Phoenix doesn't have a distributor in the U.S. Or at least they don't stock them

I just bought it from their online store. How long does it take to receive it?

Thanks

I would cancel the order with the hobby store and order it directly from Phoenix. It took four days to receive mine from them with regular shipping rates. I live in Minnesota. They have had problems with their US distributor and are shipping direct for now.

I bought mine directly from Phoenix (online store). Four days is very reasonable.

I'm surprised hobby stores in the US don't inventory them.

Thanks all!

It's because Runtime got shafted by Tower Hobbies who are also the main dealer for RealFlight. Or something like that. They saw Phoenix as being too good and tried to play dirty tricks, now its backfiring on them as there is a migration towards Phoenix.

There are many threads on other forums on the topic. This one barely mentions it but there are many others. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=771944

Anyhow, even when there was stock, people in the US were saying that the UK Direct ordering was faster than domestic US.

I ordered mine last Friday so this will be fun to see who gets theirs first.

Hey Guys,

Glad I saw this thread. I am converting to Phoenix. (sold my RFG4 here yesterday) Was debating ordering directly from phoenix or waiting until readyheli had it in stock again.

It has to go from UK to APO, NY in the US, then back across the atlantic again to me in Iraq. Going to order it right now and see how long it takes.

Any links to good threads on setting up a DX7 to be used with it would be greatly appreciated.


THANKS!

Brian

Thanks HFG. I'll be honest, I lurk alot around here. When I saw You are a Phoenix user, as well as Will James..that was all the push I needed to make the switch.

Where do I find the 'Phoenix social group'?

Thanks,
Brian

Hehehe not sure i rank up there with Will :) But thx. Go to "User CP", under Networking go to "Social Groups" . Just search for us, we are the largest group so just sort all the groups by size so we are easy to find. We trade files on the group such as custom flying fields.

I forgot to mention, I ordered it directly from phoenix-sim.com in the U.K.. I tried to order it from Ready-Heli.com but they informed me that they weren't sure when or if they would be getting anymore in stock.
