Anyone else deal with Heliguy and have any idea when they place 'their' order?

 

[Pablo]

Did you see Maplin had stock in yesterday on their website? Went in a flash though!

I read there was some but if I cancel Heliguy I cancel DJI.... Not investing in this bunch of crooks anymore.... My loyalty lies with Heliguy, even though based on deliveries it was the wrong decision if you wanted to fly this year it seems.

Yup, same here despite ordering within hours of the release (not with Heliguy btw). Unless shipment numbers start rising substantially, my only hope for 2016 now is that my order with Advexure in the US comes through but that's cost me ~£250 more as I've paid for expedited shipping at >$200 plus VAT, etc. when it lands here. Heart rules head all the way.

Well - you might get one which hasn't had its transmission curtailed for Europe then!

I've missed three amazing opportunities for footage with the Mavic, Dubai with UAE 'elite sport', Italy with an amazing 'SUB2' marathon project with colleagues and now a international 'Gatorade' Advert with the worlds best footballers..... All amazing show reels that would of helped a new business venture. So when the people say be "patient", it falls on deaf ears....

It doesn't matter, the range restrictions come from the GPS location. All the RC's are the same.

My current Graupner radio setup has a supposed range of 4km but I've never flown beyond LOS even with goggles on, I'd be crapping myself if I did lose sight.

LOL don't blame you, I see so many video with people flying off then complaining about fly aways or crashes....

I'm close to but outside of the 5 miles nfz around Shoreham airport but I did fly at Devil's Dyke a while back which I learned afterwards is within the nfz, easily done..

a reliable RTH is essential..

so far i have only used fixed wing craft.. but if the RTH works on loss of control signal or the flick of a button the craft comes home.. not always from the direction you are expecting.. he he

so far my arkbird RTH has always worked.. maybe one day it wont..

So.... Hypothetically speaking of course, if I were to buy a Mavic from a UK owner, still sealed, will DJI still warranty it?

 

[Wacker2611]

As far as I understand it, yes. The warranty starts when the Mavic is registered (this happens when you first connect it up to Go) so assuming that it's genuinely sealed and untouched it should be fine.
Don't quote me though, I'm no expert!

Thanks Wacker.. I did chat with DJI but they told me to contact DJI support in Germany, who aren't open today.

Just weighing up options really.
