I'm not even gonna beg anymore. People are showing interest again, and you guys have yet to even give us info or an update. There's money out there waiting for you, you just need to get it. Like i've said from the beginning, i'll still buy one if i becomes available. And btw, the new 4pl-s is going to be released soon, so even more people will own these radios = more profit for you guys.

Posting to show interest or saying that if we make lots, we will sell lots, will not get this pilot off the ground. What we need are real 4PL owners that truly wants a drop down.

This thread is over 5100, and the 40+ people that posted saying they want or have interest in a drop down were all pm'ed. As of today less than 10 people are on a committed pilot project list.

So to answer your question, only less than 10 people are really interested according to our final list.

It is a pilot and unless it becomes an regular produced product it would be viewed as spamming.

This thread is quite large at this point, but the few that have committed does show no interest from the rest of the 4PL owners that have been following this thread.

If anything, this was the best place to showcase it first, and the numbers don't lie.

I did post it on oOple and got zero replies. That said, most serious racers in the UK use sticks not wheels.

If the 40+ people that posted their interest here on this thread had confirmed, the 4PL drop down would have be made a long time ago. At this point, we can not justify the R&D and manufacturing costs for 10 drop downs.

So moving on the a PKS may be in your interest right now Brady.

Glocker, if you have been following this thread, the project is a pilot which means prepaid. If the pilot is successful, then we will produce the product and keep inventory stock.

We had over 40+ posted here that they wanted a drop down just like you, but when asked to confirm, most never did.

Please send me a pm if you are serious.

Thanks

Since the interest is so low for us to do, would it not be better for you to ask Futaba to do it?

They have a large dealer base worldwide which would enable them to mass market the thousands.

Why don't you ask your local machine shop to make one for you? You will have it in a few days instead of waiting on everyone to get the pilot off the ground.

Since your post was started in Jan 2013, the thread is sitting at just under 6,000, with only 10 confirmed. At this rate, we may get enough people by next year.

Yes, we are a small company, and too costly to make only ten drop downs.
