Even at a lower cost airframe, the total cost is still going to be somewhere around 4k so I am not ready to send money yet either. I need to see a quality video on a calm day with a mix of high speed and low speed flight. When I pre ordered it, I had assumed there would be flight video of the prototype long before they would become available for sale. That is how it is usually done. I just picked up a used Ultra Flash airframe a month ago because I didn't know what was happening with this thing and flying season is here.
