You clearly have them in stock now so who delivered them? The Easter Bunny? And you posted this when? 9-11?

Uggg...as someone who is still fairly new to the ornithopter scene, and used to be so excited about this forum, I'm going to have to drop out now....tired of hearing how this guy keeps robbing people of there money, not sending them the products the paid for, having to have legal action taken against him to get the products delivered, etc...

If this guy is going to continue to be allowed to participate in this forum, I'm going to have to drop out now....

I want to say thank you to several of you who post regularly who have helped me in the past, offering advise, answering my "newbie" questions, etc. I really appreciate all the advise and help I've received....

Best of luck to all....off to find another forum to join....

Obvious veiled trolling.

Ok, I'm in, I want one. Looks like a perfect cross between the slowhawk and the ifly vamp.
When is it out?

The latest news is it should be in stock in the US warehouse in January. Sorry we aren't going to have it in time for the holiday season -- but I've had the opportunity to fly some samples and they are definitely worth the wait!!!

@Nathan ... your opinion is really important to me ... how do you compare the Avitron to the Fenice .... ?? especially in terms of controllability .. any info about the price ??

Thanks a lot

Khaled

Khaled, the Avitron is way better than Fenice. Avitron has a 2.4 GHz radio, much better range, steers much better, and you can adjust the tail up and down to get different flying speeds. (Surprisingly, when the tail is raised, it has no tendency to stall or porpoise.) The smaller size and lighter weight mean you can fly it in more places -- but in high-speed mode, it can handle wind just as good as Fenice. Because of the 2.4 GHz system and superior mechanism, it will cost more, but the expected price of about $60 is a great price for what you'll be getting.
