Yes all English. I made a point of requesting English manual in the comments section but
I doubt it would have made a difference, no harm in doing so.

I tend to agree with this sentiment. TH has really been poor at communicating with USA customers on this radio avbl date. You would think they want to make 2x profit and sell direct versus letting other retailers get the sale. After 8 weeks on pre-order all I get is "mid-(inset)month" or "late-(inset)month". If it doesn't come in this week which would be late-sept, I'm ordering oversees.

I think it needs to be in bold and underlined for it to be ligit:lol:

It would be pretty disrespectful to customers who have pre-ordered or delayed buying overseas if they don't honor Thursdays commitment..

As for Amian, they will not have any to sell on Thursday. I called today just to see what they said and customer service claimed to only be getting a small portion of what they have on order from GP. Not enough to fill all existing back orders let alone extras. I agree it's false advertising since you could go on and order thinking it would ship late this week. I also don't know how Amain is getting ANY on Thursday when their distributor, GP/Hobbico/TH, doesn't even have them and are 'hoping' to get the 1st USA shipment from Futaba on Thursday or Friday. I emphasis hope...

This product will be in stock on Thursday, September 25 2014

By the wording, it means this will happen 100%. Now they can weave around false advertising by having some stock of the asian ones, and then selling it to their close friends/employee etc... As long as they have one, they are safe:sneaky:

Whatever it is, Futaba/GP need to get their act together.

I agree on all accounts. It will be in-stock does not mean you can get one. It just will go from 'pre-order' to 'back-order'. Still not sure how they are getting any before Tower though, since GP owns Tower.
