Here´s the latest on shipping...all the EPM do-it-yourself kits have been shipped. Tomorrow the last of the EPM fully assembled version with the 12mm bracket will be shipped. That leaves us with the EPM fully assembled with the customized bracket for the R-10 quadrocopter...here´s the rub, as the bard would say...we still don´t have the R-10 brackets!!!. They are being 3D printed at SHAPEWAYS and we had a number of problems getting the CAD right for their program...however Andreas assures me that the glitches have been resolved and the brackets should be shipped within a week. At the moment our production capacity is 5 units a day and that is with no screw ups. We need around 90 more units so we are looking at roughly 4 weeks production to finish which puts us close to the middle of August...lets add a fudge factor and say by the end of August....add 20 days for the units to arrive and everyone from KICKSTARTER should have their rewards by the 20th of September...only 9 months late!!!!! Sorry folks...as the Nicas say "nos metimos en la camisa de once varas"-google translator says " we got in over our heads"!!!-Jeff-admin.

Jeff, can you confirm what my order is?  I think I paid for the DIY, but afterwards stated that I'd like to upgrade to full assembled.  I haven't heard back, and haven't received anything.

Thanks,
Rob
