When ordering from Raidentech, I always make sure it's in stock before buying. I've bought 8 planes from them without any shipping issues. In fact, I placed online order on 2 more this tuesday and got fedex email telling me the birds got shipped out yesterday. It's true if they don't have it in stock, you can wait for months for the planes to arrive by ship from china. So, if it's out of stock don't order one.
