Are we certain that this is indeed scam though? There are plenty more retailers of Freewing products around..

Got it before Motion came up saying they were a scam site.
Maybe I just got lucky.

Motion changes the expected date as preorders sell out and new shipments are put up for preorder. I'm pretty sure it was mid October when the first preorder started. I can always be wrong though and if I am i apologize and with sit back and semi-calmly wait some more.
And I guess it really doesn't matter because I won't build it until the TV rear end comes in. At least not a complete build. Probably a semi build to include swapping in my waiting 8S set up.

I recall it always being late October and I pre-ordered a few minutes at most after it was up on the MRC website, but would be happily surprised if we get them sooner. In my mind that meant last week of October, so anything sooner is a bonus.
I plan on tacking on the rear and going flying stock. I've got an 8S setup ready, but made myself a deal to get at least 20 flights in in stock form to do an honest evaluation before changing anything.

I remember when I bought the Mig29. I waited till the pre-ordered planes started to ship before ordering mine thinking I'd get in on the second batch (being how the first batch was "sold out"). Lo and behold, I got shipping notice immediately and received my Mig a week later. Either someone cancelled or they brought in more than they had pre-sold. Patience is never a bad thing.

According to Motion's website, all servos are standard direction, thus buying a reverse servo for the extra canard will be needed to be able to hook them together on a gyro with a Y-lead.
If you don't plan to use a gyro on canards, you can set them on separate channels.
...or just resolder servo motor/potentiometer wires to reverse direction.

Y-ing control surfaces and nozzles is not recommended though, since you don't want surface trimming to also affect your thrust lineFreewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

Do it. After each flight do mechanical trim adjustments of the elevons so you are not messing with the canard or TVs.
I assume you are considering this since you have limited channels on your TX or RX? I don't have limitations and won't do it on mine but I'm me and you are you.

I know Alpha said late October but MRC is usually pretty conservative on this (under-promise, over-deliver). Anxiously awaiting a shipping notification any minute now as well as an update on TV availability. Understandably many factors out of their control but we finally have some nice cool flying weather in North Texas.
