Vintage Black Mamba ETA?

Postby Cyph3r » Tue Feb 09, 2016 16:39

Is there an ETA on the Vintage Black Mambas? Also does the shipping have tracking when they are sent out??

Daisy tells me it would be after Lunar new year when factories restart production, so march seems pretty legit

I know this is the stratojet area, but since it's in english, does anyone know if there is an ETA on EU shipments? (Vintage or not).

I'm in no hurry, but travel a lot, and would just like to plan ahead to see if I can collect the package myself or if I need to make some kind of arrangement.

Hi Jason, yes I ordered from FSC as I'm in the UK.

Do you have a proper idea when the VBM are shipping out yet?

All parts for Mamba is ready. Gimbal, packages, all structure is ready, except grips. We are eagerly waiting for grips from factory. But factory can't produce grip only, grips need to be produced together with Gladiator joysticks. Production for joysticks need at least four weeks. We've done what we can to make it faster. But since it's new joystick, there are many things need to double check. We didn't know it took so long time for final confirmation. And we promise to make shipment asap once grips arrives.

Hi UIV,

So it's probably going to be early April before they ship out?

Also does this mean that the Gladiator joystick will be available in April as well?

Thanks!

Is the ETA similar for the Black Mamba III with Warthog adapters?

Factory didn't give me production plan. Because we didn't finish some confirmation. Of course, when we get date of production, we will make announcement. We have no reason for delay, we want to make this joystick asap. Gladiator joystick will be available at the same time, because they are produced in one batch.

No, Mamba with Warthog adapter and extender will be earlier. In next week, we start to send Mamba joystick with extender. After this, we send with adapters.

Hi, UIV, thanks for update
Is there any news about the throttle adapt with Gladiator?
And the modern style full metal grip?

How long does shipping within Europe take once the sticks have been dispatched?

Also do people who ordered from FSC get tracked shipping?
