Walkera Dragonfly 04 RC Helicopter, Vastly Improved Flying

I've vastly improved the flight of my Dragonfly! Modifying the throttle to remove the click-stops, and changing how I hold the stick made an instant improvement in my hovering; and, I now have much finer control of thrust and elevation.

Well I am not so sure how good is moding it like that as you can accidentally crash it much easier... but I find that it is annoying to have the clicking with a fixed pitch heli... You are really brave flying it in such a small space... :)

I find it much easier to adjust my hover without the click. While it's now a little easier to "droop" the throttle while applying right rudder, I like it better this way.

I feel reasonably comfortable flying in a small space now... The room is about 6' x 6'.

[djjelly24]

Fair enough :) I might try it as long as I can put it back

[toybuilder]

It is just a small screw that you loosen and then move the spring arm. It can easily be put back into place. You can also slightly adjust the arm to increase/decrease the click tension if you want to.

hey, nice one. its so simple that i never thought of the neckholder. but its clear that it must be much better. i bet this will improve my little flights much better.

(it seems you can use a potbelly-stand, too =) *kidding*

I totally agree with you, my DF 04 used to shake alot and the landing skid let loose sometimes and after I installed the super skids it fly's extremely stable.

Mode 2.

[snifferfox]

Is it easy to fly.

[toybuilder]

I don't know the mode #.

The rudder, throttle is on the left.

Pitch/Roll is on the right.

i meant MODE for the controller...sorry for the speliing (IE b=mode) I just meeant "mode

[homersparents]

I would like to know what mode you fly in 1,2,3,4

i set up my FSM the way i thought it would be best...learned to lfy pretty nice too. then i found out my settings where just like mode 4. not used much in USA...so what is the best b=mode for helies

[fowse]

what did you change on the controller?

[Computergaz]

You will find the DF4 will fly much better with SuperSkids / Extreme Skids applied. The hovering ability is just so much better, and no need to modify the controllers.

I got one of these choppers. Forget modding the TX lol  get a lipo battery and extreme skids and cabon fibre blades! coooool
