Jim - what's delivery looking like for preorders?
I just received an email from him today on this. Here is a copy.
The production PCB panels are scheduled to be completed today, and we then transition into a 20-day SMD fabrication lead time. This is a new manufacturer and to drive down cost we have to stretch lead time. We should be shipping first units to all pre-purchasers starting in the latter half of May. We will reach out to you and everyone else who pre-paid to configure everything to your desired system configuration.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
Seems by that schedule it should be the later half of June as May is almost over 😘

Questions
1) Bluetooth, will it work in Carbon Fiber tubes and couplers when using Aluminum AV bay Caps and Aluminum cap on the aft end of fiberglass nosecone coupler?
2) GPS-Flush or Edge mount? Is the Edge mount affected in any way by an Aluminum tip Nosecone? Is the Flush mount better when nose cone is hanging down under parachute or laying on it's side on the ground?
3) Why not build all units with the RPSMA connector and sell a wire whip with connector attached, giving the user the ability to configure as needed or as room permits?
4)Jim A. weill you be at Airfest ? will you be available to Flash the RRC3 units there for use with bluetooth or wired hookup to the RTX ?
We're flying what we hope is our final production version of the RTx System this weekend. Ben and Elaine Russell are attending the URRF Launch in Potter and are putting production PCB's/Hardware/Firmware and mDACS software through the last rounds of sanity checks.
Thank You Jim for taking the time to Answer My Questions.
Is there a huge Improvement on the Up part of flight with the Edge Mount GPS over the Flush Mount.
Thanks again
Jim,
What antenna can you use with the SMA connector?
