just bought the Dragonfly 2 helicopter with mixing board after hearing alot of good things about it? How easy is it really to fly? how frail is it? any experiences Id love to hear em! also since the heli is 4 channel.. can you use the R4n instead of the 6n? havent flown heli except on sim.. advanced fixed wing pilot.. how will I set it up? Any info on setting up would be nice..
thanks in advance

Regarding how easy it's to fly...well helis are in general a hazle to learn, but practise and PATIENT (and a credittcard) helps alot.

As for the transmitter, i cant tell You, have tried to use my graupner MC-12 with no luck, so i use the one that came in the package.. works great..
recomend to open it and tread a piese of fueltubing on the "thingy" that makes all the different possisons on the throttle stick (this is where my bad english comes into play), this makes the stick more smooth. Also the org. setting have a tendency to make the chopper either stay on the ground or fly "trough the roof"

Check the tracking of the blades first... Tape a small (light in colour) piece of tape on the tip of one blade,
hold the chopper and throttle up. try to see what blades is higher...
Correct with bending the lowest blade up (a little, careful not to break main rotor/blades)

Check the lenght of the flybar , so they are equal in lenght on each side..

Check the angel ot the padles. I never use any gauges or s*** , just put it on the table and look straight into the side of the chopper
adjust by loosening the screw, or if the angel is just slightly of just twist it without unscrewing ... (carefull not to break the flybar..)
The angel should be 0 deg. or a little on the positive side at the trailing edge (i find the lift to be a little better with positive pitch on the trailing edge

For some tips on learning...hehe.. maby its not the right thing to listen to me, but anyways, these are MY experiences
