🚨 DA180 Development Update 🚨
To all of our loyal followers and curious customers — we know the DA180 has been on your radar for quite some time, and we want to take a moment to give you a clear update straight from our team.
✅ Yes, the DA180 is still in active development.
We’ve placed this powerful product in the hands of select test pilots for research and development purposes only — these units were not sold, but are helping us gather critical performance data in real-world conditions. These pilots have helped us immensely in refining the DA180 so that the production version will have all of these updates already applied.
🔧 Precision takes time.
We’ve been working closely with one of our key suppliers, going back and forth on multiple rounds of refinements. Every adjustment brings us closer to a version that meets our uncompromising quality standards.
⏳ So when will it be ready?
We’re just as excited as you are — but we’re not there yet. We're currently awaiting final parts from our supplier that live up to the high bar we’ve set for the DA180. Until then, we can’t commit to a release date.
💬 We truly appreciate your patience and continued support. The DA180 will be worth the wait — and we can’t wait to share more updates with you as we get closer to the finish line.
Stay tuned.
