Default Dragonfly 22a

Hi all,
Got Dragonfly 22a from r/c expert. Powers up ok and all servos seem to function, but at full throttle won't lift off ground. Any ideas? Am thinking of sending it back for replacement.
Thanks,
Knotty

What are you using for a charger? Sounds like your battery is not fully charged. If your using the wall charger that come with it, you should get yourself a good peak charger, the wall chargers aren't much good. Hobbico makes a good one, and it's cheap to buy.

Try adjusting the small paddles on the main rotor (I am new to this too, so sorry if I am not using the correct terms). I ran into a wall with mine and the angle of one of the paddles was increased. After playing around and adjusting the paddles I found that the lift was better then I first got it. According to a tread in somewhere in this forum, they say the angle should be about 15 degrees. Mine is almost at 0 degrees.
Hope this helps you out.
