I think they certainly made money on all the R8 variants. However, had you
followed what had happened, apparently due to an apparent discontinuance of
certain parts in the R8B which would necessitate a circuit re-design, Drake
decided not to do that.

Drake is a pretty small firm.

But who is to say? Drake left the amateur and swl market in the past, only to
return, at least to the swl market.
