Hi guys... First things first; a Happy New Year! May 2014 be full of health, love and prosperity to you all... I (Linda) am enjoying a camping trip at the moment with my parents who came over from Holland for Christmas and NY. The first Holiday in 3-and-a-half years I might add - we have worked...

Thanks Dazzab for the heads up! As I said to Roy - 48 hours is the norm and we are close to having ourselves organized around that. We are in the process of making a lot more information available on our website, especially regarding the RTF and RTB packages... this should help as well. We are...

Hi Roy! Sorry about that - I looked into it and see indeed your initial enquiry took 10 days to reply to! To be honest this surprises me because from what I have been told we were (and are) completely up to date - several times during the past week I have heard that mailboxes were...

Hey Guys, We are working on getting the weights updated, keep an eye on the site and ill drop a post in here when we have them done. The landing gear and weights for the requested are: Landing Gear - 335g Gear Rail Assembly - 345g Cheers T

Hey Dazzab - did we send you the oval shaped engine mount disks in the end...? Sorry for the mix-up, as I mentioned earlier tonight we are in the process of changing all the kits over. We actually used to provide the oval shaped EM's only with the HL SkyJibs since the motors for the Lite are...

Hi again! Just a few more days and the new Titanium features will be on the website. Actually we have already uploaded the new showroom feature slides - just to offer a sneak-peak (SkyJib for example: http://droidworx.co.nz/products/showroom/sky-jib-series/). A bit hidden to the general public...

Hi there! I'd say give it a go - it should be alright. The coaxial does have the advantage of being more compact, but this doesn't mean you can't use the longer booms. We'll introduce an option for a Heavy Lift X4 SkyJib which we will supply with 500mm booms, so your 540mm booms are only 4cm...

Thank you dazzab - I just see your note. Indeed you are right - growing pains... thanks so much for your heads up. We are totally addressing the situation and are fixing it... Your new CX baby if you'd come to it will come in perfect order with some jazzy new bits! Cheers, Linda Ps. Thanks to...

Hi you all! Ouch! Indeed - this is very bad... I am so sorry! This really hurts in many ways... We are in the process of updating all build manuals - we have made some changes to parts that make some fittings obsolete. For example the 4x O-rings have become obsolete after adjusting the...

Hi Roman! Truly the best way to go is to get the new disks - they are made for this type engine in coax configuration... Send me a note on contact@droidworx.co.nz and we'll make arrangements to swap them out, no worries. Sorry btw to you all I have been so absent from the forum... It has just...

Re. the retracts in conjunction with coax configurations: This is a 3D CAD markup of the Retracts at the 160 degree position - any further and the LG skids contact the props (15" props shown here). The end points can be further adjusted to offer slightly more clearance under the props...

Pretty much Ryan - though since on the SkyJib mounting with the larger motors was a bit tight we have designed some specific disks - are being manufactured now and will be available in about two weeks - see drawing:

Sorry it's taking so long guys! And thanks Dave - spot on... AD can indeed be fully upgraded - from 5-spoke crash cage to composite nacelles, coloured boots and gear rail/landing gear assembly - both fixed as well as retracts (when they are ready), standard or extended clearance. I have...

Howdy! Promise - working on having it in the shop by the end of the week - attached a pic. Works on SkyJib, XM, VM and AD and will retail @ 75 NZD... Cheers! Linda

The long and short answer to that question is… maybe. The retracts come with a small electronic device which is in-line between the servo and the receiver…it runs the servo to 188-190 degree’s. We can achieve a “lock out” in the mechanism so the servo drive does not carry any load when the...
