Dragonus videos are here

[Finless]

OK Here are the Dragonus Videos.

I would like to thank Scott Booth from RC-Tek for supporting these even though they do nothing for him business wise. Scott and I agreed it would be best to support customers even though the manufacturer will benefit from these in the long run and RC-Tek will gain nothing other than letting customers know how much they think about support!

My personal opinion is I support Scott for thinking about customers and I say "Shame on you RCer" for how you do business. While I think this is a good heli RCer has done nothing for customers! I want to remind everyone RC-Tek supplied the kit and supported me doing these videos NOT the manufacturer!

Anyway, thanks Scott for seeing how these help customers of yours and I think we will see that in the long run you will do well! I cant wait to work with you again!

So after all that said, here we go:

[No_Gassers_Here]

Hay Bob what happen to your RIght hand? That looks like it hurt.

[Finless]

I dropped a soldering iron and I reacted and reached for it... OUCH... It did not hurt really but did leave a scar!

OK I have to leave town for a week on business. I will finish this build the week of Feb. 12th.

Enjoy,
Bob


Nice work Bob,
I just finished building my Elite. still have radio and electrics to install so its going to be awhile before i get to fly it. Cant wait to hear your flight impressions. This bird was my first ever build and it went nice and smooth with no surprises (except for the tail blade shims).

I also really like the quality feel of the machined components.

Be safe,
Frank

I did that once with a roofing torch but it hurt like hell won't do that again.LOL

[ozace]

Looking forward to your flight report Bob :smokin:

[Pinecone]

The thing is, if you burn yourself badly enough (3rd degree) it doesn't really hurt, as the nerves are cooked. BT, DT.

Thanks Bob, I've been looking forward to checking out this heli.

Keep it up Bob, these videos rock :Band

[Butuz]

[Naruto28]

Thanks for the vids Bob! Now I have to have one.....just ordered :mrgreen:

[jurassic5]

I just emailed the links to a friend of mine who bought a Dragonus.

Thanks Bob ! You just rock the heli's place

Cédric. :twisted:

[Finless]

Well I am back from my trip and will be finishing some vids up today....
I am waiting on the new ESC from RC-Tek to do the electronics placement but I should get the head and servo setups done today....

Enjoy,
Bob

[glock2101]

Bob,
I don't know you, and I'm totally new to r/c heli flying and your videos are great for people like me who have no idea what they are getting themselves in to. I've made up my mind, im definatley getting a CX2 coaxial, but i think im going to also buy a CX2 Pro for later use (this is a one time thing for me having the cash laying aorund to buy it.. so its now or never) I was thinking about the Dragonus your building now, but I dont think it comes with all the nuts n bolts, I don't think I'd mind putting one together but i need all the parts at one time, radios/ motor etc..

anyways, thanks for puttin the vids up, and.. Ill be looking back for more!!

[rdlohr]

I wish I could say I never did that. I was protecting a rug. OOOOOOOOOOOUCH!

[ozace]

Thanks for the update Bob. Its a damn shame as the Heli certainly deserves better than the squabbles that have gone on. :dontknow

[DeadTom]

All I can say is thanks Bob for your time, I did down load the vids last week though.
I have a Dragonus on it's way to me and all I can say to that is this really stinks
as to the business at hand with this heli. I still look forward to building and flying this little beauty. And we still have HoverHobbies.com who are selling parts and kits for the Dragonus. :wink:

DeadTom

Certainly a good source but there are other places out of the US for the rest of us

[Finless]

DeadTom, thanks for the info... Since I WILL be flying this heli and love it so far I will need parts if I crash it or wear out stuff...

Again man... I am truely sorry about this half started attempt with my videos :(

This is not something I do lightly and I feel bad about pulling them :(

Bob

[BarnOwl]

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you should edit the title of this thread. It is a bit confusing like this. I only found out what you were talking about after I read the first post again........ :wink:
