Status: offline 		Just found a website sell this Heli.
They said it has build-in ESC, improved electronic parts,
and it is enhance version of walkera 36.

But i think it seems more close to walkera 60.

Anyone have it?

Status: offline 		Walkera 37 is basically an improvement of walkera 36,

- belt-driven tail rotor same as 36
- main rotor head is now true CCPM with 3 * 120° servos
- electronic is the same except (maybe) new gyro with avcs and improved transmitter

Status: offline 		If you like the No. 37, I think you should consider the No. 60 - very good and stable helicopter after test fly.
You can check the demo flying movie of the No. 60

Status: offline 		This thread isn't getting much use... however, I'd love to see more users who own the 37 start posting any issues they're having with the bird - Good and Bad! I just bought one today, although it has not arrived yet, I'd love to hear what's going on with One of Walkeras newest models....

Status: offline 		Has anyone noticed that the 37 has a metal main frame? I guess that explains it's 640g weight...

Status: offline 		The manual says it's a metal mainframe, but I haven't seen any other online literature stating that it has a metal main frame. I think the 640g weight is with the battery. All the pix look like the frame is plastic but who knows...

Status: offline 		The #37's manual says "All-up Weight: 640g (Battery included)", that's 60g heavier than the "All-up Weight: 580g (Battery included)" listed in the #36's manual. But after looking at it closer I think your right, it's not metal but I noticed one thing...it's not really an improved #36, it's completely different...with CCPM it has a solid main shaft, the rx is mounted in a different location, the rotor head is like the #59 & #60, and check out the new dual ball bearing hinged tail pitch slider that also has a metal ball link instead of a pin on the bottom. The whole helicopter appears to be completely refined.... Also one of the best things about it I found was a 'Buy it Now' price of only $130+$40 shipping&handling on ebay.... I'm impressed....

Status: offline 		Blackhawk-

That's the one I bought! They said it will ship tomorrow morning out of TX. Should get it sometime next week. I noticed the same thing about the 37 vs the 36. Not to mention that the 37 is larger than the 36 (overall length). I've heard it's more like the 39. I saw someone else selling one without electronics today for about the same price as the one you mentioned. Not sure how they justify that but good luck to them just the same...

-Mark

P.S. - speaking of Blackhawks, I fly them (UH-60) with the Army Guard. nice A/C.

Status: offline 		That actually looks like a very altered copy of the X400. Frames and motor mounting look very similar, with the obvious exception that it's plastic rather than metal.

Status: offline 		Copy? I don't know about all that, similar maybe and just over half the cost of the ARF and it's RTF. The X400 doesn't have a metal frame does it? Also the 37 is a true eCCPM machine, the X400 has to have an upgrade for that....

Status: offline 		X400 is a metal frame, yes. eCCPM can be both a blessing and a curse as i'm sure some will tell you. Just about every helicopter Walkera makes is a clone of another helicopter. In some cases, like the #37 here, they'll alter existing designs with their own implementations.

The #37 looks like the bottom base frame of the X400 with a modified top frame for the eCCPM mixing and gyro mounting. The rotorhead is also quite interesting, looks like a really strange mix of the Blade head with the X400 head.

I'd be really interested in finding out how it flies.

One thing I notice is the very poor placement of the tail servo. At the front of the frame with the big ugly control rod. Been there with other helicopters and had nothing but trouble. If someone does get this, you might want to look into a tail mount servo, they offer much better precision and less slop in tail control. (not to mention a cleaner looking setup).

Status: offline 		Any recommendations on what size lipo this bird should use? I'm assuming 11.1V but how about mah and C rating? I've got a 7.4 lipo for my DF4 along with an esky balance charger that will charge both 7.4 and 11.1 so I'm hoping to use this charger rather than buy a new one. I doubt the 7.4, 1800mah, 10C lipo for my DF4 will work with the 37.

Any thoughts??

Status: offline 		Probably not, by the looks of it, you're gonna be looking at 1800+ mAH at 11.1
