Hi Titan,
I don't believe this is in the correct forum. This forum is for products by Draganfly (note the spelling). You can see their products at www.rctoys.com

I bought one as well, without any research. That was a prob. Most everything in the box didn't work. As I fixed things, it soon became obvious the electronics were also malfunctioning. If it did fly,I'd point out,it only goes up, down, L & R, no forward or back. My advice, " toss it and look into a better r/c.

In the same size range, I've found the Havoc a much better mini than most. It's fun to play with and will stay in the air for 10 mins. or so. Look at it here http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/91d2/ . In the larger sizes, price is a big issue and how much you might want to spend. For 100 bucks, this is a really good deal. Take a look at: http://www.xheli.com/?OVRAW=Control%...WID=9647019512 . Let me know what you end up with.... lykos

I would suggest the E-flite heli's ( http://www.playthings-etc.com/cgi-bi...T&keywords=all ) . They are quite reliable, and are designed to drop hard without significant damage (as long as you don't leave the throttle wide open). Unlike the Dragonfly (and many other "throw-away" R/C products being sold in mass retailers), parts are not only easier to come by, but are worth buying as these are actually worth fixing. They come with everything you need to fly, including all batteries and charger (extra batteries are only around $11-12!). E-flite choppers also feature digital transmitters/receivers, which makes interference a thing of the past. Anyway, these are a best-seller at our store (we-ve had other brands in the past that have since been kicked to the curb for the reasons people have indicated in this thread), and we'll continue to deal with E-flite. They also offer high-end stunt heli's with more power for experienced pilots. Good luck finding the right one.
