So is it just the blue Angel's one that's delayed then? I have the base grey pnp on order. I placed my order on the 14th May. Base grey pnp is still saying late June on EU website. But the guy who responded to my email earlier told me late July now. Surely he would have checked my order number to see what I have on order before giving me the information?
The current ETAs on the European website as of this writing are correct, We are working with the carriers to determine if there are any other surprises, but it's 3:30am in China here so there will be some lag between our US partners and Asian partners. We'll update the website and post here in Squawk if there are any other changes. Several shipments depart monthly so on balance we're trending on target on average. If there are any changes, we'll do our best to meet the ETAs, including creative solutions. Thank you for your continued patience!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Curious for those of you already flying this model and dialed how you like where you have the CG. Is it at recommended? I am curious because I am wondering if it is a bit tail heavy at recommended or just a perception thing.My YouTube RC videos:

Is there a grey version coming out (not the base grey)? If so, any ideas when it will be in stock? My understanding is that the base grey was bought out just so people can have a basic grey jet but FW were/ are in the process of bringing out a painted grey version with decals.
thanks

The only obvious tail heavy setup I've seen this far was James' custom, armed version.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

Judging by the few videos we've seen this far, including a few of the crashes, assuming they are running manual CG, it looks nose heavy bordering on the extreme (in my opinion).

You are correct! I flew my zippy painted up Gray version today for the first time and it is nose heavy. I have the aft. end of my 5000mah 6s against the MCB-E. Now I need to figure out how to get it even further aft. Adding weight is not an option as I am flying at a DA at over 3500 ft.

Same here, I am no where near my MCB-E, using a HobbyStar 5200 75c, seems to be fine, my elevator is 8mm at the neutral point instead of the recommended 7mm, didn't think I was that far off, I might go back a little bit and try it, don't want to end up like poor James roller coaster ride.:Crying:
I was like what is going on but then I read the title. poor James oh well I think he'll fix her up and get her going again

Thanks fellas...It may be just a bit wonky due to the flight failure and subsequent crash on the maiden. I will keep tinkering with it while I wait for the pristine one to ship to me.My YouTube RC videos:
