| Guys, Irwin and I are talking, and there'll be an Octane Dominator 20cc kit on the way to me shortly. Like many of you who know me, I'm not a QWW fan, I've previously owned one, and while it flew well, the construction and parts quality was not what I would consider good. I'm an experienced builder who builds carefully with calipers and a dial indicator, but I'm also pretty critical of substandard instructions and parts (just read my review of the RJX Xtreme 50 in the RJX forum).
I'll give the heli a fair shake, build it up according to the instructions, and post pics and a video when I am done. I'm not saying I'm better than our friends from the land of OZ (far from it), but rather, I'd like to give the QWW guys a fair chance, but with my previous experiences I'm not willing to put my own cash on the line. Basically, I'm skeptical, just like everyone else in this forum it seems, so I'll build one up and we'll all discover together how a QWW heli builds and flies. Hopefully it'll be here next week and I'll get a chance to get started on it. I'll be honest, I've got high hopes, if they are willing to send me a kit to try out, they must believe in it. Be skeptical all you want about what I'll say, the time I'm going to put into building and setting it up is worth far more than the kit. I'll give it a fair assessment.
