    For clockwise rotating rotor heads the gyro should be set to REV ( reverse ) For counter clockwise
    rotorheads the gyro should be set to normal.

    The Walkera rotates clockwise and your switch should be set to REV, or towards the back of the gyro.

    ok here's the pinnons... http://www.grandrc.com/inc/sdetail/4213.....


    With the stock motor, my 36 will just pop off the ground a few times so I ordered the Align 420LF, ESC and pinions through GrandRC. I still couldn't navigate to the pinions, so I used the link you gave me and loaded up my shopping cart from there. I also sent them an email tellling them what a nightmare their site is to navigate. Even if you choose the menu "All Product" then "motors", the 420LF isn't listed. I'm sure they do a great business, but they're still losing a ton of sales.

    Status: offline     		In order to program my align 25a I had to turn on my transmitter with throttle on low then plug in the batt, then as soon as it starts with the initial tones put the throttle to full, this will enter it into setup mode. Then just follow the instuctions. Hope this helps. I had the same prob but eventually figured it out. But I have set mine to brake off, mid timing, 70% batt, and heli mode but mine still doesn't spool up slowly. It gets to a little under mid throttle and starts hard and fast, so hard it spins it around about 90 degrees. Seems like it might eventually strip a gear. Is this normal for the align 420lf. When I get it off the ground and give it a little more throttle the tail starts to wag. I have experimented with the sensitivity and it doesn't seem to help.

    Status: offline     		I just got my Walkera 36 from ebay. Charged the Ni-MH battery that came with it, and followed the set up described by NOZZARCHELI in this forum. Very good tips with the PLT and PZT. Got my heli to hover for about a minute or two. I am Newbie to helicopter, although I could get this one to work. It is pretty stable and tail does not move a lot. I have a Esky Honeybee FP, and I had to lot of trouble keeping the tail stable. The Walkera is a pleasant surprise and very easy to handle.

    I noticed that even with the Ni-MH battery that came with the helicopter, the motor runs pretty hot. I had the helicopter hover only for 2 minutes, and trimmed it for maybe another 2 minutes, and the motor is very hot. I had also ordered the Walkera brushless motor and ESC, however not installed that yet. Any help on how to replace stock motor with brushless would be appreciated.

    Where is a good place to buy spare parts, upgrades for the Dragonfly 36 ?. I will be also looking for a Li-po after the brushless upgrade..

    Status: offline     		Sparkling fist, why is your motor on an angle? Whats with all the cable ties. I see you have a blue covered lipo, I had one of these and i had to send it back cose they can be manufactured with very low discharge rates, does your lipo work well? curious...

    Status: offline     		I have one of the blue lipo 2200 mah batt, maybe it is not discharging properly (making the engine rev up and down at full throttle) which is making it hop and wag. What is a good alternate battery to buy?
