New FrSky X20 Pro

[yufasa]

I see FrSky announced the X20 Pro, will Aloft be taking pre-orders for them?

 

[Wayne]

Yep, was reading up on it over the weekend. Ordered a bunch today.

In case you are wondering - A little under $1000, case is billet aluminum and fit and finish are said to be near perfect. Supports all of the current FrSky Protocols including Tandem, Twin, ACCST, ACCESS and R9. Real carbon fiber, lots of alloy. Sounds like the first 100 will include:
- Tandem X20 PRO Transmitter with Unique Serial Number Badge
- TD R18 Dual-Band Receiver
- NFC Remote Switch
- Audio Jack Pin Type Switch
- Tool Set
- Aluminum Carrying Case
- and an Extra Gift

Some pictures:

They have been showing them at some events around the globe and feedback has been wonderful. People really like the fit and finish and how it feels in their hands. FrSky has been working hard on this one to get it really dialed in with the new processes. Currently they are able to produce just 2 radios a day.

Don't ask me when, but sometime soon.

Thank Wayne, looking forward to it!

When are you putting them up for pre-order?

 

[Wayne]

Update - If you would like one, please send us an email as they are only sending 40 to the USA. 100 total for the world. I suspect there will be more later on, but not sure. These will be very rare initially. So if you are serious, please email us at contact@alofthobbies.com and let us know. We will put you on the list in the order the emails arrive. Think we already have 2 folks showing interest. We are only able to get 5 radios.

Looks like they start shipping some at the end of July...
I also see mention of a new "black case" as an option, at least HorusRC preorder people are mentioning it and it looks nice!

 

[Wayne]

Yes, we are told we will be getting our radios soon(ish) and yes, there is mention that we may be able to buy the metal travel cases.

 

[yufasa]

Wayne, I read that some lucky guys are getting tracking numbers for the X20 pro.
Any update on your batch? I got my name up on that list

 

[Wayne]

Have not heard a peep from FrSky yet. But typically what FrSky is they will slow ship them into the US before we get word of them.

 

[yufasa]

Ah, that is unfortunate ...

 

[Wayne]

Should be soon, but hard to say as I think they said they are only making one radio a day..? Lots of hours into each.
