Joker head & test flights

[AZ ChopperCam]

Got all the stuff in from Andrey. will spend the weekend tearing down the stock Joker CX and installing his frames.

[askman]

I sent DJ the most of the frame part for fitment only. (it is not complete set) if these lines up ok, I will machine the full set out of CF and ship to DJ. I picked up a lower side frame for joker 2 as well, and started on that as well. I am finding that CF that I am using is higher quality than what minicopter uses. :) and tiny bit thicker.

Nice, I was worried that the project was aborted. Keep us updated on the progress.

Oh, and if you need someone to test out the mount just let me know. :lol:

Askman , do you custom one-off cutting of CF parts ? I have DXF files. I have a few projects of my own going on....

sorry for not seeing this before. :) sure I can do some customer stuff, but I am going to be honest. MJP carbon may be cheaper. really depends on how complicated and what size and quantity. if you can wait, I will probably have more bandwidth as the season gets cooler, so may be cheaper. :D


anyway, I got the joker parts almost ready to ship DJ.

[AZ ChopperCam]

ohhhh (rubs hands together with evil grin) I am getting anxious to try these babies out!

I need to get this Joker in the air and making money.

[loewermx]

I, just like DJ, am ready to get my Joker up and going. I am assuming that this would work great for video. I have a possible job lined up that will require a lot of video. (music video)

Please keep me updated on the progress and a est. date of avaiablility.

DJ should have it by the weekend, so once he ok's it, it is available.

Thanks. I have used MJP in the past and he is excellent. Sometimes he is so busy I just wanted another option if I need something quick, but sounds like your in the same boat LOL

Mark Pozzoulli cuts all my carbon arches. fantastic stand-up guy!

[loewermx]

OK, sound great!

Couple of other questions,

Do you have an estimated price? Just a ballpark?

Where can I put a pre order in?

I won't be selling any complete mount sets for the Jokers just yet. I'm sticking to Raptors for now. Maybe Andrey will release a complete solution for the Jokers.

Of course you could always get a gimbal from me and put it on Andreys Joker frames. PM me if interested,

[askman]

I am sure we can work things out to meet everyone's need. if you want DJ's gimbal, I can ship a setup to him to finish out and ship to the owner. this setup will cost more than raptor, due to addition of sideframe. I have couple options on the gimbals as well. I really need to update my website, but been so busy. (I even have someone helping me out on that) it will get done.

I had to make couple minor adjustment on yours DJ. (had to recut couple pieces) it will ship in the morning. should have it by friday. :)

sounds great Andrey. Take your time.
