http://www.heliguy.com/Forum/ftopic391.php I bought it from ** - I asked Joel if he could stock the parts, but he couldn't get hold of them. |

| Cool, glad you got it sorted.
Both motors on mine (main and tail) were jammed right against the cogs when I got it - loosening them off made it much better. The little tail motors don't last lon ... |

| The tail motor won't be pulling much current at all - I'd guess at less than 2 amps.
You need a gyro, unless you're an absolute expert. A cruddy cheap gyro will be infinitely better than none at al ... |

| Last time I put mine into idle-up mode was when I tried to do a loop.
One spectacular crash later, and I'm not touching that switch again for a while |

| Which batteries are you worried about? The helicopter one, or the transmitter ones?
The DF4 can pick up speed frighteningly quickly, but as you say, you'll be trying to avoid that to start with. |

They do - it's called a T-Rex, and costs a bloody great big pile of money. |

There are two little screws on the orange 4-in-1 receiver box. One of these is marked "proportion", the other is "gain". Turning the proportion screw clockwise means the tail rotor will spi ... |

| It'll drift left a bit on takeoff, that's normal. Just make sure it's balanced, and set the trims so it only drifts left a little bit when it gets light on its skids as you throttle up. | |

| To change the pitch, adjust them both the same way.
To do the tracking, adjust them in opposite directions. |
