Any idea when 130X canopies will be in stock in UK?

[BavarianRob]

As title, none anywhere in uk at the moment. Any ideas when they'll be available?

Hi Steve, thanks but they are pre order

[steve g]

think it might be worth waiting for KINGS LYNN model shop to get some in as they have 3 coulors to choose from ie: red/yellow, white/blue & and the standerd one, think the red and yellow one looks mint

[steve g]

These haven't been shipped to the UK yet, I believe that the U.S had limited stock but it should only be a matter of a couple of weeks. We are accepting pre orders, but expect when they hit here they will go out of stock very quickly. I will ask again when we can expect these, if I find out ill let you know.

No doubt they look pretty darn sweet!!!!

Yes, I need one of these and a bunch of TT gears. None in stock in the UK.
"A couple of weeks" is too long, they should be in stock now, if any 3rd party company comes up with a 130x canopy in bright yellow/red colours Horizon won't be getting my money.

I am yet to figure out why Horizon Hobbies didnt ship these and the screw sets over with the initial spares stock they brought here? Must come down to a supply chain issue again, as we are all too aware of with MCPX spares!!!

Maybe they just don't give a f..k about UK customer, at least that's my only explanation. I'd not give them a dime, but unfortunately there is nothing else in this class of heli worth buying.
Mcpx spares situation is appalling.

I certainly dont think that is true, there customer service is great! Any problems we have had have been dealt with quickly, efficiently and effectively.

Also look at the fact that they are the ones pushing the limits developing new models and bringing large amounts of products to market. The 130X for example such a small package that is SOOO capable!

I get your point, but at the same time, at prices they are asking I'd expect zero issues with spares supply and their supply chain as well - if they can pack canopies and drop them on the boat to the US, they can do the same with UK boat, can't they? If we end up with the same spares situation as with mcpx because they can't cope with demand or decided to switch their manufacturing to another new great thing, I won't be buying anything else from them.

I'll say it again, I get spares fro my TDR much easier than for mcpx and it's made by one man in a boutique shop in Germany. Mine (mcxp) is grounded because I can't find main shaft anywhere.

Yeah I see your point! We have seen two messages from Horizon Hobbies apologising for supply chain issues, not many companies can hold their hands up. Hopefully the issues are starting to fade now and they will learn from what has happened.

PM'd about your mainshaft.
