Any Chase 360 UK delivery dates yet?

[PeteStewardson]

Noticed a few pics from the US from retailers getting stock, and youtube videos are cropping up more now. Anyone heard anything on a UK delivery date?

Confusingly I've also seen Glenn talking about designing the manual, so that would suggest there wont be one in the box and we'll need to download it. Much prefer the idea of this if it means I can have it on my iPad during the build.

Itching to get building.

Oh and in-case it's not been seen by people yet, there's a load of build animations on youtube now as well

Just heard back that there is a delay from kds getting the scorpion motors so this Friday is out I guess

[PeteStewardson]

Well the first date was the 14th, then the 30th, but if the motors are an issue I guess the combos wont be available

I wondered if there was an issue as I've yet to see photos of one with scorpion motors, all the ones I've seen have had Savox motors in.

Glen just replied to me to say the manual might be ready to download tomorrow evening. So I guess that's Thursday for us

It is certainly an interesting looking helicopter…. slightly off topic… Is this similar size to the Agile 3.6 then? Exactly the same? I am slightly confused how they both fit into the KDS range respectively.

Is it a similar situation to the 450 Pro and Sport? Would one be considered an upgrade over the other?

Or will they end up doing Chase 560 and Chase 720 and have another range running parallel with the Agile range?

[PeteStewardson]

Similar sized helis with what looks like compatible parts from pictures. The Agile 3.6 is KDS's 360mm 450 heli in the Agile range. The Chase 360 is designed by Glen Kimpton in Australia. Basically he's designed the heli over the last 2 years and then has got KDS to manufacturer it for him, although they've had a lot of input to some things by the sound of it. I think it's named after his son as I think he's called Chase.

The Chase 360 is being tested with bigger blades, he's always intended to make the helis stretchable and I think up to 420mm is potentially planned but 385mm blades are going to be tested without a stretch.

I think he has plans for a range of helis though longer term which would be cool. Whether this happens may depend on if KDS are willing to run two completely different ranges I guess.

The Agile range is that Belgian chaps baby,his name eludes me,KDS just got tasked to manufacture it i read.

[PeteStewardson]

Sounds like the Chase then, KDS just a manufacturer for both. Interesting as they seemed to be clones before the Agiles.

Looks like they're arriving in New Zealand.

So who's preordered a chase 360 - Page 5 - HeliFreak

Ive just heard that they are aiming to ship around the 10th of September before if they can

[PeteStewardson]

Ship from China? So add another week or so then before they're in stock in the uk.
