I recently purchased the Walkera 22E Dragonfly. When I connect the battery,
the rotor starts turning and I think that if I didn't pull that plug fast I
might have quite a mess. Now, this is with the TX turned OFF. Why is this?
How can the heli be contrrolled by the TX when it wants ...

My first guess is you need to mechanically fine tune your tail push ro

response.
So can any of the UK people on here answer this?
Anybody know who the heli pilot was at Sandown who put on an amazing display

I am considering getting into RC elect. Helicopters and have no
experience with them. I flew RC sail planes and powered planes 20
years ago but heli's were not even on the drawing board back then.

throttle one of the pins on the phase ring pushes on the swashplate causeing
the plate to pitch .
In otherwords at full collective the swashplate is no longer level. One pin

recently purchased a T-rex450X and have it all assembled. I am having a
problem with the elevator control, oh with a eccpm conversion done when i go
through the pitch range the swash plate does not stay level, the higher the
swash moveds up the shaft the more forward cyclic it ...
