RPC Electronics/E-Heli Update
I am happy to announce that all pending orders shipped this past Thursday. They should already be showing up in some mailboxes and the rest will be there shortly.
Having said that, there is some inventory available after shipping pending orders. We currently have 9 multi-chargers in stock and 6 AC power adapters to go with 6 of them. Ordering for these items has been re-enabled on the website and are available for immediate shipping. I also have a very large batch of AC adapters on their way and will be updating the website to reflect those, when they come in.
I have also enabled a feature on the website to track what is being bought and to notify a buyer when the items are out of stock. The shopping cart will allow you to add the item, but when you go to check out, it will notify you that the item is out of stock. You will NOT be able to purchase the item if it is out of stock.
By doing this, there is no way we can sell what we don't have in stock. Regardless of how many times I announced here AND on the website that items are backordered and will not ship that day, I still have people placing orders and then sending me nasty emails a few days later when their order has not shown up yet.
Hopefully this will eliminate that problem.
Lastly, we have moved the E-Heli website to it's own domain at www.rpc-eheli.com to seperate it from our amateur radio division. Hopfully this will help funnel the RC buyers away from the wrong site.

Thanks again to all of our loyal customers!

RE: RPC Electronics/E-Heli Update
The price for the 3port charger and power adapter is a little high.
The 4port directly from E-flite is the same price.
How does yours compare?
I do like the fact it is a lot smaller and does look better..

RE: RPC Electronics/E-Heli Update
Our price has never changed and drove the Eflite price down. They used to charge more for the charger by itself.
Our charger is smaller in size, lightweight and can be powered from any DC source 9-12V. This means a simple 12V lighter plug can even be used for charging in a car. Our charger can be powered on just about any 12V field box battery.
We were the first to the market with a multi-charger and have sold over 250 units since it's release earlier this year.
As for the AC power adapter, we took a head count and 90% of the potential buyers opted for the adapter to be sold seperately. This was mostly due to the fact that some chargers were being shipped overseas and the users had no use for the North American AC adapter. There was no need for us to sell an adapter to someone who had zero use for it.
