Nick in the news

[Kevin Rochon]

earlier I saw the tail end of a report on Radio Canada about octocopter and the police using them and Nick from ND heli was interviewed.

That's mine, (I mean) the one I built for Nick.
Is a regular octo XL, with the cinestar 360d gimbal. I never thought it will be able to pick-up so much weight. Good job.
Way to go Nick.
awesome.

cheers

Way to go Billy! You should get credits for the building and then the orders will start coming!

[finnegan]

Didn't the reporter mention $30,000.00 as the cost?
How much for just the Octo and gimabal?

Wow Your making a lot of money:D we’ll be calling you Billy Gates soon :D

[zorba]

Hah? 30K no way. Is just a bit over the top.
I don't know If I should say how much I leave it up to Nick. But no way near that.
Way to go Billy! You should get credits for the building and then the orders will start coming!

I don't think he remembers very well when he is excited.LOL
I hope the orders will come I love doing this. If I have enough I might quit my job and do this instead. And visit the club more often.

If I was making that kind of money Jimmy, I would have more planes than David.:D:D

Is not just building guys.
These machines are not ARF or RTF. They come in pieces. Some can be ordered RTF/ARF but is no fun.

I like to change things on them to make them better, and they are better when I'm done. Take a look at Nick's machine, is part MK, part cinestar and part Photohigher and it works.

That sucker lifted a 5lbs Anvil I had at the shop when Nick came to pick it up.
And she hovered.

Right now I am working on putting together a friends plane. Is a dissaster.
The dessigner of this plane should of been shot on the spot.
What a mess. But it will fly when I'm done with it and it will look good.

that's all

cheers

Congrats for the building Billy... you are an amazing builder!!!
Yes, they should give you some credits and I am sure somebody would contact you for building more! maybe the police, army, airport, photo companies, film companies, you never know!

It takes alot of advertising to do that and lots of money.
Thanks for the comments though.
I talked to him briefly and he wants to build more will see...


PS. wait till you see my new toy.
