Help with dragonfly 36 7 channel transmitter PLEASE!

[jsweet]

Well I got my 36 today With the 7 channel transmitter. After charging it up I tried to put the Battery in place but it was a very very tight squeeze. So I took it out and tried to check the collective pitch adjustment. I guess it was ok. Well i tried to fly it, I put the throttle up with the trigger and it had alot of power then tried to tilt it upward and it leaned to the side and the blades hit the floor cracking them a bit. Also it just stood on the floor and spun around counterclockwise. Afterwards I held it up and let it rip while holding it in my hands above my head and I felt alot of force coming down instead of going up but then when I hit the rudder stick to the left it then felt like it was lifting up. So I took it back in and tried to take the battery off the connector and it wont budge..I even tried pulling it off with my teeth, i was thinking it got really hot and kinda melted? But i dont see and signs of melting...Also The Lipo Battery was rubbing up against the motor and rubbed off some off the protective covering around the battery. Anyone have any suggestions please?!?!

The best thing you can do is read this:

from first to last page. It will answer most if not all of your questions. Setup on these beasts is very important and you'll never get in the air or have any fun 'till you learn at least the basics. I tried to do it all on my own without reading and researching and had no luck and spent alot of money in parts.

Good Grief - do you relize the blade tips are doing 200 MPH

First put on a set of training gear - the tipping was caused by ground effect with the clockwise motion of the main blade and counter clockwise movement of the tail rotor the heli tries to drift left - that is normal - if you are not putting in some right cyclic stick to compensate then it will tip left - if you had training gear on then it will slide left.

When you throttle (slowly) up to 50% watch the rotor disk you will see it starting to lean left apply a small amount of right on the cyclic stick until it becomes horizontal once more then apply just a small amount of throttle so it becomes very light on the skids and starts to lift - try to hold it there and not allow it to drift.

Once you can do that then move it around like an hover craft - its difficult because you are in the downwash of the main rotor - but once you can move and return it at will you have picked up some understanding of the cyclic control required.

If You try to lift of and fly without mastering the basics of cyclic control you WILL crash.

However saying that once you have learnt cyclic control you will crash - just you will take longer getting around to it we all do

Hope this helps......David
