Aki,
Good to hear you're doing well...sorry to hear that you were ailing there for a while.
The bad news is that Peck/A2Z is gone, probably for good. I'll let others speak to why, as my opinions are probably a bit too strong for public comment. The good news is that Ray Harlan is still in business with the precision tools/materials, Alan Cohen is still able to source OS Film, Nick Aikman is still selling awesome wood, and George Bredehoft's venture with Volare/Shorty's Basement is continuing to grow and supply everything that is needed for heavier models.
And Tan SS just keeps getting better. For an example of just how good, I did 8:17 with a ministick in Cat II using Tan SS. The model deadsticked on the way down. It has done over 7 minutes in my living room on the same motor. It is of course true that the same model did over a minute more on 5/99, but that was a motor much more close to optimal sizing, too.
