The Beta testers have already been selected and notified. I hope to have the first run ready to ship by the middle of November. Seeing is we're in the beginning of the beta testing it might be a bit longer. I used the prototype again today and it works well but I think I can make it better. I'll have a couple of them at the D2 Championship on the 18th. I hope to get feedback there and make those changes for the production run. Cost is always a concern and we're trying to refine the design and building process to keep the cost down. Ease of use and sturdiness is paramount. The stand must also not be easy to damage an airplane on. I don't care how it's designed you put and airplane in it and push down hard enough you're going to crack something.

I bought a stand over 15 years ago and at the time ($150) I thought the price was very high but having used it for those 15 years it was really cheap in the long run. The problem with the other stand was it wasn't very user friendly, big and heavy. These stands are being made of Oak for longevity. I assure you you can put 100 pounds on this stand with ease.
