Afterall, aftermarket suppliers are not neccessarely the ennemy.
