What else do I have to do to get on the list???? It doesn't matter which serial number.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

modamag -

Could your work be more precise?

Re: Introducing "Draco"

I do not know how I missed this. Please make the 150 so I can get in.

Ti and turbohead

Robo

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Im still not on the list. Please add me to the Ti-TiN list any number.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

1st choice TiCN
2nd choice AL
Price dependant, of course.
Preference on both would be no serial number.

Thanks

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Tony,

If there are any slots left, please put me down for a second light - Aluminum.
That would make it one light Titanium, depending on price, and one light Aluminum for sure. Any numbers are okay.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

I have been reading the thread and I need to add I want the TiCN coating.
TiCN-Ti-both heads-any number
is it possible to get both bodies?

Re: Introducing "Draco"

#146 here. Please update my info with (SWOH LuxI - uPic - Diagonal Knurdling).

Thanks.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Hey Cro,

Thanks for the list keeping.

I'm number 49 and 51

I listed in a previous post the request for a Aluminum one in addition to #49 and #51. Please let me know if thats possible.

Thanks, frisco

No problem frisco, I'll adjust it at the next update along with all the other new change requests. You have low numbers so no worries with options for you.

Thanks for posting your serial numbers.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Doesn't look i made the list. Could you add me?

Look at me, just running across this now. I'm in for one and a turbo head with the not-uPIC driver. Most likely AL and S-bin, though i'll wait for details to say for sure on those two details.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Looks like I did overlook you Archangel. That means you go into the Helios spot and Helios bumps Shaocaholica to the first back-up position.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Don't stress too much Shaocaholica. The odds are that at least one of the first 150 people will back out for one reason or another.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Tony,

Just so there is no ambiguity in my preferences, please adjust #55 to reflect "TiN with Turbo" and Backup - #13 "Aluminum with Turbo".

Thanks for all your work on keeping the list and for being so patient with those of us who are being a PITA with all our changes.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

any idea what the runtime on high will be on the DRACO?

I've heard 80 hours on high and 1200 hours on low, but that's only if you are using the new micro Mr Fusion fuel cell. :laughing:

Re: Introducing "Draco"

I am currently 145 on the list in post #6 - if possible I would like to switch to Al from Ti - let me know if I need to find someone to trade spots with or if its all good. I don't really care what serial number I end up with in the end.

Thanks!

Re: Introducing "Draco"

*** Design Change ***
Due to the many request for LuxI I have change the default LED to LuxI. LuxIII will be an option.

Here's a quick explaination of why I sucum to the request.

If we use a constant current converter, then the most logical choice for LED is a LuxI (S-bin). From preliminary data it have consistantly outperform the LuxIII (U-bin) by ~3-7%. Tint (color) is also much more manageable.

However, I do not recommend the LuxI for those individual who selected the uPic converter option. The uPIC basically PWM (on-off-on-off quickly) the LED. During the ON cycle the LED could experience current surge as high as 1200mA. LuxI internal resistant significantly increase when it's driven at > 500mA. LEDs are solid state device it not like incandescent, which is more tolerant to burst. So if you want to use uPIC option I recommend the LuxIII , which is much more tolerant to that current level.


Shaocaholica: Diagonal knurling is the final production design.
Icebreak: Yes it could be more precise ... actually it could be down to 0.0002" (0.005mm) but then it will carry the cost of "space shuttle" parts.
Final price = Current Price << 3
jar3ds: Runtime:
· ~ hi setting (350mA) = 33 minutes
· ~ low setting (60mA) = 3.6 hours
JimH: You're killing me. The're gonna make me commit to that. Then I'll start doing more R&D with the with the Micro Jet Engine. Here are some samples.
At that point Draco will really be breathing out fire.
