    Hello Guys, 


    First off, I want to apologize  for the lack of an update, we have been extremely busy with testing the prototypes. We are currently working with what we believe will be the final airframe. Some of the changes include bolted-in (removable) Carbon fiber landing gear as well as a lighter and stronger wing structure. We are diligently chasing every gram we can to increase the useful load fraction [the ratio between empty airframe weight, and the max take off weight to include payload and fuel (or batteries in this case)]. On top of this, we are aiming now for an advertised 8kg MTOW. As far as release, we are planning to put the airframe up for sale late this summer (August/September). This being said, keep your eyes peeled as we will be introducing a few other very exciting products in the near future.

    Hi Justin

    Hello Tommy, currently we are deep in testing. We are getting everything perfected with the airframe, so as to avoid those "version 1 woes" that we so commonly see in this hobby. We are working diligently to release this airframe shortly. It is currently on what we hope will be the final pre-production sample, and it will be released this summer!

    Sincerely, 

    Justin
