[quote]ORIGINAL: sh_mac Hi all, Does anyone know where I can buy 10 teeth pinions for the Walkera 180L (wk-ws-20-001) 2.3mm shaft?? I am in Australia so somewhere close would be handy....but really I will be happy to order from anywhere! [/quote] Hi there sh_mac, The best place in Aus in my opinion is www.wattsuprc.com.au and they have the 2.3mm pinions you are after -cheap as chips! [link=http://wattsuprc.com.au/product_detail.asp?pid=HZ020]LINK TO PINIONS[/link] Their service is 2nd to none. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer of theirs. [b]Oops, didn't see your second post about the pinion size...[/b]

[quote]How long does it take to charge the average battery with the Swallow?[/quote] Well most people say to charge a lipo at 1C so I set the Swallow at 2200ma for my 2200mah battery and it takes about 40mins to charge after hovering for abot 8 minutes or so. That takes about 900-1100ma out of the battery but I'm still erring on the side of caution with these things. Run it too flat and its straight to the bin, overcharge and BANG!

RE: Quark 33A ESC and Align 430L motor
I replied to your PM about the Quark but if anyone else is looking for help their first stop should be here: http://www.sky-technology.net/ and watch the setup video about 10 times. Then the manual will make more sense. There should be no problem using the walkera radio if thats all you have ATM, if the receiver can control any servos then it can control any ESC. Just keep saving for that JR 2610 [:D] and don't hover too far away or too high until then [:)]

RE: Walkera Dragonfly #36
ArjanH- What exactly is your setup? motor/blades/radio etc. Did it spool up and hover for a few seconds or was it as soon as it lifted? Might be a too low head speed. Also check the balance of your blades and eliminate any slop in the head linkages.

RE: Walkera Dragonfly #36
Roderdee if you think the #36 is flying great, wait till you see and fly your finished Trex. I've read some people say 'they are made of the same plastic, same build quality' etc but really when you get your trex flying its so much more stable in the air and there is next to no slop in the swash/linkages compared to a 'fixed up' #36. I think you have made a good choice there. Post or PM a pic when its made up [:D] Here's one of mine: [image]http://image.rcuniverse.com/gallery/photos/216659/lg-56794.jpg[/image] Kind of regret selling off the #36, it would have looked nice sitting next to the Trex on the filing cabinet.

Transaction went pretty smoothly, responded quickly to my email queries. Although I did write a honest review in his reviews section describing the things that were misleading(like the RTF claims) and poor quality of the manual, electrics etc and about 2 months later he DELETED IT! leaving only his fake self-written reviews. I see he does barebone kits now, that are nearly half the price of a Trex kit. Strange that the #36 spare parts are at least double the price of Align parts though. Wouldn't take a newbie pilot long to repair enough crashes to make the Trex actually cheaper to learn with...

Try http://www.pldaniels.com/rcshop/frame.php?page=products&catagory=servos he has a good range of GWS bits and pieces and is in Queensland Aust. They were recommended to me by a friend when one of my Walkera servos died for no apparent reason and are suitable for the Walkera radio gear(I also had a HS-55 on the tail of my #36 and it seemed fine with the same radio). The BB naro servo's are suitable for use on a Trex too, if you choose to upgrade in the future.

RE: Walkera Dragonfly #36
ArjanH- 'Norm' is the one you want also, the others are for different types of CCPM swash's. If you use one of the other types you risk damaging servos or ball joints as the radio will try and move the swash up and down to change pitch of the main blades and the #36 dosent work lke that. EDIT: Just double checked the manual for your radio: The Swashplate options are: -1 Servo: Non-CCPM, standard mixing type helicopter. -2 Servo/180° CCPM -3 Servo/120° CCPM (JR style, most popular) -3 Servo/90° CCPM For the #36 use '1' Regarding the shakes check that your blades are showing the same angle at full pitch(remember to disconnect the motor 1st [:)] ). What blades are you using?

