Dragon fly 6ch models...

Hi
does anyone know if these 6 channel helis are any good?

look okay and good for the money I was going to go T-Rex but
this looks the same model almost at least the same size!

I will be needing an indoor heli very very soon.

There's been a lot of discussion on these helicopters and opinion is very varied, some wouldn't touch them with a bargepole whereas others swear by them.

I think most people would agree on the following:

• The supplied electronics are very variable in quality and you're lucky to get a full set that work out of the box. Chattering servos, dodgy gyro, RX cut-outs and overheating ESC (brushed ESC is built into the RX)
• They are put together by drunk Chinese monkeys so need a lot of setup out of the box to get it into a flyable state.
• If you get one with a Li-po battery do not use the supplied charger whether it says it's suitable or not. Get a proper charger.
• Brushless is the way to go, either the Walkera one or Align.
• They're cheap so if you don't mind playing around with it, and fixing/replacing the things which will inevitably break they're good value.

All this said, I've had a good experience with mine so far. I got a #36 with Li-po and brushless motor. I ditched the charger and bought a Pro-peak Quattro. The other electronics have been fine up until now. I was lucky enough to get mine at an excellent price (60% of list) so I think I've had good value.

that seller is ok as well, my dragonfly 4ch came from the same place.
Only thing is the transmitters are not up to much but im guessing you wont be using the stock one any how .

I have read alot of people saying how bad the walkera electronics are. I think a trex and you specify your electronics yourself would be a much better choice
