Yes there's a new improved Dragonus II out there and I've got one to review for all of you... I can also tell you that Hobby-Lobby International Inc. will be the USA distributor for the Dragonus II helicopter. My sources have also told me in approximately two weeks or so they should have kits and parts (at the same time)... This kit was provided to me by Hobby-Lobby for the review. Enjoy.

I'm going to show this build a little out of order as compared to the manual. I want to show the differences in this version and most of them are in the frame assembly... No more tiny nuts to try and hold. YES!

No more need for a wrench or pliers or anything to hold those tiny nuts on the inside of the frame during assembly, all you need is a good fitting screwdriver and some threadlocker for the screws...

I must comment at this point on how much easier these "captive" nuts make the assembly of the lower frame. My first Dragonus with the nuts was quite a bit more difficult. Just holding the tiny nuts on the inside of the frame was very tedious, plus you need to apply threadlocker and for me I try not to make too much of a mess of the work. This new design is much better... The assembly time of this new version was about a fourth of my first Dragonus .

I was quite happy to hear that Hobby-Lobby International was going to distribute the Dragonus II it made my day. The parts availability alone will bring many new pilots to this new helicopter I'm sure. In all the threads I read about new and upcoming helis, the first thing everyone wants to know is about spare parts. I am included in that group. The flight reports do not seem as important to most pilots as the spare parts issue.

Moving to the upper frame parts there are a couple more parts where "captive" nuts are used, again this should help to speed up assembly time. Here's a pic...
I need to purchase a scale next time I see them at a decent price. I'd love to compare the weight of using the provided Round Washer Head Phillip Screws with using Stainless Steel SHC Screws, I think they would look really nice. BUT maybe have a large weight penalty.
