Thanks BIGDZ, we've been promised parts for the next batch by Monday, then we will ship all the new pre-orders, which are almost sold out already.
Strangely the German company that makes these parts got the color wrong (This has happened 3 times times before!). We will contact a new company for the new kits to avoid silly and unnecessary delays.
They work very well, but that cannot seem to memorize the correct color, which is quite frustrating. Anyway, you will get the kit very soon and should enjoy the added stability, which quite frankly is as rewarding as the extra peace of mind. At first we thought it was just our 'Biased' impression, but we've got feedback that matches our feeling of stability. Probably the engine sync helps quite a bit.
As for the props, it seems that we cannot find the right material for the prototypes. We got 4 different propellers made, but none is stiff enough for flight. In order to test props with the right material, we would need to create molds, but the cost would probably not justify the investment, which would most likely exceed $10k in molds alone, if make with excellent quality. This would also not 100% guarantee the performance of the props which are supposed to be 13% more efficient, but that is based on a computer model (A very smart computer model, but still...). |
