6 channel dragonfly 35a

Just because it is listed on RCHelispot does not mean that it is good all

hi, i need help with my 35a , just bought it; ive rea.d all manuals and canot seen to set it up properly . i also need to know about simm cable and flight simm where to get that is comp with my laptop. oh one more thing , ive followed inst for removing main shaft by the 3 allen keys ,it will not move ,any advice cheers bill

I've also got a Walkera 35 6 ch heli, the heli itself is a clone of the zoom 400 which means you can interchange the spares, I advise you get yourself some spare tail rotor input gear drives as these strip their teeth a past time in my experience. I also found that the batteries mine shipped with weren't providing enough power to lift the heli off the ground but after upgrading to 1400mah LiPo's theres been no problem and this seems to help the CofG as with the std batteries the heli was very tail heavy. Also ensure that you check the servo's as mine weren't that special and I have replaced all four with HS-55's and saw a vast improvement in stability and controlability. This may seem an expense but once you have done this you will have an awesome and very capable heli and it will still have been much cheaper than you could have bought a proper zoom or equivalent for.

My next project is to convert mine to a belt driven tail rotor to stop having to replace the gears all the time!

If you do need spares or parts I highly recomend Midland helicopters,

and look at the zoom spares for the relevant parts, happy hovering!![/quote]

heh, it's not the batteries fault fully. It's the motor, it's underpowered for the job. THAT's your problem you'll want to go brushless and preferrably the align420LF with a 25A or higher ESC. I've done that on my heli as before it wouldn't lift, and now I can carry 700g with my 215mm blades. If you're in the us look for parts at grand rc. for me I always get my parts in three days, no mis shipping, or any of that junk. And I hear they have excellent coustomer service. Of course I've never used them. one more thing, the prices are the lowest I've found on parts, my align motor was only $45. good luck on these heli's!


PS: this isn't a 35a, just a 35, if you see a 35 V2 that's the 36. I suggest the 36 as it's a great heli, with the brushless motor of course.
