I saw that. I also noticed it said next shipment in late March. Did they already have a first shipment to dealers and pre-orders? Bunch of crickets out and about if someone has received one. You would think someone would post a simple got one or unboxing or quick review if they did. Right?

Well damn it HH! Yes, just checked my order status. Late March is now the ship date. 2nd change in one week. The 130S is for my wife. Should have shipped on Valentine's Day. HH, do you feel no guilt?

Must be having manufacturing issues or something along those lines. Think Blade has their testing completed and the item in production before they announce them since their stuff usually comes out very shortly after being announced compared to other brands. Align is pretty quick in that regard as well but everyone else seems to have a delay or 10.
Idk as it's been a while but I don't remember Blade delaying any releases. Then again I haven't paid close attention but on the last couple it seemed like they would spit em out half tested and fix the issues with updates. The CPS was riddled with issues upon release so maybe they're trying to avoid that. If so good on them, but I imagine they're being held up waiting for materials from an outside source or other manufacturing issue.

Yeah, not really a big deal. I am not a critic of HH in general. Their products have been my gateway devices to the hobby. Inductrix for quads. Inductrix FPV for for FPV an Nano CPS's for helicopters. They're not the most badass performers or construction but, take it out of the box, bind it and you're flying. I like their stuff.
But buying my first Trex, a 450L from a friend and really getting hands on with it has been a good experience. The precision aluminum hardware really is impressive. I'll buy and build a larger helicopter in the future. I really like the Logo 550 SX the same friend owns. That may be in my future.

When I saw HH listed february as the release date. I immediately thought wow that will be nice I'll get it with my tax refund in April when it really ships. HH is always off by about 2 to 3 months from the first quoted date. They make very reliable products. All of my HH copters have preformed just as promised. 3 scout cx, 3 nano qx, mcx2, inductrix fpv, 2 msr, 2 mcpx, mcpx bl, 120 old, 200srx, nano cp s, 230 s, and a 230 s night. wow that's the first time i put together the list of HH helis i have had. some were bought for me and the kids so 3 at a time. the msr would TBE after awhile just put on a new flybar all was back to new. mcpx push the main gear back up after a crash. I have seen many others show a heli year after year with the any day now. yes i'm calling you out OXY 2. I've wanted one for a long time now and it looks like i'll still be wanting one for a lot longer. i think i'll just get the 180 cfx.
“The enemy of a good plan is the dream of a perfect plan.” ― Carl von Clausewitz My wife is late a lot I love her I just never trust her timelines. she gives me a wheels up time of 12 I know its 3. with HH you get a good product that fulfills most of the claims 90% for most people 90%. The 120 at 6600' out my front door in colorado springs was to say the least anemic and a hand full in any wind. HH is never going to hit a dead line but I think they try. I also think you get a good plan not a perfect plan most of the time. -Neil |

Picked up my 130s BNF Basic today at my LHS. Unfortunately, no batteries in stock, so had to order them. It'll be another week before I can fly it.

It went from there and we've built shelves in our spare bedroom for the fleet. She really does like to fly and we do it several times a week. Small things in our yard and 230Ss and bigger at a park and every Wed. at another field with friends. We just recently got Inductrix FPV quads and Fat Shark goggles and are having a blast flying them at home. Yeah, I always feel lucky!

FedEx tracking says there will be a happy person in our house later today. And, we bought 3 batteries with the original order. They're storage charged and waiting for a full charge and a heli ride, probably tomorrow morning. I think we're supposed to have good weather.
