    Status: offline     		Hey Folks. New to helis. Planes years ago. Got a 36 and after maybe 5 minutes of trying to things zeroed, the tail started going clockwize.

    I read this thread, looked closer and noticed that the slider assembly on the tail shaft was melted. Ever see this.? Bad quality.

    Next question: I want to replace the tail assembly with something better. What do you recommend and where do I get it? I'm in the states.

    Thanks in advance.

    Caz

    Status: offline     		I do believe that if the tail is spinning clockwise instead of counter, it is because of the belt, ur belt must bet twisted the wrong way in the tail.
    I think i fyou replace the whole tail ( minus boom ) you can get trex stuff (just for the tail tho)

    Status: offline     		Thanks for the reply. It was counter clockwise, not clockwise, sorry. The slider was not really attaches cuz is was melted so I think the lack of control was the issue. Even when I tried to trim there was no effect. What company supplies the best parts?

    Thanks

    Status: offline     		I had the same right stick problem. Being a r/c technician since 70's I opened up the XMTR, a couple of screws later put the stick mechanism into the correct hole, bam works fine! My shipment from China was missing advertized Pitch guage + Crash kit. Seller states he will ship missing items. Heli came with 1500mah LiPo, I'm looking for a source to buy either 1800mah or 2200mah LiPo if anyone can direct me. Thanks

    Status: offline     		I appreciate everyone's input. As a newbie, I have learned a lot about heli's and the Dragonfly 36. My 36 seems to be in fairly good shape and have not had any major problems (YET) although it looks like I will need to upgrade my battery from the 650mah to a LiPO along with a motor upgrade and I assume this could be my problem. The problem that I'm having is that as my heli gets light of the skids the motor suddenly seems to go into overdrive or like it may be slipping gears or something yet I'm not noticing anything unusual or stripped gears when I manually turn the main blades. I had a low impact crash where I did not get the throttle turned down in time and not sure if this may have damaged the motor. Any suggestions??????????

    Status: offline     		One more note on the above post. I loose rotor speed once the motor problem kicks in @ 60% throttle. Everything seems to run smoothly up to that point. Thanks.......

    Status: offline     		Hi, I'm a newb too, but have also read alot, and to me it sounds like either one way bering or a messed up motor maybe, or maybe your pinion would be slipping.....

    Thanks for any absolute solutions you can give!

    Status: offline     		Hi Guys, and hello from another newb struck by the heli bug, (my #36 is still in the box waiting for my sim to arrive)
    I just found this "WALKERA PITCH GAUGE" on Ebay and wondered if this is something that would help or is it just a waste of $35au

    Status: offline     		Thanks, setting the blade pitch is one thing that worries me a bit, I've read quite a lot about it but most of it I didn't understand.

    Status: offline     		Hi There, you seem to know a little about the Walkera 36 RC helicopter. I'm new and just opened it on Christmas day. Charged the battery and installed new AA in the TX. I can't seem to get the helicopter to respond to the the TX controls. Do you know where I can find instructions on how to confirm my setup? The instructions that came with it were pretty poorly written and doesn't contain a whole lot of information.

    Thanks, Rick
