Yes, you will be sent a tracking number once I buy your shipping label.

Hi everyone, a couple of updates: 1. I am finally (!!!!) shipping Flites from batch #1 - the first are going in the mail today, the rest will follow tomorrow and Thursday. I am very sorry for the delay. I left too many small-but-still-important details to the end, plus there was a major holiday...

The LEDs shine up through the insert. There is some visibility, but CF is opaque so it does block a lot of the light. I'll take a picture the next time I have one in front of me. >I am not understanding how it limits range, is this physical or electrical? The limit is physical, and it's due to...

Sure, @Prophecy . The under coil LEDs are a battery meter in the sense that they're driven directly from the batteries, and their brightness (or dimness) is an accurate indicator of remaining battery life. They will dim considerably before the the low voltage cutoff kills power. It is not a...

Hi all, I've posted the first version of the Flite Quick Start Guide to the fluxerheaters.com site, if anyone is interested: Download Flite Quick Start PDF Hopefully we caught the more egregious errors, but if you see something out of place or in need of clarification, please let me know...

Hi all, I hope everyone had a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a fulfilling solstice, and a great Friday night. :wave: Flite batch #1 is built, tested, and finally ready to be put into their cases for shipment: Making this first batch was very informative - :sherlock: - and I have already...

Hi @Aos3327 , Thank you for your interest! As @Texus said, the first batch sold out, but I'll have more for sale this week, after I finish the first batch and ship them out. I'll post the info to this thread in another day or two. Merry Christmas, all! Happy holidays!

I'm tryin' @DHV8654 . :wave: Making two dozen in a batch for first time vs. making individual units is very revealing. I made steady progress through the batch's early build stages, but assembling and installing the control panel PCBs - and troubleshooting a few issues that have come up - has...

Thanks for asking, @Eclipse .Yes, I definitely plan on revising the FD. I love it and am still very proud of it...plus, I still have a couple of hundred FD cases in my garage ;) . The revision should incorporate many of the features you see in the Flite: PWM, a smaller battery management...

Excellent question, @dcon67 ! They are not compatible: the Flite and Flux Deluxe use a 2.1mm x 5.5mm tip, the Flix uses a 2.5mm x 5.5mm tip. There are several reasons why I did this, but the most important is that the Flite is purpose-built to run from 3x 18350 cells. The Flite doesn't have...

Thanks for the suggestion, @dantemaniaco . I'll give it some thought for the future. FWIW, I see my share of these after they've been used for a while, and I need to tell folks, "it's OK to use iso to clean these!" If you notice your heater looks kinda gross, swipe it with some isopropyl...

Not formally. Like my other heaters, the electronics in this one are adjacent to the heater compartment, but there's no barrier between the two areas. I'll keep that in mind for the future. :tup:

In this instance the vents are more for look than function. You don’t “need” them, but I’ll add them if you want them.

Yes, it comes in the gray pouch @TommyDee has shown in a few pics. He added a leather drawstring to his; the stock bag comes w/a regular string pull.

OK, thanks to @NexVision 's request, for an extra $20 you can add Flux Deluxe-style vent holes, if so desired. The Flite's are a size smaller than the FD and Flix vent holes: If you are part of the first batch and want yours to also get the FD treatment, let me know via email...

HI all, Taking a break from shop-time to grab a bite and wanted to thank everyone in this thread, again, for your support and patience yesterday! I had a lot of stuff to wrap up before I could begin selling Flites, and I regret that it took me all day to get through it. Thank you to those of...

What a tremendous response! Thank you, all! :rockon: It has been a long day at the keyboard. I am going to join my family for dinner, but I'll be back later and will follow up with any questions or concerns then. Cheers, :leaf:

BTW, they say it is a poor craftsman that blames his tools, but I need to wag a finger at the GoDaddy web store's storefront software. It kinda sucks, as it won't allow me to make the sort of decision tree I need to manage color choices as I would like to. That's the main reason why I have...

I sent him a PM, will see what I can do.

Whew. Glad to finally be able to deliver this to you all (or at least...start that process). Thank you! I sincerely hope you like it. :) I will get these out ASAP, and try to keep the line moving going forward. I'll keep you guys updated as things progress. Thank you all! :clap::rockon: :wave:
