Neu 1509 1.5D motor

[ssspconcepts]

Anybody know where I can buy a Neu 1509 1.5D motor? I am hoping somebody has one in stock somewhere? I have an email in to Mike, but I am not optomistic that he will be able to land his hands on one quickly...

About two weeks ago, I saw that Mike didn't have one in stock, so I ordered one from Diversity Model Aircraft. It showed "in stock" on their website, and the website let me process my order, so I paid the $218 via pay pal and have been waiting ever since. Well I never got shipping notification so tonight I decided to check on the order...Steve emails me back with oh yeah..."I'm sorry its out of stock...there is a 4-8 week wait for that motor."

What is up with that?!?! Why would it show in stock in their online catalog and why wouldn't they contact a customer to make the notification that the product is on backorder?

What's a good alt to the 1509 1.5D?
