I've been playing R/C for a long time and EP for over ten years. How about an ARF in the USA Warehouse that isn't loaded with servos and fans and and etc?????? I already have all the R/C equipment I need !

you wont be seeing one here in USA for another 6months or more . 1st batch stay at there main location . untill they sell them all and then if all goes well ,there next patch goes on the slow boat to USA . this is just my opinion from me waiting on plane i may be wrong but good uck with that one

Have you guys seen this?

ready2fly Venom Swiss Edition (3 min 2 sec)

Wonder if HK (nudge nudge Scott) would look at this bad boy! I don't think Ready2 Fly ship outside of Europe so North America, Australia etc could be good markets

The Ready2Fly Venom is fairly old news. They've sold a few to N. American customers at the outrageous shipping cost of $209.00 plus the cost of the plane. They now drop ship directly from China to several locations in the world for $444.00US shipped. They also have a "kit" version coming soon that can be drop shipped as well, probably for under $300.00.
I don't see HobbyKing selling a Venom. They've got the Vampire. I doubt they'd sell enough to make it worth while. A "cheap" Venom would be attractive but it appears as though 1100mm is the target size for the new line of Durafly EDFs. A $250.00 PNP 1500mm size Vampire/Venom? I'd hit that but how many others would?
We've all seen that the Vampire has some weak areas like the front retract. Some work, many don't. I can only imagine how many "sacrifices" there would have to be to make a larger version and still keep the cost down. A lot of customers won't settle for that.

90mm foam EDF's sell badly.....we have little interest in them I'm afraid, we sell a lot more composites than foamies in that catagory.

Scott, can (will you) you tell us if it is a single 70mm or twin please.

Clive, he did say at some point(maybe not in this thread) that it was a single.

Thanks Anlucas, I must have missed that bit........really looking forward to this aircraft

So.....

Scott, test flight successful?

Full steam ahead for the production run?

They test flew it today (no idea how it went)

Yeah, it was lovely to fly, really quite similar to the Vampire in a lot of respects, looks awesome in the air, lot's of presence, just a few minor tweeks to be ironed out today and once the factory make those chages, good to go!

Any rudders on this one? I just happen to be a stick-and-rudder kind of guy.

Looks great in any case. I'm impressed with the work you've been doing, Scott!

This ones definitely on my list, will it be making it to the Aus warehouse?

Probably will but not until about the third batch................I'll bet

Thank you, very kind.....rudders? No, cost/complexity/weight are as always a consideration, however, adding rudders would be an easy job on the Sea Vixen.
