You haven't answered my question as to what you consider I didn't cover - I thought I'd covered all the build - as far as installation of radio and electronics is concerned I don't cover that in detail as everyones gear is different and people building this scale of heli are usually experienced enough not to need a blow by blow account.

If you're disappointed in my vids that's fine - you wouldn't be disappointed in the Joker3

Mercuriell, this is unacceptable, you're so fired for having forgotten to show how to bolt the blades on and you have to give back whatever huge amount of money you have earned from this build video serie which is obviously theft. Oh, next time do us a favor and don't even bother to begin a new build videos serie so we don't get disappointed anymore.



Sorry, I don't usually get sarcastic, but some people have some nerves

LOL that was funny, you did a good job John.

Thanks guys - I was pleased with the series I pointed out to the unhappy poster that I have no promotional links with Minicopter, paid full price for everything (as I do for virtually all my builds) and that I don't claim to be an expert on anything - I just enjoy the builds and enjoy sharing my experience with them !

Hey John, please keep delighting us with exotic builds and great tips!

John,
Many thanks for a well done job.
Excellent info to have.

john,

many thanks for doing the build videos - I had the itch for a new 700 sized heli and after watching some of these videos and reading your other posts about this heli, I decided to give the joker a try.

Just received the kit and started on the build :-)

btw, I was watching the tail assembly video and noticed that the order of parts you give differs from the manual - in particular, you had the 0.2mm spacers on either side of the part that bolts into the blade grips rather than either side of the outer radial bearing.

You have good eyes ! Yes I put the shims either side of the locking collar rather than either side of the outer radial bearing - this would have the effect of mounting the grips 0.2mm further outboard which I don't think will have any discernible effect - mine certainly works fine but as always - stick to the designer's plan!

I love my Joker3 and although I have too many helis this is one I will keep !

Thanks John,

I can only dream of owning a heli of this quality, but I always enjoy watching the builds.
