Hey Aros! Hahahahaha....

That has to be the funniest meme I've seen of that yet! :)

[Aros]

Apologies gents, no harm intended. Just primin' the pumps as said...Needed to refresh our main page lead in imagery and I came across that image and thought it deserved center stage. And yes, it does represent imminent pre-order status. If I have any control over pushing the live button, I will personally give you all a head's up in this thread.

[petefoss]

What no group text messageLOL

[Mike_Then]

This is great, love this community and that all of us 'adults' are so keyed up over this thing. :)

Morning gent's! Aros my friend, there's no need to apologize for anything! I believe it just shows how amped up we all are about this release. I love the fact that there is something coming out that is creating this much excitement. In a few short years, we've went from the GWS line up, to the amazing planes that Are available today. So rest easy my friend. It's all good from where I am!

Aw man, we're pulling your leg Aros! You yanked our chain and woke us all up with that pic, so we're just poking you back. We are "SO EXCITED" to see this bird coming. What's funny is the fact that we are waiting on a pre-order button to show up, and not mentioning the fact that then we have to wait for "only the Lord knows", how long for it to arrive.

So,all of this talking and wait/anticipation starts all over again. Then it starts again when the parts go out of stock.

Oh, how agonizing all of this is! :)

How about a one hour countdown starting at say, 5:00 pm? today!

They've said the preorder will open when the containers are on the water. It normally take 4 - 6 weeks from that time until they can ship them from IL.

Waiting for the pre-order of the Avanti was bad enough, but waiting for this one is even worse. Still laughing about the "dance my little minions, dance" senario from the Avanti threadLOL

I think a countdown to a precise time would result in the web site being overwhelmed and crashing due to the tremendous number of us that would hit the pre-order button at the same instant. ;)
If only for the mental health of Motion's IT guys the pre-order should be opened with no warning:wacky.
We all know it's coming soon per Aros' statement that it does represent imminent pre-order status.:)

[Oxotnik]

Have y'all seen this?



[edit] I can't carry through with this. It's just a prank.

[MikeT]

Not on the Motion site yet.

[TiredIronGRB]

Have y'all seen this?

Ordered mine yesterday ;)

[crxmanpat]

Nice try Ox. Your only mistake was using the SKU number and side pics for the 64mm A-10. ;)

[Pete Lane]

Lol..
and its 80 -90 MM....but who counts .

[Oxotnik]

I was feeling about about pranking this at all, and you guys are encouraging me to have gone the full 9 yards!

In reality, I'd say there's only going to be 200 - 300 people who actually are going to preorder this thing the moment the button goes live. The thread here and on RC Groups only has a few dedicated folks that check it regularly and when you add the "lurkers" to that count, you're not talking about anywhere near enough traffic to overwhelm an e-commerce site. I think the biggest crush of traffic is going to come the next day, when people finally get around to checking their email or Facebook accounts. The moment it goes live? It's like our club motto Dave.... "It'll Be Fine." LOL

[Crashmaster]

It's like our club motto Dave.... "It'll Be Fine." LOL

That is an EXCELLENT club motto. It can apply to so many situations both before and after a crash...

[Pete Lane]

Lol. Its OK.
EVERYTHING ?
