Brodak ARF/ARC planes...

Does anyone have an update as to when this month they are supposed to come out?

This is all I know of the release date, and I was hoping someone else may know more.

Hi Steve,

Mr. Brodak,

I would like to know if it’s possible, yet, to pre-order one of the ARC or ARF models. In particular, one of the ARF Cardinals. Is there some sort of deposit that needs to be sent, or will simply be “luck of the draw” as to whether or not I can get one?

Thanks in advance and tight lines.

Steve Berry

Steve, have to concur. i checked in at Brodaks and was also told that it would be in July. Hope that it isn't too long or the summer flying season will be over. Dennis

I have a dozen or so of the Cardinals on order and was told, also, "hopefully" in July. Remember, these come over by boat. You have all heard about a slow boat (from) China, haven't you?

Does this mean I could pre-order one from you? Or wuold I be better off just ordering straight from Brodak?

It doesn't make much difference to me, as I'm sure of the quality of the plane and such. I just need to get something that'll quickly get me back to flying a respectable pattern again.

Gents - rest assured that everything possible has been done to get these aircraft stateside. Those of you who have ordered them will be rewarded with something that is well worth the wait.
See my comments in the Product Reviews section.

Quick answer: You can pre-order from me or Brodak or anyone else that handles their line and has them on order. I don't know how many will be coming in on the first batch and I would assume that it is fill orders as they were made. I would hope I would get mine before the late comers who preorder from Brodak.

I just heard from John Brodak that the ARF/C's shipped from China on July 14th and he expects to see them in about 5 weeks. So sounds like 3rd week of August or so.

Well if anyone needs an ARF fix, the Noblers are on sale at Tower for $90 with a $15 merchandise coupon.

I remember the wait last year for the Nobler to come out. I feel your pain!

The reason for the delay is because Brodak must be using the same boats that Tower Hobbies have been using.
