    I've pretty much reached the point of "over it". I would have liked to be in the 1st 500 or so for preorder but not going to worry about it any more.I'll just hope the supplies hold out until I get one.
    I had planned to order the Avanti after ordering the A-10 but now I'll let it go at JUST the A-10 if it ever gets released. Today has really aggravated me a lot.

      Actually I thought this was fun - most of us has had a blast waiting to order our new plaything. It's been this long, a few more minutes won't hurt. Hang on a little longer, we're almost there! :Cool:

        Not doubt it will have been worth the wait. MCR just likes to get it right the first time out. :Cool:

          I've gotta say.. The Avanti, now with the clear canopy, looks WORLDS better than it did before. Almost buyable for me.

          JF 80 on 8s maybe? I think I could get down with that!

            Here's my positive spin........they are making a pre-order special introductory price similar to as they did with the Avanti :) :Cool:

              After a time, you may find that 'having' is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as 'wanting.' It is not logical, but it is often true."

                That weapons package shown in the new picks looks pretty good. Wonder if it will be included or an option....

                          If it's like the other Planes weapons packages? It's a Optional purchase.

                              Guys as a courtesy to ya'll who are going understandably crazy waiting for this bird to hit pre-order status (and I'm right there with ya!) a little update.

                              I spoke with Mark and after speaking with Freewing late last night it became necessary to make additions to the product page and mailer we will be sending out. He told me the plan is for EOD today so that puts it around the 6pm CST hour. So that would be the time to start priming your favorite F5 button pressing finger. I hope you all understand this is not normal procedure to offer so much insight to customers in real-time but we feel due to the popularity of this model and your loyal participation in this official thread that it warrants special circumstance. I can speak for everyone at Motion RC that we appreciate your patience - as taxing as it can be - and understanding. So you can relax, go grab lunch, rest assured you will not miss out on your pre-sale A-10. Come back around 6pm CST (or a few minutes before) and get ready.

                              When your F5 shows you this image on our main page, you know the wait is finally, mercifully, over. :)

                                  It would be cool to see a counter,telling us how many kits being sold as the pre-order starts! :) Guess it would race along as a mach-meter in a X-15. LOL

                                      The only project, I've got waiting for "the Bench', is installing the New 3 Color Afterburner rings, on the FW F-15. Cleaned off the Bench & workspace in prep. for painting this "Bad Boy" up for JUNE. At this rate, I should have the F-15 done before the "Pre-Order Page" is up......LOL
