RE: The 47" Arfs
I guess we can all hope this is a sealed container. Sense we've all been hoping to get one of these. I would almost take a wet one just to say I finally got it.

RE: The 47" Arfs
Well today I got to see the tracking form for the container and have confirmed that they have been sitting in customs hold facility for almost 6 weeks now. So they are not wet at least.

RE: The 47" Arfs
Well, I've posted what we know in several places but I'll repeat here. The container shipped from China has something wrong with the paperwork from what we were told. The ball rest with Alex and Accel Hobbies to resolve. Apparently this is not a customs issue contrary to what we've been told for the last 3 months.

RE: The 47" Arfs
Any update on this ARF (Edge 47)? Things are kind of quiet. I paid in full for one in Toledo (April 3rd) and have not heard any info. Thanks.

RE: The 47" Arfs
From what i have heard from Accel Hobby and OMP who share the shipment, It is still in customs on hold due to the shipping error. There is no use continually asking for an update because immidiatly after they come in it will be made known to the r/c community that these arfs are available.

That is correct. The ball is with Alex at Accel and he is as concerned as all of us. If it was me I'd be camped at the Customs dock hounding them!

Latest update is Alex has told us he has the ARFs released from customs and they are due in his warehouse today! So barring any interaction from Murphy, we plan to have them by this weekend and begin shipping next week.

RE: The 47" Arfs
Mike, Glad to hear that they are released.
Guy's trust me IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! I have been flying one of the proto types for about 2 weeks now and it is quickly becoming my favorite plane.

RE: The 47" Arfs
Well they got the ARF's so far they look great. Mikes will be doing more in depth inspections tomorrow but he reported that they are good to go as of right now. They are covered in Monokote and are trimmed as shown below. Will have lots more pics Sat and Sun.
We are taking out the landing gear and replacing with Tetherite of course. Also will replace some other hardware as well.
Will be taking orders first thing Monday morning at 10 am ET.

RE: The 47" Arfs
Hey Dion,
What do you mean by a hardware upgrade pack? Does this mean they will be coming with the carbon fiber control horns and dubro fueltank, ohio superstar tailwheel, etc etc? Or just the tetherite gear?

RE: The 47" Arfs
I'm not exactly sure what else Mike's going to add, I know the CF horns and Tetherite .... but I'm not sure what else he's putting in there. More info coming soon.
Here are some pics of the actual production ARF's direct from Dayton, OH. Real happy with them so far.
