Do you still have any of these? I am very interested in purchasing one.

Sure... PM sent.

I am currently out of the stands and won't be reordering until fall.

I have 2 for sale in my stock... PM in interested.

Doug,

I will be ordering again next week. Do you normally keep them in stock as well?

Dennis

Doug Darby · 07-05-2007, 10:09 AM

No.. I just needed one and thought that I might as well purchase the 3 and get the 10% discount as I was going to have to pay all the freight, duty, etc.. So I bought three... Love the one I am using and I will sooner or later sell the other two. I keep forgetting to take them to the field with me, but I thought if someone wants one and will pay the freight, I will be happy to sell it to them..

I am only in the business of having fun.

Scott at RC-Tek had a few left when I ordered last week as well. Great customer service and a speedy shipment. Thanks Scott, the stand is awesome!

I have one left and I am in the Dallas area with frequent travel to Ft. Lauderdale if any one is interested...

Does anybody still have any of these for sale? After wrestling with my Diablo when replacing the main shaft, it would come it really handy, especially in the field.

Scott at RC-Tek happened to have one that he sold me (he didn't think he had any at first). I must say that it is an amazing piece of engineering!

Finless · 09-19-2007, 11:51 PM

I am curious why people stopped selling these?

Can Scott or Dennis explain why these are not being sold anymore?

I had about 5 people come up to me at Buzzin the Border funfly asking where they could get one!

If this item is not being sold anymore then I am going to freakin CLOSE this thread and tell people it is not available anymore.

Kinda PO's me that I do a review for something and all the people that asked aren't providing customers something cool like this. WHATS UP!

Scott said that it had to do with the currently unfavorable exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Euro. The German company that makes them only takes payment in Euros, so they would be prohibitively expensive to resell. The manufacturer's web site is still active, so I would assume that they could be purchased directly if someone wanted to pay the premium.

Finless · 09-20-2007, 12:13 AM

Hmmmm so I think I will close this thread then.... I think there is enough info so if people want to buy it from Germany they can. It appears NO US suppliers want to do this. I feel sorry for the company that makes these.

Anyway no sense in leaving this thread open now. I certainly don't need the grief.

I am kind of sorry I ever did this review. Had I known the product would not be supported I certainly would not have. It's a good product don't get me wrong.... But if people cant get it... Whats the sense.

I will reopen this if things change.

Bob
