[dessoman]

everytime I TRY TO PUT THIS IN THE AIR TO TRY HOVERING IT GOES INTO A VIOLENT WOBBLE AND i have to get on the ground as fast as I can (indoors)help

[chappers]

sounds like the head speed is too slow? try newly charged batteries (is the battery ok?) or take some pitch off the blades

hi there,
i had a dragonfly artf out of the box ,
new to the hobby tried and tried to fly it,kept spinning out of control,bought all new electrics to replace mixer board and speed controller bought a new gyro still no joy after costing a fortune for bits from all over the planet i decided i was not going to spend anymore money on it so i bought a gas heli,i still have most of the bits and pieces in my cupboard,i think a fixed pitch heli is more of a challenge to a newbie than a gas one.
regards

couldnt agree more mackem, but because the cost is low peoplr are still going to buy them, fail, put them in the cupboard and give up

These guys are spot on small leki micros are a lot harder to fly than there bigger brothers but like chappers said there a lot cheaper so more attractive to the wallet
on the wobble point my twister had this out of the box and i found the mains were way out of balance and also found the blade grips were way to tight

By way of wobbles the first thing I had to do with mine was change the main shaft (the stock one was bent) fitted a Hummingbird shaft and all has been fine ever since (check my gallery and you will see it in a stable hover), Also check that the blades are inline (I know they should straighten themselves out but because of the way the head is on these helis they don't all the time) Next check the paddles are in line with the swash plate and each other (the heli is so lite even a fraction makes a big difference). They are difficult to fly but no one ever said it was gonna be easy. Time and trouble. but after 6 months the trainning gear came off, and now its side ways on hovering and getting to forward flight and pirouettes as well (but I have just crashed it and busted the battery holder) they do fly but they are harder to fly than a 30!!!
