I'll see if I can find out exactly what is going on. I'm not really in the "loop" on these "getting it out to the public" details...Darin E. Jordan - Renton, WA

Not surprising at all...
Horizon's downfall will be having cool products that they can't get to market. Whoever is in charge of actually getting the new products from production to the store shelves needs to be fired.
Their planes have been HORRIBLE in making it to market. That Giant bi-plane, The Beast, was announced in October and JUST started shipping to people. All of the new micro planes had non-existent part support during the indoor season.
The funny thing is one would think that for a company located in the Midwest they would understand the importance of actually releasing a boat during the boating season. I had planned on getting a Stilleto....but considering "Late August" could easily become "Late September" at the rate Horizon is going on stuff I'm just going to wait until next spring and see if something better comes out.
There ya go Horizon.... Stilleto Sales - 1....good jobComment

Over 2 years now.Originally posted by Darin Jordan View PostNot just the RTR companies that this happens to, however... How late is the 787 now???
I think those are just a wee bit more complicated than a model boat, though.
I'm glad the F-22 is all built here. I can't wait to see how Lockheed solves the same distributed manufacturing issues on the F-35.

Bummer , I really like this boat but once again Horizon falls short, This is the exact reason i didn't pre order one. guess ill do as the other person above and wait till next spring, If i was proboat id backcharge horizon . and fire the person responsibe for the delay. Darin you done a nice job on the Boat too bad the company you work for has their head up their A$$.Comment

Yeah it looks like a bad ass little boat...but its only good if you can sell them...and with this hobby during the boating season :)Comment

I see the Miss Geico got bumped up to from late August to September too. that Traxxis titan is looking better and better, hopefully tower hobbies has a better supplier than Horizon. I,ll still get the Stiletto but now it will have to wait till next spring, I refuse to buy a boat that close to winter.Comment

Apparently they, being really Traxxas and GP, have just learned how to integrate the "Slow boat from China" delays into their whole product launch schemes...Originally posted by Darin Jordan View PostComment

Oh well , hell Darin that will give me time to design a power tilt and trim system to your already great looking boat lol. yes they all come from china, but different suppliers and factories , I have designed circuit boards for R/C lighting and had china build the proto type, send for me to test and mass produce in 3 months, it all boils down to the person who is running the show for Horizon Hobbies why its not there when expected. You done a great job on the boat im not nocking you , ive been in this hobby longer than horizon has been in business and year after year they fall short on suppling their products on time, and not just boats. Cars , Aircraft and everything else the advertise new.Originally posted by Darin Jordan View PostComment

Your correct we will just have to wait and see ,tower still says late July, so if theirs comes in on the expected date of July. that will prove someone at horizon is slipping in their Job. still dont change anything with me im still going to buy your boat whenever it gets here on the mayflower. LOL.Originally posted by Darin Jordan View PostReally? We'll see...
