Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / April 2005Newbie
I've just bought a Walkera 4ch Dragonfly as my first ever RC anything. It came with a training kit and simulator but (a) the sim doesn't respond to my transmitter - (faulty cable?) so I can't learn to fly on the sim and (b) how the hell do you attach the training landing gear? It has 4 clips that look as if they're meant to clip onto the skids but they're at right angles to the skids whereas the training support thingos are at 45 degrees. I need to get this attached so that I don't keep tipping the thing on its side. Also as I said I've not had any radio controlled model before and I'm confused about two toggle switches and a push button switch on the Walkera transmitter. They don't seem to do anything. What are they for? Having great difficulty getting the thing "trimmed" too. I can't stop it tipping on its side with the lever in the neutral position no matter how much I trim it. I'll get there in the end. Ken G.

Sorry, no idea there - I've never used training gear (bad idea though). > Also as I said I've not had any radio controlled model before and I'm > confused about two toggle switches and a push button switch on the > Walkera transmitter. They don't seem to do anything. What are they for? They have no function and are AFAIK not even connected. > Having great difficulty getting the thing "trimmed" too.

If you mean that the heli tends to lean to the left on takeoff: that's normal. Once you're off the ground it should level. Fair warning there... as long as you are still in ground effect (say, lower than 2 or 3 feet above ground) you'll find the heli hard to control as the rotor backlash will try and tip it any which way.

Would you mind posting how you got it to work...? I'm sure it'd be helpful to a lot of people. :) J http://www.hobbyjapan2000.com/HJhelpInfo.html training gear setup http://www.hobbyjapan2000.com/SimulatorSetting.html PPjoy setup >>> Hi Ken >>> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > J I would imagine you have the same kit I purchased with the Truflite 3D simulator... To get the Tx and cable to work, you have to take the crystal from the back of the Tx.. Plug the cable into the pc and tx, load the program and wella... she works!! You will find, for some reason.. you mite have to go into the program twice for it too work! cheers, jad > I've just bought a Walkera 4ch Dragonfly as my first ever RC anything. > It came with a training kit and simulator but (a) the sim doesn't [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Ken G. The Walkera 4 I bought didn't come with the simulator software CD. Is there someplace I can download it from? Walkera's web site, when it works at all, is no help. > The Walkera 4 I bought didn't come with the simulator software CD. Is > there someplace I can download it from?
