cgc419 -> RE: Dragonfly 22D i Need Help (2/26/2005 8:33:38 PM)

As a beginner with helis myself thought I'll post my experiences with the 22d. I bought mine off EBAY from BIRDDOG DISTRIBUTING in Montana(135$ shipped in 3 days). I am no pro with these toys at all and wanted something cheap and decent to learn on. This fellow Josh must do a good job setting up as I have not had to do any adjusting to the servos/receiver board, only fine tuning on the Transmitter. The only problem mine had setup wise was the main drive gear was not aligned to the driveshaft to the tail rotor, this caused the heli to spin(seems common problem) as the main gear would spin without contacting and sending power thru driveshaft to the rear rotor. I aligned the main gear and instantly the spinning stopped requiring only fine tuning of the emperrage on the transmitter. If when you first receive it you can spin you main rotor by hand and the tail rotor doesn't move, I would check this. All in all I am rather happy with this heli as I was able to get it to hover( albeit for less than 30 seconds) on my first night ever flying. My friend purchase a Venom heli Nightraider that is more poorly made( 2 motors, rear motor already burnt, skids broke, etc) and he paid over $190 for it. This dragonfly 22d is about the best buy you can get for a beginner helicopter, I would recommend it to anyone who is new to the sport and doesn't want to spend arm/leg for a great heli. My 2 cents.
P.S.- the charger that comes with it is crap, burnt out after one charge and is dead as cofirmed with D-mulitimeter, be prepared to purchase a better charger.
