All of their assets were liquidated in their Alameda location. I bought some power tools from the auction went to pick it up and saw this really long wing span in a hangar. I asked the people with the liquidators what it was and they told me it was used for power. Then I remembered reading about this company in Wired many years ago and felt it would be something cool. Well I own some power tools they used to use so that’s as close to having their history with me.

How do you find out about these auctions, generally speaking?

  There's websites for disposition of company assets when they go under. The Makani auction was advertised on the Silicon Valley Disposition website [0] for a while. [0] https://svdisposition.com/ https://svdisposition.com/

I heard that one of our wings (SN1) will be incorporated into a playground somewhere on the Big Island of Hawaii (where someone bought it at auction). It would be fun to hear what comes of our other stuff.
