Hi all!
I got here for the very first time, I am very new at this, more than new I don't even have my heli with me yet, it's arriving just today. - It is a Walkera Dragonfly 22E 3D. I know it's not "inexpensive" and I might be off topic here, but please forgive me, I need some advice and talk about all this.

I had bought an inexpensive Dragonfly 2-channel heli. I finally got it yesterday, and when I tried to hover the thing went crazy spinning on its own axis, I managed to take off and the thing went far away real fast but without any control whatsoever. I couldn't go left, right, nothing it seems to have its own mind and do whatever it wants to! - What a piece of junk indeed. So, so far I haven't been able to have any fun, you can say that.

They say in the manual to adjust the pot on the receiver board, which I did, but that seems to have done nothing or very little. - What's more since I'm an Electronics tech, I opened the transmitter, and found that thing doesn't have potentiometers on the sticks but just switches, which I don't think that's right, they should be potentiometers for a smooth change. - Another thing I found too late, that you should stay away from 2-channel helis. Indeed I don't think anyone could learn how to hover (fly) with this thing, it is nearly impossible if not very extremely difficult to have any fun with it.

I think what I got is a rude copy of what seemed to have been a Syma Dragonfly, but it is not. This thing doesn't have a brand name on the manual, neither a year, date, nothing. All it says on the heli on a sticker on each side is "Fly Dragonfly 2005" and that's it.

The remote controller doesn't even have those trim adjustments I see on other contollers. So I guess that alone makes it simple to understand that this specific one more than a toy is a piece of crap...hehehe!

Well, enough said. I am glad I ordered the Walkera Dragonfly 22E 3D heli and I can't wait to have it today. - Later on I will post here asking for help to set it up, since I have read somewhere you need to adjust the blades and other things, which I am totally ignorant (or almost because I have read alot of things already all over the web) about so it's always wise to ask those "experts" out there before I go crazy and fly it right away.

Luckly I got it with a training kit included as a bonus, and a set of extra main blades, and other things I don't remember, all for $129 including S/H.

I'll post more when I get it....
