Hello friends first time posting here, look forwardto a lot of discussion with you guys. I just purchased the above mentioned helicopter, which I haven't received yet. But I bought this one because its all I could afford at this time and I thought maybe this could be a starting point to get into this hobby and aquire a little training. Hopefully I havent made a hugh mistake by purchasing this critter, I have always wanted to get into this hobby but never had the time or money.

My question to you guys is what should I look for when this heli comes in, I am totally in the dark completely on this. What are any adjustments I need to make, are there any pointers before I fly that will save me grief. What other items might I need to buy that would make this new hobby easier. I am really excited and looking forward to flying it.

If I am asking too many questions or asking all the wrong ones please steer me in the right direction. Also if there is any reading I might can do that would give me a jump start please give me some links. I would also like to learn the terminology of the different parts of a helicopter so when folks give me advice I will be on same page as they are.

I am a fast learner so maybe I will pickup on this fairly quick, thanks you guys for any help you may offer.

What upgrades are available for this heli, what kind of blades are best?

if you go into the electric heli section at the top is a walkera topic. they have a thread in there about the 22e. you can probably get a lot of answers there .

I am saving money for the next heli but that will be a while off. let me know what you get and how you like it. You can IM me with Yahoo mdaddyrabbit2 is my ID

Sounds good. Did you pick the 22e because of price?

mdaddyrabbit

Yes price was the major contibuting factor, and the 6 channel.

Hi,

I bought a Dragonfly 22E last week. My advice is to use a training gear the first few flights. I own a Hirobo ZXX nitro heli and a Dragonfy 4. I noticed that the swash-plate from the 22E was tilting to the back a lot when I switched the heli on.
So I had to use the Trim to level the swash-plate.
I'am having problems with the pitch and throttle adjust buttons, I do not notice any difference in throttle or pitch behaviour when turning these knobs. Does anyone have some tips for me?

Thanks.

After reading some more posts I found out that switch 8 on my transmitter was switched on (default)
Now the PLT and PIT switches are working!

Regards,

Ruben

Hi guy's, i am a new flier and debating on getting the 22e new version or other one.
The new one has tinted plastic and the other one is just normal plastic.
What one does every one suggest + were to get it.
Oh ya and also i live at 8500ft above sea level do you guy's think this will affect my flight.

thanx
