The thing is, they make these announcements then they might appear some months later.

Most companies are doing that these days; flood the band waves with announcements, then a few months later, flood the market.

The majority of these so-called "businesses" live off pre-orders; announce a particular model, collect orders, and in some cases money, then manufacture it when the numbers satisfy their MOQ. No risk, no adventure; it's just about the almighty Dollar, and not about the history of aviation, joy, or satisfaction of the hobby.

(p.s. this rant was not necessarily directed at DragonWings; see my signature line.)

Because why would someone pay for a sub-par model that's already been released for the same price as something that is a higher quality?
