RE: V-22 from Texas
A few more teasers from RotorMast.com Tom tells me that the September 2010 release is still looking good. I'm number 11 on the preorder list and am very excited about the quality and capability apparent in the text, video and pics that have been released to date.
Tom Mast is the genius behind this new product is a Staff Engineer for
Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. and a long time R/C designer and flyer.
At 1:18 scale, this baby will have a couple of my 21st Century 1:18 scale USMC helicopter pilots in the cockpit. I knew I'd find an office for these guys.
Cheers - Boyd

RE: V-22 from Texas
Swapped e-mails with Tom Mast today. The initial ship out may slip aweek or two. This is a complete and very complex vehicle and Tom is aiming to minimize bugs before release. To that end, Larry (v22chap) and I will be getting a pre-release kit to scrub and recommend fixes. This should happen NLT 8 October 2010. I know there is always a little disappointment when these delays occur, but I'd rather the buyers (myself included) would rather have a working Osprey and avoid being a BETA tester.
Larry and I will keep you updated as the process converges on a ship date.
