Of course we must realize they are in the business to make money, selling new SV’s, kinda like auto manufactures building in obsolescence. GM Chrysler and Ford don’t cater to car enthusiast but AutoZone NAPA and OReilly’s do.
Sure, but they NEVER had parts available.
And oh by the way, I can buy OEM parts at NAPA and O’Reilly’s 
OEM specs but won’t have FORD or GM labeling.
This goes back to a point I made previously. If they were to use “commonly available” parts they could alleviate some of their supply issues.

Yes, got the email yesterday. Wouldn’t do much good if I had them. For the past month it’s rained quite a bit with wind gust even on the few clear days that prohibit any flying. 
Psst. it’s small. Fly it inside! Chase the cat!
Wanting to distance test with DIY and store bought antenna. Inside I use the M550 TW.

sigh…i was so unhappy with my M550, but it was probably just issues with mine. it would randomly yaw sometimes even when you were pushing the opposite direction. I don’t know what was wrong with it. I say “was” because I got so tired of playing with it that I just let my 5 year old play with it, and first time I turned my back he had flown it over our fence and who knows where. I find it two weeks later in the neighbor’s yard across 2 streets run over by a lawn mower lol.
I liked my M200 though. It didn’t have the altHold, but still was fun. Maybe I’ll get the “dart”
The TW frame really protects the blades. I think you saw my mod of the M550 FC into the TW frame and 6/15 motors. So much better than stock. But it’s no longer worth the time. There are so many good micros now. Check out the RCSaylors review. $20, AutoHover, super common and removable battery.
Wow that thing has amazing performance compared to other brushed micros
I’ve tried! I’ll look into that. I need a new micro, but was waiting to see
if the Dart would be any good.
Thanks
I don’t subscribe but keep an eye on their drone reviews. They appear to be unbiased and never hold back from the negatives in their evaluations. A while back I’d asked them why no SV reviews, pointing out the 2450 GPS and got a ‘Yeah, we should probably do that’. Kinda feel like if t isn’t sent to them for free by a sponsor then no review.
Not that they should try an eval of every drone out there but a common drone anyone can pickup at Walmart or Target might warrant a consideration. The Air Hogs TW hasn’t been out very long and they jumped on that pretty quick.
Finally here!
Yep, same day here! - Thanks for letting us know when they were in stock.
I got em installed last night, did a full Calibration and a night flight. I had forgotten just how nimble the SV is when the motors are new! lol You can whip it all over the place.
My 3DR Solo might be my “cool” drone, but my SV is my fun one.I was slightly giddy last night after not getting to fly it for 3 weeks.
Back in stock at Sky Viper if anyone is interested. Limit one set and yes, I grabbed one.
I’ve been running these with no problems so far. They come in different wire colors, I happened to get Black and White.
NO LIMIT

19 to 39 days? Mine came in 12 with no soldering needed.
It was a good time for me to shorten those stock leads. After going through OEM motors thought I’d try a different supplier, maybe Southern China instead of Northern China. Good luck with yours though.
Of course you’ll need soldering skills if you burn out all your CW or CCW motors first.
But hey . . . I’m happy and you’re happy and that is all that matters.
Wow, that was quick. Four days and they arrived.
