Im a newbie please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've had my dragonfly 2 days now, it's my first rc helicopter. And yes I crashed it and broke one of the blades. I have replaced the blade and the helicopter wobbles when i turn the throttle on. The blades are the same tightness, and there are no other broken parts that i can see. Any ideas?[

I am not really familiar with the dragonfly, but if it is anything like the Hornet, the first thing I would check is to see if you bent the main shaft. This is the most likely culprit. The next thing I would check is to see if the blades are balanced. Since it is a new blade, it probably is not matched with the other one and could be lighter/heavier causing an imbalance. Both of these will make your heli look like it's going to self destruct when you run it up.

Like Flaps2012 said to check if the main shaft bend, if not make sure that the blades are of the same weight and finally you have to track the blade i.e. put 2 different color tapes at the blade tips and run the heli at the almost lift off point then sit down and look at the 2 color tapes and see if they are on the same plane, if not adjust the link one at a time until they line up.
