E720 gone?

[busterboy]

Still my favourite heli.

[Howking]

I had every year another heli. This heli i got third year. E720 is the best machine I have ever had. I will have this heli as long as possible.

Well, if they get it together to "support" any of their helis with parts, they may provide parts for G4, 720, 820, right? Or did they declare that they won't?

If they orphan helis so shortly after discontinuing the kits, that would be bad.

Of course, right now it's looking like they're not getting it together to "support" anything, at least in the US.... which is even worse.

This kind of says it all right here. I'm not happy at all about it and am abandoning TT becuase of this. New birds on order and both my E700's and 820 airframes are up for sale/grabs if anyone is interested. Make offers on these if interested.

I don't believe this ?!!!

Can anyone give a clear and concise description as to why Thunder Tiger is abandoning these outstanding heli's ????????? And do not come with this market related BS lame excuse, this is THUNDER TIGER HELICOPTERS they are FAR superior in looks and on par with performance with the VERY BEST out there ! ! ! !

It just does not make sense, i don NOT like the new E700v2 just one glance and i can see it is not on par with the G4 E720 kit, and also did they now discontinue the awesome 820 too ?

What on earth is going on with this company it ALWAYS made my favorite helicopters because ONLY they get the look just right ALWAYS, and performance is outstanding always as well, and now bringing out the G4 series discontinuing them leaves me with an emptiness inside i cannot describe ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

How on this very earth do you just abandon such awesome machines !!!!!! I will never buy the E700 after i've seeing the G4 series ! ! ! ! !

I am far beyond fed up with all these trendy ghouls and ghost look helicopters overflooding the market, ONLY TT can make a HELI that LOOKS just as good as it it PERFORMS, Only TT can save the Helicopter ! ! ! ! ! !

But look what they go stand and do !!!!!!!!! ????? Why OOOOOOO WHY ?????????? You can't just bring out a heli, come out with a statement and PRETEND it NEVER EXISTED !!!!!!!

[BrianInNZ]

TT sucks. will never ever buy anything from them again ever. Got a G4 sitting on a shelf that i'm to scared to fly because, no parts. now fly a T700n because parts are available everywhere short of the bottle shop up the road. Especially because i'm not in the usa and when parts were available shipping was insanely expensive.

TT makes affordable fine helicopter.(No doubt, and I have two G4)
Hirobo makes finest but with unaffordable price.

[spinzer]

hirobo never gave me that wow factor, only tt helicopters did, the way it's designed is unique and the look always comes out perfectly.

Looking at this Optipower G4 on top makes me come alive !!!! i don't get this feeling with other heli's....o..... !!!! the sky is falling !!!!

[spinzer]

Have they no shame ? dropping their truest of fans with a punch right in the face , not even a word of selling off the line to a 3rd party that could save this wonderful gem from the claws of doom

i'd buy an HK G4 hands down, or why not make a partnership with Align as Align seems to be open minded, for the love of life save the G4 TT ! ! ! This is the truest of heli's with an equal perfected balance in performance and looks.

[feudallordcult]

with all the gloom, impending global recession and shift in mindset of hobbies, methinks companies are realigning their business strategies to stay afloat. just look at the glut of fpv racers vs new helis since 2013. I just bought a brand new FB e720 for usd280, hopefully I will not crash. I'm just a noob flier but that's just sumtin so special abt the e720. In fact, it's the bird that enabled me to execute tic-tocs sucessfully.

[PlaneHazza]

I was under the impression that TT are making parts for the G4, 720, and 820 for another three years?
