I've been wondering the same thing. The only indication that I saw was on the Spektrum site. They are saying mid-March.

I just order the hitec x1 and this comes out.. bummer.. I'm happy with the X1 so I guess I can't complain.

Seems like an odd site for an Orion charger to show up? Weird.

A lot of money for only 200w.
If you have 4s 5000 it wont do more than around 2.5A each channel.

More like 6 amps on each channel on 4S lipos. 100W/16.8V ٛ≈ 5.95A.

Agree it's not inexpensive, but not many dual AC powered alternatives out there if that is what one wants.

I assumed that since Orion is distributed by Horizon in the US and Spektrum is also under the Horizon banner, that is why it shows up there. Agreed it is weird but I thought might be reliable considering it is a Horizon company.

Your right. Dont know why I was thinking 50w ea.

Yeah, probably a website slipup, just guessing but perhaps the same web group does both. Agree it's probably good info, thanks for sharing.
