What day for new products announcement?
January 19, 2022 08:37AM
Hello Mikado folks!

Wanting to know if an official date has been set to announce your new products?

I know rotorlive is not happening but when can we hear of what is new to Mikado and where will it be announced first?

New heli, new electronics? I am quite excited to know what is coming up or has been made for sale soon! Please let me know, thanks!

Or maybe I did already, and I did already ^^ winking smiley

Hi again,

wish I could tell.

Let's try a question: what are you looking for, for this season?
Maybe I can give a hint if it is worthwhile holding off, or not—without it being bad for business.

Cheers

The crucial question is: How much money do we have to put aside? hot smiley

Ok well what I am hope full for is as follows:

1.) Another Vtouch style radio, shape more thin and more like a Futaba radio with more switch spacing on top.

2.) A firmware update to use 760 pulse servos on cyclic like Futaba CGY760 has ability for

3.) Perhaps a smaller neo like mini Neo with full capability that will fit better in small helis.

4.) Firmware update that will speak better from tail to esc to tune out kick for users "get a much better tail performance", using already existing telemetry.

5.) A new Logo 700 where the elevator servo can be installed and maintained from outside the frame, this has been a pain for many having to dissasemble heli to access the elevator. Seems Mikado is due for a new 700 heli given the competition and lighter more robust 700s now in market to compete with.


That is off top of head, as now competing FBL systems have improved so much, as well more helis to compete with. So Eddi, am I smart in waiting or will me and many have sad faces? smiling smiley

Hi again,

OK, let‘s put it this way: VBar Control Touch will accompany us for some more time, as will the existing helis.
There is still something heli-ish pending which was already teasered in 2020 but then postponed, but this won‘t go into the 700 or competition direction.
Mini NEO is out, but not yet available individually. Pretty sure it will come as soon as components are available again aplenty.
I can not tell about software, NEO or radio, but it‘s under constant development. On the other hand, we have our philosophy about what‘s necessary and what isn‘t, and we don‘t see the need to run after each hype or change in the industry. There are other areas to explore.

No guess at what‘s coming yet grinning smiley not even close.

But if you are waiting for what‘s in this thread so far, no need to hold off.
I stick to what I said above, you will very likely be fascinated, maybe even tempted to buy, but it‘s not for the performance-driven among us, who want higher-faster-further every half year winking smiley

Lol you are so crafty in your words Eddi!! It is nothing mentioned yet something fascinating and tempted to buy! spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

Can you say how many items (new things) at least will be involved in this reveal and what is exact date of speaking to them next month?

Hi,

I’m afraid I can not really tell.

We would have had product to showcase at ROTOR Live, but (as it turns out now) probably not yet in numbers to start selling right away.
Everything that contains electronics is still difficult these days.
Now, since the event has been cancelled, we have down-shifted a bit.

I understand that everyone working in product development and marketing would now start tearing their hair out, it’s not supposed to work that way by scientific consensus, but it’s the way we do it: we present when it’s ready, when we are ready smiling smiley

And no, it’s not just another helicopter, another radio, another fuselage which I’m being so secretive about ^^

Cheers

Ok fair enough, can you at least share the date next month that (something) will be shown to public and also where will be best place to see this announcement of the product(s) ?

I would for now just like to be able to source a basic vbar for redundancy/channels on a scale bird i've been building, and maybe a nice vtouch to upgrade my vcontrol..
Camo would be nicesmiling smiley just so I can forget it it the weeds again smiling smiley

Hi,

there's no date yet. The event would have taken place on the second weekend of March, it won't, so it will be then (unlikely) or later (no date yet).
Like my four year old in the car, daddy, how long??? Me ... we're there when we're there, or, not much longer, or whatever snappy reply comes to my mind ^^

The place will be online I guess, but _if_ there are events which will take place and _if_ we will commit to attend and _if_ the product's ready by then and _if_ it can be presented in a worthy fashion, it could happen live.

Too many ifs, you see? And no need to inflict pressure on ourselves ^^

About Touch, we hope we can start manufacturing and selling again in summer, could be June, could be August, no guarantee, no one's committing to offering ETAs these days (I mean the suppliers of semiconductors in this case, which means, us, too).

VBasic's available on and off, if in doubt order separately from our online shop, select advance payment, and be informed when it's available to pay (or step back from the purchase) then. You can also order from our dealers of course, but I guess there's less chance to grab one ... on the other hand, depending on where you live, shipping costs from Germany can be unattractive. There's always a trade-off smiling smiley

Rotorlive dates have come and gone. Mikado made comments of having some things that have been worked on last few years. Anything to comment on soon for public?

Firmware updates or product updates etc? Anything? If so what date to reveal?
Re: What day for new products announcement?
March 23, 2022 10:31AM
Hi,

lookie-lookie smiling smiley
Last paragraph in the opening text.

We have a plan now, and we are working on things to reveal to the public, in the meantime.

Hi,

that's not yet decided, but I guess we concentrate on our homework with the electronics, plus 'the next big thing' which we now plan to present at Global 3D. If you (anybody!) attend, you can have a go at it ^^
