N&W RPOs M1

[NW Modeling List]

This one never made sense to me. BLI knows how many Y6b's they sell, and
J's. And H2a's. All of this are always sold out, and highly desired on eBay
after the initial deliveries. So it's hard to believe they are barely
selling enough to make them profitable. How could a CF have been a hard
decision to make, considering the rest of their N&W offerings?
