While I haven't read every line of text in the posts covering the subject of 'Yuneec's future in the US', I'm picking there are probably many of you experiencing similar concerns to mine. In broad terms, I am sorry to say that for me Yuneec have lost a lot of their credibility and honesty.
When I first purchased my H520 - direct from China, the business whom I have dealt with for quite a while, buying DJI aircraft and equipment from them as well as Yuneec products seemed able to lay their hands on anything I asked for from Yuneec; often being able to ship it to me in New Zealand within 4 - 5 days. Back in June or July I decided I would add a Yuneec E50 and CGOET gimbal camera to my H520 payload capacity, to meet my planned business activity. Since I had estimated the CGOET would require the most training to learn to use comprehensively I ordered that unit first. Delivery time I was advised would be in August. Fine, no problem with that! August came and went - delivery pushed out to the end of September. At the end of September my supplier informed me Yuneec were then talking about a revised delivery date of late November. Alarm bells rang in my head though when it was suggested to me I could "pre-pay" to get the product a bit sooner. (I had done that once before, with a US company, when it took me close to a year to get the refund of all the money paid, including shipping costs, after they couldn't/wouldn't deliver the product I put down money in advance, in good faith, on the understanding delivery would be expedited with a prepayment.)
Anyway, throughout November I spent a lot of time trolling through Yuneec's US, UK and EU websites, plus private retailers. Information on YT videos promoting the CGOET was by now getting to be old, and not once did I see a CGOET being offered as "in stock" in the searches I made. After pushing my Chinese supplier, it was suggested by them that Yuneec, and other drone manufacturers, were perhaps "struggling" because of the downturn in US sales related to the trade dispute that has now been dragging on for more than a year. My answer to the supplier's rationale for Yuneec's apparent problems, "nuts". UK and EU combined have a significantly larger population base than the US. There are also many, many other countries Yuneec could get themselves out there and doing business with.
As stated to my supplier, I cannot have a business relationship with a company that lacks both credibility and honesty which is essentially stymying my business activity. After a lot of thought I have therefore decided to sell my H520 (sadly), and will revert to DJI as my sole UAVs. There could be a number of drawbacks I see in having only one aircraft type, but equally there are way too many drawbacks behind offering a range of UAV services which cannot be delivered on for close to six months, while a UAV manufacturer cannot supplier a particular payload type, which they have consistently made claim they can, through their website promotions.
A quality product needs to be supported by a quality service from a company that is capable of standing by its projected ethos of credibility and honesty!
