Could the OP update the first post in this thread to make it clear what is available (menu) and the cost?

Quoted from Joeynelyse:Afternoon sir! A month or so ago u started asking for personal emails to correspond with those of us in Batch 6. Just checking to see how things are going and if u need anything? Joe
Don’t take it the wrong way but I did that to avoid these kind of posts. I’m pretty much done communicating Batch 6 matters here. I may post a pic or say something here and there but I would like to shift all communication to email. If email proves to be too much for me, I’ll just communicate via PM. If I haven’t sent you an email that means I got nothing to ask or report yet. We are still working out some kinks and adding more stuff than initially offered, that I think you’ll appreciate very much and will blow your minds! I wouldn’t be adding stuff if I didn’t think it was a good idea.
All Batch 6 members are asked to please stop worrying and just hang on. I don’t need anything. If you (Batch 6 members) are loosing patience, please know that we (Ricochet and myself) are adding some awesome upgrades to the controller mod which I’m sure you’ll like and appreciate very much!
Any other comments or concerns send me a PM or an email once I send that initial email. Thanks!
If you are interested in Batch 7 and beyond, don’t worry! I’ll keep posting here as usual. The previous post was for Batch 6 only.

I may do that update once Batch 7 gets closer. At this time, I’m working on Batch 6 and got my hands FULL. If you got any specific questions send me a PM please. Thanks!

I am sooo jelly! I love how the Nazi bastard is aiming his Howitzer (or whatever it is) at the other plane!
What an amazing addition to such a beautiful pin! I cannot wait to get mine (yay Batch 7!)
Stunning work, guys. Really something to behold

KornFreak28 how do I get my name on the list for the next batch. Would love these for my IJ
Quoted from SFBP36:Please add me to the list for a set of both as well! These are awesome.
Sure will! Thanks!

You just did! Thanks!
Quoted from KornFreak28:You just did! Thanks!
I’m kinda sad though. These airball deflectors are keeping the planes from Korn safe. If I got a good airball smack I’d have to order another set. Obviously with all the options.
George, would you believe me if I told you my dog ate a set?

Hahaha actually, I would!
Quoted from dzmechanical:Is it to late to get on the list .
Add me for both.Thanks
You got it!
Is there anyone who sells the airball deflectors anymore? I'm new to IJ and it does bounce all around on some shots. I am in Batch 7 for Korn's badass planes, so I want to protect them.
Thanks!

Funny story. I hit Davi up for an extra deflector when my order was ready and he told me one was all I’d need. Damned if he was right. Not a scratch on it, been installed for a year now.
George, where are the options for batch 7 planes? Is it pm only or posted in this thread? 
How do you know if you’re in batch 7 already? Thought I’d be in 6 but wasn’t. Should be near top of list for 7. Do we see a list or get a message?

I believe Davi is making another Batch next month. You should contact him. I’m out of stock.

The options would be the same as Batch 6 but with possibly a couple more add-ons which are still in the drawing board.
You can always hit me up on PM.
Do you know what Batch 6 has?
By the way, We just finished working on some awesome upgrades for the speed controller and the planes that weren’t part of the initial package!
Some updates for the speed controller are basically free. Batch 6 is getting WAY more than what was initially talked about. There is also one more awesome and I mean awesome add-on for the speed controller which will be announced very very soon.
Trust me, Ricochet hit this one out of the park! We both make a great team. We both worked extremely HARD on this one to get the results you guys deserve. The testing and upgrades were SO extensive but VERY rewarding at the same time!
We will let Batch 6 know Once I get a head count of who’s in.
There are 2 more plane upgrades as well!
It’s been a long time coming but the fighter is finally getting cowling guns! I really really like how the cowling guns look on the fighter plane.
So now, there are basically 3 options for the fighter:
1: Leave fighter with the one led under each wing
2: Add cowling guns and have a total of 4 leds. This option maximizes the dogfight experience between Henry and the fighter.
3: Omit the leds under the wings and just have cowling guns just like the movie plane had.
For the Tiger moth, There is an option called “The body-led” and what it is, is basically a tiny led installed on the Biplane’s body and opposite to the player’s view. This led will be barely visible but will pack a big punch. It will make it look like taking on fire from the fighter plane to enhance the dogfight experience.
I’ll send more details to those in Batch 6 in the coming days 
Quoted from bane:How do you know if you’re in batch 7 already? Thought I’d be in 6 but wasn’t. Should be near top of list for 7. Do we see a list or get a message?
You belong to Batch 7. I’ll send u a message

Love it, glad to be a part of it! Let’s go batch 7!!!
If you posted here you are on the list. Don’t worry about me not posting lists or whatnot. I just don’t have the time to compile lists at this time but rest assure that if you posted, you are good. Thanks!
Quoted from Gogdog:Hate to ask...but just want to confirm I'm also on the list somewhere? I asked several months ago...

