Letter from Multipurpose-UFC Team

While the world facing one of its greatest challenges, we would like to thanks all the people that are continuing their work and fighting this global pandemic.
Even in this circumstance we have done our "small part" continuing developing and optimizing our product.
We've done some great steps ahead, while on the other side we're also affected by some delay in shipment of materials.
Actually we're fully committed on our side to respect the delivery time window, for example we've bought the second 3D printer to increase our internal production capability, but on the other side we've to wait some of our supplier that is not EU based like us.

Anyway we would like to share with you all the progress since we're getting close to delivery date!

Second 3D Printer

As mentioned before we've added a second 3D printer in our production lane to speed up all the parts production that are homemade. Thanks to the second printer we're also able to make some small improvement to our design, since we was able to make some prototype entrenchment without stopping the production.

Laser engraved buttons

We're proud and happy to announce that we've completed engraving test on buttons cap with our laser tool, and we're satisfied of the result. We've decided to "switch" our Prototype V0.2 from printed labels to laser engraved cap, the results are impressive!

Facebook Page

We're really busy! As you can see from previous steps we've done lot of work in the backstage to guarantee Prototype V0.2 shipping by July.
But we've also identify a little bit of "lack" in communication with all of you that are our great supported, so we've opened a Facebook Page where you can expect more often updates since it will be easier for us post quick update as soon as we have ;)

All major DCS modules are now there!

The complete set of DCS Module that we aim to support for the first batch are there. We would like to remember that we've already identified a way to perform remote upgrade of our device, so you'll be able to add more module to your Multipurpose UFC later on, only buying front cover when will be available. The complete list is: F/A-18C, F-16C, A-10C, F-14B and AV-8B.
