Mark went and visited the factory with Alpha a few weeks back. Mark was communicating with the factory last night as well so hopefully we will know more soon.

Obnoxious, hyped up marketing has destroyed more than a few seemingly sound enterprises.

Among all the products we're bringing in, each has its unique challenges and each must meet our series of standards before being deemed ready to upload onto the website. We're not quite there yet with these 450s due to some special circumstances. As Seaviper said, it's an unfortunate risk of "business", we do our best to avoid it, and I'd feel comfortable asserting our record of timeliness and transparency is solid in this industry. This is why we didn't load the products to the webpage and start taking preorders on an All New category that has never been done before in the RC Hobby to this degree... the day that they're on the product page on www.motionrc.com, you'll know all things are GO. In the meantime, we've publicized the models here on Hobby Squawk as a preview of what's to come... which is standard practice for just about everyone. We've got many other products online, and we continue to be open to feedback from customers regarding these 450 Helos as we gauge interest and tweak the final formats for this all new model category.
Increasingly it seems many people are asking for a version without the FBL FC, so presently that is in the works.
I understand and appreciate the anticipation. No one wants these in eager pilots' hands more than I do.

You announced this far to soon, before getting all your 'ducks in a row' - from a Chinese perspective, 'charity forever begins at home'.

Do not ever market an idea - Marketing 101.
I am quite expecting a 450 Scale series to suddenly pop up elsewhere - before Motion RC ever get their act together.
By the way, the Motion RC Europe site is not worth visiting - not much works other than for the home page.

Have a bit of patience.. I work in the world of full scale helicopter flight test. A delay can come from the smallest of items, from supplier shortages on a particular bolt, to last minute design alterations and software tweaks. Schedules change on a daily, if not hourly basis. There is so much more going on in a helicopter then Motion is used to in the fixed wing world. There are 10 times the parts, all more complicated to build with extremely tight tolerances. Its better to take the time and ensure everything is lined up and good to go, rather than push it out the door as quickly as possible. Other heli manufacturers (both RC and full scale) have been guilty of that mistake before.

I can't say much publicly for a variety of reasons, Valkpilot, but you're sniffing up the right tree, my friend, in terms of "X, Y, Z".