Great.
Looking forward to the message from you.
I am in 100%. Your work is awesome.
Bath 6 Give the extra add-ons some thought and let me know if you are in asap. I’ll send you a message with the details hopefully tomorrow. Thanks!

I would want to get in this action as well. I guess I would be in batch 7 then or so and will hear about the available options later (?) I am from Finland, so I guess its not worth to send any plane or bracket from here first to the US, but rather order everything to you to mod from Marco's or PBL.
… and speaking of add-ons 
INTRODUCING THE ACTION EXPANDER PACK!
Deluxe Controller customers have a new option available to them, the Action Expander Pack. The expander pack adds more plane action to the Deluxe Controller!
Your base Deluxe Controller spins the planes propellers when you hit a lit ramp shot… as well as many other shots and modes.
When you add the Action Expander Pack your planes propellers will also spin when making either ramp shot whether lit or unlit… among lots of other shots!
When you add the Action Expander Pack incomplete ramp shots will also make the plane propellers “sputter” in concert with the plane engine starting sound of the game.
As an added bonus a user configurable jumper is provided to set the action behavior
Position A: Both plane propellers spin simultaneously on all ramp shots LIT or UNLIT. Both planes will also sputter simultaneously on LIT or UNLIT incomplete ramp shots.
Position B: Both plane propellers spin on LIT ramps but on UNLIT ramps balls passing through the left ramp will spin the Tiger propeller and the right ramp will spin the Fighter propeller. Tiger sputter will occur on an incomplete left ramp and Fighter sputter will occur on incomplete right ramp shots.
The pack is connected in-line with the 10 opto board of your game and is connected to the Deluxe Controller's AUX expansion port.
Your Deluxe Controller comes shipped with firmware that is compatible and ready to run with the Action Expander. The expansion kit can be added at any time. We will have limited quantities available when your plane/kit is ready for you.
We are always improving and doing our best to add excitement and fun to this mod! Thanks for hanging in there with us!
If you are in batch 6 with the Deluxe Controller you may PM me for details if interested!

Hello! I will contact you by PM!
Batch 6, These add-ons took a lot of hard work and dedication and will enhance your plane experience to a whole new level. Please advise Ricochet if you are in on the action expander pack and myself if you are in on the cowling guns and body led! Thanks!

That’s amazing - I’m in on that! I’m a batch 7 guy
Quoted from KornFreak28:Batch 6, These add-ons took a lot of hard work and dedication and will enhance your plane experience to a whole new level. Please advise Ricochet if you are in on the action expander pack and myself if you are in on the cowling guns and body led! Thanks!
Also in on the guns and body LEDs
Batch 6. We realize it’s been a while since the list was started. Believe it or not, we’ve been working very hard adding more stuff to make the planes even better for you but at this time, I need to know if you are still committed to the planes.
Plane Building is now starting. No more updates. I also warned you that plane building isn’t something quick. You all understood that and got in. Again, please advise if you are still committed.
Otherwise, we can replace you with someone from Batch 7 and that person can pay you back for the money you spent already on figures and the controller mod but I need to know asap because once I start the build there are NO replacements.
Anybody in Batch 7 waiting to get in, this could be the chance if someone bails. Thank you all for your patience and please advise asap!
Truth be told y’all took a bit of a schedule hit due to me… I had to move … got sick…wife got sick… it really took a toll on my time, and life.
I’m still not in my new home and don’t have my shop setup so I had to rely on Korn heavily for the final testing of the Deluxe Controller… and the Action Pack. We worked around the clock to try and make up for lost time and to get it 100% right.
Waiting sucks I know… but I decided to do a redesign of the Deluxe Controller sorta late in the game due to how the testing was going. Some of the reasons for the redesign were …
1. Added complete control of motor speed in software so that we have a consistent product and gives the customer a better range of control.
2. Change motor drivers to use an off-the-shelf small robotics driver.
3. Added a beefy high efficient switching power supply for the motor power. I was never satisfied with the performance of the linear supply’s especially at low RPMs. I felt like I wasn’t hitting the mark on the speed control.
4. Added 8 more bits of IO to control to accommodate the AUX expansion capabilities and enable the Action Pack... and other stuff 
5. Added extensive built in test diagnostics.
There is so much more … it’s pretty much future proof now… Deluxe Customers are getting a pretty sophisticated product.
One thing I can tell you is this, what my measure of standard is: I am making a product that I would want in my machine… and if you’ve seen my resto work you will see I have pretty high standards. This mod should feel like it belongs in the game... as if it were part of the game from the get-go. It also has to feel like a commercial product, not some after-market hack. I use commercial grade parts where I can and don't cut corners to save a buck. I love this hobby and love this game and am truly excited to make this for everyone.
So we are in full production now. If the wait has turned some of you sour then I am sorry for contributing a bit to that, it was not intentional and some of it was done with the absolute proper intention … I hope we can make it work for you no matter what.
Thanks
Jim
