Psywarrior and Eric, I understand your frustration and anger. I may not agree with how you react to it, but I feel for you. The release and every step that 3DR has taken since has been poorly executed.
My local hobby shop has historically had a very good relationship with 3DR, selling numerous Iris+ and X8s, parts and supplies and a community who supported 3DR through the shop. They ordered 6 Solo/Gimbal combos back in April, 4 of which were prepaid. They still haven't received a single Solo. I believe all 6 of us who pre-ordered have since purchased a Solo elsewhere, the guys who prepaid were refunded. The hobby store shares your anger. If I even mention "3DR" or "Solo" in the store, the temperature goes up, the air gets thick, and spittle starts to fly from angry mouths... But seriously, 3DR really screwed over a lot of these small shop owners who are still waiting for Solos and have lost money and sales to other outlets.
