hi guys,
sorry if the answers to the below are elsewhere on these pages...
i am just awaiting delivery of a feda dragonfly (damned good value on ebay by the by £179.99 for everything) and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. just a couple of questions?
1) is it fairly easy to set up and trim with no experience - i do appreciate i'm going to have to be very patient and expect a few crashes?
2) is it similar to the skylark - the reason i ask is that i've seen an upgrade to the skylark coming soon for collective pitch (similar vein i believe i've read that the hummingbird is the same as the drangonfly). is cp worth getting sooner or later?
3) finally i'll be looking to upgrade the radio fairly soon - i just want to wait until i can fly a bit - is the futaba ff6 a good choice or any other suggestions - bearing in mind i plan to look at flying glow heli's etc in the future.
thanks for all your help. no doubt i'll have many more questions when the things arrives. can't wait...
best regards
danny

FF6 is NOT a good choice if you see a collective pitch helicopter in your future. The Hitec Eclipse and the RD6000 have much better heli support for a similar kind of price.

You can pick up a skylark and upgrade that just as easy as upgrading the Piccolo the Skylark is very similar to the Piccolo and uses the a copied version of the piccoboard. If you want to go collective with a micro heli I would go with the Skylark for value and the ease of replacing your parts with Piccolo parts also there is a large market for Piccolo parts out here and you can find some good deals on upgrades and parts! Good luck!
