When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates.

Compared to other electric R/C helicopters with tail motors, this Walkera DragonFly is among the easiest to learn and control. Trimming is a piece of cake on this one. If you're a beginner, however, I'd recommend the co-axial Honey Bees as I personally find them easier to learn.

A higher built quality would have been given if its landing skid were made stronger (an inherit problem of Walkera's helicopters as brought up by others). Nonetheless, it's got good controls and cheap parts (uploading soon) so you probably won't break it at all or you can easily and cheaply replace them.

Lastly, get the lithium polymer battery pack from below. The included NiMH battery is way too heavy for serious fun.

How to use?

(This information is very important and is detailed in the manual but just in case you don't want to read them, we've reworded them here.)

1. Prior to initial use, fully charge the included lithium battery. The status light LED turns green on the charger adaptor when charging is done (this should take less than 1 hour). Don't connect the battery to the helicopter yet.

2. Next, make sure your remote control is switched to OFF and install 8 AA batteries into the remote control.

3. Important: before you turn on the remote control, pull both the throttle stick and the trim switch besides the stick all the way down. If you don't do this your helicopter will begin flying the second you connect its power - this must be avoided.

4. Now, turn on the remote control and check if the battery indicator light is at least yellow. If the light is green then it'd be even better.

5. Finally, install the the lithium battery into the helicopter by sliding it the battery holders. If you have done it correctly the battery should be held firmly in place. If all looks good, connect power to the helicopter. This is done by hooking up the red male plug on the battery to the red female plug on the helicopter.

After you connect power, the servos (black control units under the blades) will re-adjust themselves and make some noise in the process. This takes less than a second and is perfectly normal. Don't worry the blades won't begin turning (provided that you've followed step 3).

At this point, all is set. Follow the detailed flying tutorials in the user's manual that's easy enough even for beginners and fortunately it is fully printed in English.