RE: Walkera Dragonfly #36
Culver- My #36 has been decomissioned now, parted out and sold(well the last bits are on hold for a guy). Yes the zoom gyro did seem to work well on the #36 but the weird thing is now that it's on my Trex it will start to drift about 3 minutes into a pack of hovering. Increasing gain will make it wag like mad. Disconnect the battery and reconnect it and it will behave itself for another 3 minutes or so. As soon as a local store gets some 401/9650 combos in stock my Zoom will be up for sale. I do still have the Zoom gyro mounted on the top of the Trex though.... I'll change that when the 401 gets taped on, Thanks. [:D]

RE: Walkera Dragonfly #36
[quote]I was having a lot of drift with the original Walkera Gyro 001 so I got a zoom 400 gyro. The tail moves in the correct direction with the stick but it is not controlling the yaw at all. It is like the stick is directly to the servo. Any suggestions[/quote] Also check how you have the gyro orientated. The instructions that come with some of those gyro's are incorect. If you have it laying with the sticker/gain pot facing up change it so the gyro is standing up with its label at the side. You can mount it with the label facing the back or front also.

RE: Walkera Dragonfly #36
Hey Larryk9, i like your Trex vids. I'm in about the same boat as you i reckon. Started with a #36 started upgrading- realized the mistake and bought a trex. I daydream about getting the #36 up and running like a Trex to stir up the Align zealots but its a while off yet- if possible at all. The 2 are like night and day. I maidened my CDE trex the other day and it hovered hands of for about 4 secs with only 2 clicks of trim and a little fiddle with the Align gryo. My #36 is nowhere near that, its just too sloppy in the head and poorly engineered. After playing a bit with the trex hopefully I can use some of the knowledge gained to help the #36.

RE: Choosing replacement servos
I got a set of 3 GWS BB naro's for my #36 when a couple of the stock Walkera ones died randomly on me. They are great for the #36, fairly cheap and and good enough that I can use them for my Trex CCPM setup now that the #36 is shelved. Don't buy the cheapest rubbish you can get, you will learn to buy the quality gear with these heli's. ATM I have a HS-55 on the tail but I dont realy think its up to the job, it is working... just. It was just a servo i had handy at the time.

RE: Walkera Dragonfly #36
Hi Stevo, Unfortunatly there is no cheap way into this hobby. If you try to get in cheap you will probably find you will be upgrading bits anyway because cheap stuff dosen't just not work well it dosen't work at all! I was at the exact same point as you are about 6 months ago and bought a #36 -BIG mistake for me. If I had done it right in the first place I would have actually saved money. But you live and learn... [quote]If I practice, practice, practice on a SIM and then try the heli gently with the training gear on, what are the chances of breaking something major in the learning stage, apart from blades? [/quote] The chances are great -in nearly every minor crash you will damage blades, the main shaft is soft as butter(even the steel Shogun one) and it will bend and if you're unlucky maybe a boom and feathering shaft. A good sim is a great move too, sure to save you money in parts. A mate of mine bought G3 a couple months before buying any heli and he has advanced really quickly without many crashes at all. [quote]I've heard the stock battery is no good. If I go for Lipo, can I still use the stock motor?[/quote] The stock motor on a lipo will get you hovering and barey moving around, you will have to buy a brushless one anyway as the brushed one won't last very long. In Australia parts for the Trex are 1/2 to 1/4 the price of Walkera parts, so it wont take long for the #36 to be costing you more than a Trex anyway. The Trex is a bit bigger and much higher quality with bearings and not just bushes at pivot points. There is a hell of a lot more experienced support for Trex as well. Personally I would recommend you head to www.wattsuprc.com.au and grab a trex CDE with brushless/ESC combo, a gyro and batteries for ~$600AUD and then grab a quality 6+ channel radio and servos(you will have to buy another one anyway when you want to upgrade models) for about another $500 and you will have a bird that will serve you well. Beware of the videos especially the mad 3D trex vids -they made me think that learning to fly these things is easy! It takes heaps of cash and heaps of practice(real stick time and sim time) to fly these little fellows, but its worth it [:)] If you really still want to cause yourself pain, try www.rchobby.com.au for a #36 delivered locally.

[quote]i think everyone should quit buying these cheap *ss batteries. it's like asking for trouble. just buy a name brand battery and charger and be done with it. they cost a little more but when you think of the cost versus time and money already in the heli and less potential of accidents/damage it just makes more sense to me. [/quote] You're so right ewr101, This walkera heli has totaly changed the way I shop for stuff now. I bought a #36 in the 1st place because it was the cheapest now I've learned through reading this forum that its not worth being a tight arse becuase with these things the cheapo add-ons just dosent work or are plain dangerous. Cheap brushless motors/ESC - get hot and burn out frequently Cheap gyros - frustrating to set up and don't work as well Cheap Lipo batteries/charger - are great if you want to rebuild your house after it burns down when a cheap charger overcharges your cheap lipo and turns it into a fireball.
