Went to see the latest on the B222, everything's gone. Has the project been scrapped due to manufacturer problems or just pulled UTFN due to manufacturing problems?

Per the Official RotorScale UH-1A Medic Green 450 Size Helicopter Discussion Thread, It appears MRC has been at the mercy of manufacturing issues and this may or may not happen. No fault of MRC, Per another thread, someone spoke to MRC recently and was told that they have been shelved for the forseeable future due to some issues with the manufacturer. It's certain a bummer but that's life. We can only hope this eventually surfaces. Despite some of the negative comments in the aforementioned thread, MRC is by far one of the best in the business and they back up their products. Though the marketing may have been a bit premature, I still would much rather they didn't release anything until all was kosher. Thanks for all you do to make this hobby most enjoyable MRC.

OK, so I just had a chat with someone from MRC support online about this. He said the reason for the holdup on these is they would not all perform the same so they have been held back until the new parts arrive for the factory to do an upgrade. They just want the customer to get a good product. He says they will eventually become available but no ETA at this time. To buy something else now or not to buy....that is the question. lol

I purchased the md 500 450 size2 months ago. It says they are test flown at the factory. That’s a lie. Mine would not fly because of the tail servo not centered. Ended up sending Heli to Ed that works for Motion rc to fix it and set up the tarot gyro. Received Heli back with damage to the fuselage that was not there when it left my house. He also had to do other repairs to the Heli. Not worth buying. Also, 90 % of the parts on there sight are out of stock and have been out of stock. Hopefully they go out of business.

I known Ed for a long time back when he use to work for RCAERODYNE and I have send several of my big Helicopters to him and No matter how tight you pack your Helicopter in the box you are guaranteed to get it back with something wrong. Blame it on the shipping Company. We stuck 10 fragile stickers on the box and got one package back with a crushed corners, punctured holes, etc. Etc....

Hi Danny, welcome to Hobby Squawk! It seems each time we're ready, something else comes up in feedback from our customers that we really want to incorporate into the next batch. Unofficially, we're pointed toward the 2020 summer flying season. Officially, we'll make a formal announcement when they're ready, both here on Hobby Squawk and in an eventual episode of our weekly Motion RC Live show that is streamed on YouTube every Friday at noon.
Regards,
Danny

Thank you for the welcome. I look forward very much to the announcement. I am just starting to get into scale helicopters and, being retired Army, have a great interest in the UH-1 model.

ANY idea if/when Rotorscale parts for the MD500E (450 scale) will be back in stock? Sadly the vertical stabilizer on mine broke (my fault entirely) and I have been trying to find a replacement with no luck. I might have to break down and buy some lexan and a hot knife and try making my own, but for a low cost part like this that seems like I might be spending more money than it is worth. James / Alpha....any word on these parts from Rotorscale?
