Status: offline 		It is not available yet, the site says June release but Parkzone is usually a bit late. From the video on their web site it looks like it will be quite capable. Good idea to wait until some early buyers post opinions. Most everyone has liked the Ember so I expect the Vapor to be a good buy.

Status: offline 		yeah, i have preordered one for my birthday . I think it will be awesome, and yeah WINGS, i saw the product video too and it did look cool doing a harrier. And i think those things are impossible to break unless you step, and or sit on it!

Status: offline 		Hi,
Vapor is coming soon! Prop shaft durability is very good for several reasons.
-continual design tweaks/improvents.
-less mass of airplane behind it
-less velocity of airplane behind it.

It is also easier to replace the shaft should the need arrise.

The Vapor harriers very well... teaches good throttle control.... (reversed command... go slower and add power). Power is very good... it punches out well for this class, and will claw up vertically through much of the battery.

It is GREAT fun, and we have a few little nice features on it.

Have Fun,
David

Status: offline 		When? Been on preorder for awhile. I don't think I have ever been this excited over a plane before. I can't wait. The UPS man is taunting me by driving past my house every day! It does look like the best thing to come out in a long time. I do love my Cessna but I just can't wait to get the vapor.

Looking good.

Status: offline 		I too am interested in this little plane. After reading other forums, I found that this place called americanrcoutlet.com has them in stock at $110 RTF. Do you guys think it would be ok to get it from here? I usually only get parkzone planes from Horizon hobby, but if I don't have to wait and pay almost 20 bucks less, it would be worth it!

Status: offline 		Very early in the AM , or very late in the PM , with NO breeze , in still air , ...........................I am really , really , enjoying flying the Vapor plane outside in front of my house
At 64 , I am just not real quick and nimble fingered , but this plane is perfect , here for me , and what I want it to do .
With the price of gasoline , its great to fly at home / around the home .
Thanks Parkzone
