Building log - Dragonus II PRO:
Day 1 (two hours): Rotor head, swashplate, tail box.
Day 2 (one hour): Frame
Day 3 (two hours): General assembly: gear, tail, rotor, main gear, belt adjust.
Day 4 (one hour): CCPM servo setup, motor soldering, ESC connectors, motor test (original ESC-Motor cable coloring makes the motor to spin backwards. Easy fix: connect red with yellow and yellow with red to make the motor spin in the correct direction.
Day 5 (one hour): Tail servo install, motor install. (don't forget to loctite the motor pinion).
Day 6 (one and a half hour): Servo horns setup.
Day 7 (three hours): Horns install, links measurement, CCPM radio setup, tail calibration, gyro, main blades, cable routing, check CG, ready.
Day 8: Maiden flight. One hell of machine.
Recommendations:
- Threadlock ALL the screws that are against metal. No exceptions, please.
- Threadlock the motor pinion in the inside.
- Start with the canopy holders before assembling the main frame. Otherwise it will be too difficult to install the canopy holders.
- Don't follow the manual when installing the landing skids base plate. First, attach the landing skids to that plate, and then assemble that to the fuselage.
- The belt should be tense, but not too much. Next to the red pulleys, press gently the two belts against each other using a screwdriver: You should feel the resistance from tension, but you should also be able to touch each other without stressing too much.
- Watch the servo horns. They should not touch the frames.
- The canopy should not touch any link. If it happens, dremel your canopy to provide enough space.
- Check everything before each flight. Look for loose links or loose screws.
GY-401 works perfectly for the DII.
bending a credit card, you can add a battery support if you want to mount it over instead of inside the fuselage:

Bonito !
Le voy a sacar unas fotos al mio. Me acabo de armar otro un Elite pero tengo unos problemas raros.
Es muy rico el Heli.
Compadre, estupendo armado, te la jugaste, gracias por todo tu trabajo y compartirlo con nosotros
a ver si voy el domingo a la ciudad empresarial :D
YO TAMBIEN TENGO UN DRAGONUS PRO Y ES UNA MARAVILLA!!! SOLO QUE LO ESTRELLÉ EN UNA MALA MANIOBRA Y AL REPARARLO SIENTO QUE ALGO NO ESTA BIEN PUESTO QUE SIENTO QUE EL ROTOR ESTA FLOJO! ME GUSTARÍA QUE ALGUIEN ME AYUDARA A CONFIRMAR SI MI HELI QUEDO MAL O ES NORMAL! LO QUE LE SUCEDE ES QUE LOS SOPORTES DE LAS HELICES TIENEN UNA ESPECIE DE JUEGO. YA SABEN QUE LOS "BLADE HORLDERS" SE SOSTIENEN AL EJE MEDIANTE UN EJE QUE SE LLAMA "FEATHERING SHAFT" Y ENTRE EL EJE PPAL Y LOS BLADE HOLDERS HAY UNAS GOMAS Y UNAS RONDANAS DE PLÁSTICO TRANSPARENTE. PUES DICHAS GOMAS Y PLÁSTICOS ESTAN SEMI DESTROZADOS Y POR ESO MIS BLADE HOLDERS TIENEN JUEGO. ES NORMAL ESE JUEGO? MI MAIL ES LK23G@HOTMAIL.COM

hola me llamo Daniel, y me compre un dragonus pro hace poquito y estoy terminando de armarlo, estoy usando el motor 3300kv y el esc de rcer que me trae, tambien trae 3 piñones, uno de 13T,14T,15T y me gustaria saber cual de los 3 piñones me recomiendan? (yo hago vuelo 3d agresivo jajaja)
How do you install the motor? I assembled the kit, a dragonus plus kit, and I cannot find the bottom mount which the motor rests on. Do you have to build it or something. I am not talking about the top mount.
There is only one motor mount in the kit, the only slotted part in the kit. Motor bolts to this thru slots, which make it adjustable. There is no bottom mount, outrunners can't use one.
