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

DeadTom · 02-13-2007, 12:41 AM

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:

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

Finless · 02-13-2007, 12:47 AM

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 · 02-13-2007, 02:09 AM

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:

Finless · 02-13-2007, 04:57 AM

Your right Jeroen.... Title changed.

I gotta say all this SUCKS but I understand why this happened. I support RC-Tek for the reasons they asked me to pull these... I have a 1/2 built heli that I would have liked to finish for everyone to enjoy and would have on my own had the heli been available here in the US easily.

Again all... Sorry about this.

Bob

bobber · 02-13-2007, 12:04 PM

Bob, could you tell us more about issues between RCTec and manufacturer? I was just going to try to persuade my wifey that we don't need to buy that much of food and redirect that cash flow to Dragonus

And it would be from RCTec.....

bobber · 02-13-2007, 12:29 PM

Pls disregard my previous post..... Just've found the answer on RCGroups...... Starting somewhere there from the post # 321 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...&page=11&pp=30

That is one side of the story only

.
Word is Hobby Lobby will be taking this one up.

No_Gassers_Here · 02-13-2007, 09:20 PM

man this sucks. It's like watching a movie getting up to pee and missing the end you always want to see the end. Bob you are a good guy and you are doing it right and when (if) everything gets fixed I will see the end of that movie thanks for the vids. I guess you should do a video on how not to crash in the mud. LOL burn up my motor there was mud in it after the last crash I just did not catch it and spooled up. I was going to use that as a resson to get a Dragonus II. So I guess I need to buy a motor any suggestions. I have been flying the Align but I want a little more power (higher head speed) thanks again BOB.

Finless · 02-13-2007, 09:24 PM

Align is coming out with a new motor called the 430XL and I got a chance to try it... WOA! Awesome power and I cant wait to get a production unit. You do loose 1 minute of flight time though. I went from 6 minutes to 5.

Bob

No_Gassers_Here · 02-13-2007, 09:27 PM

I'm ok with that I have 10 paks so that's fine when is it coming out and should I just pick up a stock one for now?

Finless · 02-13-2007, 09:31 PM

I understand they are coming in end of the month (about 2 weeks).

Bob

No_Gassers_Here · 02-13-2007, 11:38 PM

thanks Bob I will wait then.I have so much work I am not going to be able to fly for at lest that long.

Sorry for thread jacking.LOL

deadmeat · 02-14-2007, 12:42 AM

Every story has 2 sides, whatever we have read so far basicly from Scott's side, it would be nice if we can get the story from RCer's side.

Naruto28 · 02-14-2007, 12:59 AM

Well that sucks, was looking forward to seeing the remaining vids but what can you do? Sure was a lot of drama over on the rcg thread

. Still, thanks for the vids that made it out there!

Have you been able to finish putting yours together? Just wondering if you had any further thoughts on the build or the heli in general? I ordered an Elite from rc-tek last week, hopefully it will be here tomorrow and I can get started on it. :mrgreen:

PlasticHead · 02-14-2007, 01:07 AM

Finless,

Next time you agree to do a donated heli you should make them agree that you own the video and that you keep them posted as long as you or the site wishes. Your doing the work you should have ownership. If I was a rich guy I'd send you a Dragonus :mrgreen:

No_Gassers_Here · 02-14-2007, 01:24 AM

Is that all it would take? I could buy one send it to you Bob and you could use mine for the build vids.I would love to own a heli Bob built it would make a great addition to my fleet. And you own the vids. you can keep them posted as long as you want.

bstock · 02-14-2007, 04:20 PM

I was thinking the same thing.

I went to get the build videos today - as I was just about ready to buy one... and I wanted to have them handy for when I started on it.

I still want the Dragonus - if only for the adjustable head. I was going to set it up for my beginner/ intermediate flying abilities.

Bob - if you want - I will have it sent to you - and we can get this back on track.

Thanks!!

Brent
