socra823 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Right now I'm looking into the Orion F18 HOTAS from Winwing to replace my TM T16000m stick + TWCS throttle. The Orion looks really great and has all the controls I'd need, plus that preorder price on their website is extremely enticing. I just don't want to be left without a HOTAS for too long and I have until July 22nd to return the TM package to Amazon. Does anybody (or Winwing themselves) have an estimate on when the unit would be shipped out & delivered after preordering? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother_Leb Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I created a thread back in the Spring to track my preorder timeline: A bunch of folks have been posting theirs in there as well. This has some pretty current examples to give you an idea, but @MustangSally's estimate is about right. That said, it seems WW is updating the Orion 2 Throttle and are holding all orders until that's complete. If past experience is an indicator of future performance, if you preorder now, you'll get automatically upgraded, free of charge (I ordered Orion 1 before Orion 2 was released, because this filled my order after it was released, I got upgraded to Orion 2 for free!). 32GB (4x8) DDR4 2400 | Intel Core i-7 8700 4.6 GHz | MSI ATX Pro Z-370-A | GeForce 2070RTX Super Founder's Edition WinWing Orion 2 Hotas w/ Hornet Throttle and Stick grips | HP Reverb G2 | BenQ 21" 60Hz | TrackIR 5 + TrackClip Pro Hornet driver, Blue Angel enthusiast, Tomcat stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
