We decided to split the last blog post into two. This will go over the current timeline so you know where we are at in terms of manufacturing, production, testing and shipping.
So to answer your question:“When and where can I get a RE1?”, the answer is soon! As you can imagine, while the flight controller is tiny, quite a lot of engineering resources go into creating it. The timeline looked approximately as follows:
Feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts and perhaps suggestions for future blog post topics. And make sure to sign up to our mailing list to be notified when pre-orders start.

Its June! can’t wait for the pre-orders 😀
Above you asked the question “when and where can I get an RE-1” and went on to answer ‘when’ but what about the ‘where’ part? Order direct from your site? From other sites? Other retailers?
The preorders are expected to Ship in July according to the chart above. Living in the UK when can I expect to receive my preorder? I have spoken to DroneWorx and they had no further information. I would love to use it for a race around 20 August and am keen to know if it will arrive in time.
August is here and I’m really looking forward to flying with a new powerful Brain !
I just found this looking for an upgrade from my CC3d, so I missed the prepurchase window. I was looking on the web site and did not see a purchase button for the August batch of controllers. Does this mean that they’re all already accounted for?
Also, does this support and external compass?
Thanks.
