I am just starting to learn about RC Helicopters. I bought a Dragonfly
RC from an online store. They seem to be extremely bad with support.
Sent me wrong manuals and a broken ready to fly Helicopter and haven't
responded to any of my emails or phone calls.

Having said that, I found some help from various sites and managed to
get the main and tail motors to work. I have a fully charged battery
and I am not able get the Helicopter to lift off the ground. ( forget
about crashing it )and on full Throttle, the helicopter is spinning on
the ground itself. So I am assuming something is wrong with the tail
motor.

But I don't understand why I am not able to get a full thrust to lift
off?

Am I missing some basics or should I try changing the wings or
adjusting the gain etc.

Any pointer would be of great help.

Thanks
Raja

Most likely you have the tail motor pluggen into where the main motor
shoud go and the main motor where the tail motor shoud go. Switch
those two and I bet she will lift off

Well that easy to test move both sticks up and down. if the main rotor
start spinning the connection is good.
if the tail starts spinning switch main and tail connection.

try google en search on trimming heli....
