Phannybawz 14 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I got this in an email from Honeycomb over the weekend. I'd be pretty concerned about placing an order for one of these units now. SIX to SEVEN months for component lead times would suggest that there will be no chance of seeing anything prior to the turn of 2022. Inventory Update Hello everyone, We wanted to give you all an update on what’s going on with the production of the Alpha Flight Controls and the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. First of all, we want to apologize to the many of you who still haven’t been able to purchase our products due to lack of inventory. We are producing at max capacity but are facing several problems which are impacting availability: -The whole electronics industry is facing severe component shortages and we are especially hard hit as some of our components now have a lead time of 6 – 7 months. We originally had a backup inventory of those long lead time components but that has been depleted as well which means that our production schedule is dependent on when we get replenishments from our suppliers. -There is an extreme shortage of container availability from Asia as well which means that we sometimes have to wait several weeks for availability to ship products to our resellers. We have allocated some of our inventory to ship directly to customers from Hong Kong and only charge 30% of the actual FedEx cost to our customers, but they are sold out almost as quickly as we make them available in our shop. With that being said, shipments are on their way to our resellers, and we will have more units available to purchase very soon. We are truly thankful for your continued support and hope you continue to fly with us. Thank you, Nicki(Founder) Honeycomb Aeronautical PS. We will post an update on tech support issues and solutions in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phannybawz 14 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Seems Scan are taking pre-orders again for UK customers. Projected delivery date of 28th March. I've dropped an order in with them for now. If it slips hugely, I can always cancel I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Wark 1 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Just had a dispatch notification from Amazon for my Bravo. Ordered mid July 2020. Due tomorrow. Bitter sweet really as I have just spent today pulling my office to pieces as I am moving house this week so it will be ages before I’m up and running again. Damn you Amazon. So glad this saga is over at least for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phannybawz 14 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Further update for those of us in the UK who have been badly let down with supplies. Yeah Amazon... I'm looking at YOU!. Scan have stopped taking Pre-orders again it seems. I'm hopeful that the latest batch of pre-orders will be fulfilled based upon the expected items coming into stock.

Guys, please note that the message from honeycomb does NOT mean that we will not get a delivery for 6-7 months. This is not the case at all. Unfortunately the ship with the container is delayed. There is nothng we can do, but we would like to keep all customers up to date who are affected by the delay. vor 10 Stunden , CASW1000 sagte: just got an email from scan saying my order is delayed another month.

CASW1000 8 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Well, I still have my order with Amazon that was placed in Aug 2020, so when I heard Scan was doing Pre-Orders, I thought, I will order another one from them as they have had better luck in the past. Amazon for this particular order, has been nothing short of rubbish. But, as a precaution, I wont cancel the order until I have something in my hands. Thanks Marius for your comment. I am at least grateful that we have a place to talk about this. Just have to stay patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
