RE: GWS Mini DRAGONFLY
I notice u have ball link across the top of the main blades,
is this to stiffing the head? Also due u need the wheel colers
on the fly bar?I have been flying mine with no collers at all.
I have the 2 cell lipoly , just have to get it out of my GWS zero.
This is my first micro heli thanks for the info[&:]

So far the head stiffner ain't shown me nothin'. The flybar weights help slow down the
control response (compaired to what, I don't know). Not moving them to find out.
They came on the heli, they belong. I might move them inward one day, just
after I move the control rods back out to the end hole on the servo arms.

RE: GWS Mini DRAGONFLY
Try Like90 wooden blades. Higher headspeed, more stable and sounds good too!
If you are using stock blades, most of the flex is right next to the attachment hole, not in the head itself.
Aparently a small piece of CF bracing glued to the underside of the blade can make a big difference if stock blades are your only option.
edp50 DD tail motor with 4030 prop (the bigger curvy one, not the square tiny ones that buzz)
Try like90.com.

RE: GWS Mini DRAGONFLY
Ball-in-swash is another must have. This gives you much less slack in the swashplate for more precision. When you install the ball you will also need a shaft collar.
I did the CF head stiffener, wood L90 blades, ball-in-swash/shaft collar, DD tail/GWS1000 ESC, himax 4100/CC10 ESC. (Alas I got a Telebee 400 gyro instead of a gy240, tail is still hunting). This arrangement gives me more then 20 minutes loungeroom hover time, which is almost more than the brain can stand! No repairs necessary so far.
