Status: offline 		Well mine is on it's way and we'll see what we get!!!!!!! With the new updates it should have similar characteristcs, however a little more stability in the Aluminum Frame. Mine will be stock as I will want to ad some after market hop ups, but for now only days away. Good luck to you and all of us who have purchased or are thinking of it, keep posting and reading.

Status: offline 		I am still waiting for my DF60 I think it will be better than the 36 because of the aluminum frame and all add on but we can tell until we try it.

Status: offline 		I just ordered a 36. I would say however if you can pay the price, the 60 is probably going to be much better. From some I have heared the new electronics with the 7 channel transmitter as suppose to be much better. I don't know about the frame being aluminum. Someone told me it was actually steel but I have not seen one personnally.

Status: offline 		Well I just opened the box and all seems well. The battery had a partial charge, enough to see it rotate, so I went ahead and lubed all the parts and checked out all of the servo throws. I then removed the blades and balanced them on a gram scale and they were a match. I zip tied the wires up and away, not a bad factory job, but I like it neat so I went to town with a few zip ties. Also I rerouted the wire from the speed controller to the motor through the frame and behind the tail rotor linkage , wrapping the wires in electrical tape so they will not rub on the ALUMINUM Frame.......... I removed the motor and hooked up the battery and pressed the red button on the speed controller, make sure your transmitter panel switch is on N and not #1 as this will be full power, I ran the motor at variable RPM with no resistance for a few minutes then spayed it with cleaner and put it back in. When I reinstalled the motor I moved it back ever so little just to insure a snug mesh on the gears ( Lots of tourque here folks ) stock had too much play and would have stipped main in no time. Also a little dab of light grease goes a long ways on the main gear. Well blades back on and in went my cam, the battery still had some juice so I sat on the floor and just hovered rotated left and right, but maybe tomorrow I'll have a good charge and the wind will be gone and get some air beneath me....

Status: offline 		just got my helis today. First i took out the DF60 and put the battery in(Li-Po) and i put the throttle to about half and i smoothly took off, leaned to the left a little, but thats a small adjustment. Next i got my Night ranger 3d with brushless and lipo out for some 3d mode,. First i hovered it then went ot 3d mode and did loops rolls, and inverted hover. Once i did inverted hover with it about 5 inches from the ground! It was a nervous time! But i would recomend both these models to anyone.....

az post some videos of you first flights.. this makes alot of people to think differently with walkera helis... as we all this heli flies and works as good as any other heli in the market.. just need more tinkering and fixing to make things right...

Status: offline 		This is my first Heli. The #36 does appear well made. The radio seems to respond well and I have not had any real issues yet. I did have to do some setup on it. The main issue I had was the tail rotor. The heli spun to the left no matter how much the trim was adjusted. Took out the set scews on the tail rotor assembly and slid the mechnism out a bit and then moved the servo a little to center the rotor assembly. Worked great after that. It was the first time I have worked on a heli but it was a pretty simple process.
All the fittings were tight and I really havn't done anything else. I have only had it a short time. Time will tell if I don't spin it into the ground too soon. Bought it for $91 New. The latest version. That price is hard to beat.
