FlyWing X-Wing Fighter

It depends on what FlyWing's criteria has been for "selling well". At the current price for a new purchase at $2400.00, that would mean they are working on numbers 400 to 500 units. Unit 501 and beyond will be at their "full" price of $2500.00. I'm sure that by MotionRC standards, 500 units for a new release would be a failure.
Your "entry level" price may be contingent upon you expressing interest (notify me) during the pre-launch and due to the fact that many buyers have since cancelled. Speaking of which, someone just announced that FlyWing has sent notices out that China Customs has now forbidden all exports of this product and almost all shipments have been sent back to FlyWing. FlyWing is now working with their customs office to resolve this but no timeline is given. Those who wish to get a refund will get it and if they wish to re-order later when the customs issue is resolved will be able to buy it at the price that was set for those getting the refund.

What a mess.

A mess, indeed. It's very strange that some have gotten through to their destinations, such as SgtRay and yet, everything has now just stopped. So far, those who have received theirs and flown it, have raved about it. The odd one have had mishaps on maiden, but it is clear those did not read the manual and listened to all the warnings.
Oh well, I guess once I get my refund, Freewing will sell me another jet sooner than later.

As of today, FlyWing has halted all sales of the X-Wing - "Out of Stock" until they can get a handle on this whole fiasco. They are offering refunds to everyone who has not and will not get their product. I have yet to see my refund but that might just mean they are in scrambling mode.
