The plane icon on the website did have a drop down for all aircraft. IALWAYSCRASH, try to keep the faith. It appears to me that work has been on the site. Homepage is different...etc Also, the "Airplanes" link\icon is not the only one not working. Matter of fact, the only link\icon that does work is the "Home" one. Now they all just started working, some 10min later....

Don't worry, you will have your plane sooner than you would if tou were waiting for some other companies. I shure hope you don't fly Futaba and have had paid for your 2.4gh module that was supposed to be in in September and still is not in.

Futaba doesn't take people's money before they have product available for sale - maybe your LHS does, but not Futaba. You need to come up with something better than that. If there was no money involved here, everyone could just write this off and find a plane that is available now. But that's not the case here - not very professional if you ask me. The least there should be here is some publicly posted info for your deposit money, IMO.

They get you to put money down so you don't get tired of waiting and buy something else. Good business strategy I think. Their not the only one to do it that way. Its always baffled me at how many people will reserve a plane they have never even see fly. That being said I'm sure it will be a great plane based on how the others fly. The great thing about RC now is there are plenty of great ARFs out there right know. Lots of options at any size. Hopefully these guys will get their planes in time to build before the season starts, got my first flights of the season last Friday.

I'll let you know where they are as soon as I know. Just put in a call to Kevin, he will get back to me as soon as he can.

OK guys,
I just got off the phone with Kevin, the planes should be here by the end of May. There were last minute changes in things to enhance the plane, like trim tabs, and a new tunnel for your exhaust system also enhancements for the rear carb motors and other things that will make this thing great and easier to build. You guys requested most of these things in e-mails and on the phone, so you got them even though it made it push back the release date.
For me the enhancements outweigh the wait time, I don't mind waiting another month for a product that should more than please everyone including myself. This plane will make a wonderful addition to my stable of Dietrich's which I love now, and there are a few more new airframes in the works which excite me a lot but I can't reveal anything yet because they are not set in stone, but the prototypes are in the works. Hopefully the prototypes will be fewer this time to make a product that is top shelf, but as anyone knows who is a builder and designer it takes time and a lot of changes to make a product that everyone will love, not just a few.

Well, I for one won't hold my breath until it arrives.

I will wait for the plane because I have been unable to find an airframe I like better and that will fit the gear I bought for this one, but I am still looking. There is no excuse for the "In the dark" treatment that paying customers are receiving

I got tired of waiting, got my deposit back, and went with a Comp-ARF 2.3M 330L. More money (a lot more money!), but what an airfarme! Comp planes are quite a change from the "traditional" build method, and the fuse is light as a feather. I'm taking my time putting it together, but, like always, the weather will break and then I'll get pushed to get it completed & in the air.

For those willing to wait, it looks like this plane will be a winner. I just couldn't wait.

I've already have 2 planes awaiting the table, so this one is just on the radar for now, no worries. I just wish they would have come through with the supposed video, that alone would suffice a lot of nerves right about now...

Another month? The origional estimation - the one people paid money for - was the end of February. So it's actually another 3 months. Man, I feel for all you guys...well, not really, because you are missing out on some really great-flying, currently available planes that you could be enjoying RIGHT NOW.

Off the bat, The Aeroworks 75cc planes, the new H9 Sukhoi, the SD 33% planes, and I am sure some Wildhare planes are all available now and will accept whatever equipment you bought for this plane.

I am keenly aware of what is out there and no it won't fit what I have (not enough room in the cowl). I have a 40% Wildhare Giles and a Godfrey 30% Ultimate that I am working on now or I too would have canceled my order. AND yes the video would help a little

I might be looking at cancelling and getting the Aeroworks 75cc once the flying season starts here
