Agile 5.5 maiden

[r4nd0m]

I keep wondering why there is no uk distributor yet? Have i missed something? In the past I assumed no one would take on kds as they were considered clones. Clearly the Agile is on a different level.

as far as I know, the Agile is no real "KDS" but was designed in Belgium and then manufactured by KDS, hence I believe the sponsored pilots are sponsored by KDS Agile and not KDS ...

That was my understanding too, I have no problem ordering a kit from abroad, but without a uk outlet for spares and support it may be difficult to get beyond being a niche product, which would be a shame as they look really good.

not really, if the builder loses screws on first flight is it?

C'mon Ben, what were you thinking not to loctite them in the first place....








... and again

Mate, they were not just not loctited they were only half in as they are left loose until the boom and tt are installed then done up tight. I completely left them lol

From where?

France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, USA, the list goes on. A simple scan around the usual suspects finds them

Yea, the first KDS looked like copies of the Logo's and I got interested but never bit. This as you say is soo another level.

mate looking at the currency it looks like they are in Switzerland not France ... the address reveals Renens which is in canton auf Vaud in Switzerland - french speaking Switzerland though ... so in this case you may attract taxes as Switzerland isnt part of the tax community within the EU as far as I know ...

[Jamin_00]

Yea Biwix are in Switzerland.

The V1 KDS 550 and 600 are 75% copies of the logo 500/600. The frames are CF but a bad copy of the logo 500/600 carbon frame so I can understand Mikado's upset with KDS but making RH suffer for it is a bit silly and only hurts Mikado's reputation if it is why they and RH are parting ways. The V2 KDS Innova's appear to be new designs but wouldn't rule out them being based on some other manufacturer's model.

Edit:
I tell a lie the V2 is still a logo copy but now comes with a DFC head.

Ready Heli also parted company with AleeS Rush line recently too, must be some big changes in the background...

[Jamin_00]

It might not have anything to do with KDS at all??

As said above they parted with Alees too so might be making some changes they want to make?

[waveydavey]

The Agile range are designed by an Italian Roberto Gaziano and manufactured in China at the KDS factory, a beautiful pair Ben and one I will watch for certain.

Ugh what I'd this fascination with tube drive tails.

Not sure if it can be classed as a fascination but why not

[Jamin_00]

TT's are easier

[Ade_Law]

Because they are a pain and expensive to repair after a crash!

Yes, they are more expensive to replace but why are they a pain?
