Does anyone knows where I can buy a new feda dragonfly board (is the one where all three components are combined) Somehow mine fried while trying to invert one of the servos.
If not possible to buy thia board, could you help me on which parts I should buy to replace them. It seems that it is possible to buy the reciver, gyro and speed contrler separetly?
Thanks for your help.

You may be better off getting separate gyro, rx, and esc/mixer. For one, should you ever what to abandon micro helis onto rc planes or perhaps larger helis, you may use the same electronics.

This is my setup. Prices below are pretty close, you may find better deals:

$30-35 The feda/gws mixer/esc for the dragonfly is about
$24 4-ch gws pico Rx (i'd get the 6-ch gws naro Rx, this is the one I got. $4 more bucks extra)
$7 channel crystal for gws Rx
$40 gws pg-03 gyro


I'm not quite sure where to find an all-in-one board...

It sounds great, do you know where I can buy them?

One more thing, will this configuration work with my Zen-Hua transmiter?

Rayan

No... As far as I know you will also need a new TX since Zhen Hua uses a proprietary modulation...

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure if the gws Rx will work with the Zhen Hua radios.
Anyone else have expereince or know some details with this radio?

As for one location to get the separates gyro, feda board and rx..

You can try either helihobby.com, ehobbies.com, and/or http://www.officeshops.com./gws/heli...nfly/index.htm.

Officeshops.com sells the feda board, and he's been reliable(I have an order pending from him. I've seen posts here that he reliable also.)
Helihobby has the gyro (never ordered from them, but I've heard mixed comments about thier service)
ehobbies (never ordered from them, but prices are competetive)

I've been doing some inquires to local shops here in Denmark, and it seems that the FEDA dragonfly with the Zhen Hua TX and the all in one board, is not compatible with anything else. Which it is a shame since it is a very nice heli ;o( Well I'll be using the FEDA as spare parts for the new GWS dragonfly I just ordered from rc-hobby. The place seems reliable (some earlier post confirm that) and prices are pretty good ;o) Actually it cost just a little more to buy the complete heli than buying the mixer, gyro, reciver and transmiter (and I'm sure it would be a headache to make them fit in the FEDA).
Well, to end I hope some will benefit from my experience and do not buy the FEDA dragonfly, but instead the GWS.
I will post on my experience with rc-hobby as soon as I get the chopper.
