Im turning every penny as I am getting closer to finishing the first batch of Satran antenna rotators "MK2". Product development is insanely expensive and time consuming. At least when you wont compromise on quality or cant pay someone else to do the work for you. But nothing will stop this great project.
The first batch is only 10 pieces, but it will bring in enough capital to pay for necessary equipment and components to scale up further. RnD on a budget means I need to learn and master almost every step possible myself. Quite a big challenge, but I probably have learnt more in the last year than in the previous ten. It all seems overwhelming right now, but will make a big difference in the future.
I expect the first kits to be ready for sale within a few weeks. Fingers crossed.

Great project, Daniel! You might think about setting up a little crowdfunding to help you out!? Or just take a pre-order list for the first n orders and give them a small discount for payment in advance!? Good luck!

I have considered both options, but there are some obstacles which is why I choose this way. But hopefully its only a matter of weeks until its ready for sale. Logistics and supply is not as it used to be =)
