I havea Dragonfly36- When I push the stick on the Left hand side of the radio forward the Main Rotors blades move faster as I give it more Throttle the when I just get over halfway center throttle as I give it more throttle just about to get it off the ground the blades turn slower and the full throttle almost stops the rotating of the main baldes. I don't know why. I'm trying to fig out but doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone help me out I have been at this trying to Hoover for a while now.Are my Dipo setting set proper on the back of the radio or my switches on the Front of the Radio in wrong Place. I have the top righthand switch on Normal post

Not familiar with Dragonfly but is your battery charged fully? A low volt cutoff will do what you described. No control setting I know of will do that unless your pitch curve is programmed incorrectly...what radio are you using?

Yes The battery is full charged the radio is the regular one that came with the Helicoptor. The radio had 10 white buttons on the back of it. maybe I have someting in the wrong area. On or Off. Also Maybe ther PLT & PIT Dials are in the wrong place. I'm new at this. When I give it throttle the blades turn very fast and as I give full throttle they slow down and don't give any lift.
I have a 3200 Brushless motor and a 3S 2100MAH 11.1 Volt battery.

ok i have owned a walkera !! and here is what you need to do ! pick it up walk to trash can and drop it in ! not being mean they are junk !!!! if you want a less exencive heli than a trex or mx400 go get blade cp pro !! my dad has one they fly much better than walkera any day !! plus most likely you will have better local parts support!

and if ya realy wanna take a step in the right direction get something like the trex or mx400 a bit more money but allot better heli !

oh and if you insist on keeping the walkera ! go thrue the head and trim it our make sure it is all correct and the main problem is the plt pit knobs most peaple here have no clue what the heck they are for and think your talking greek when you talk about them lol
well have fun !!!

Don't know about the 36 but am quite happy with my upgraded 60, Have changed the Radio as the standard gear is not up to much, but hey it is a cheap and cheerful way to try out model heli's
Really don't think the trash can is the way to go though!
My daughters partner has a standard 60, that took a bit of setting up, the pitch was way too high for the motor, strained the motor, it heated up and the blades slowed down. Maybe try lowering the maximum pitch on the trims and upping the throttle setting around mid stick

Quickly looked up the Shogun V2, it looks more like the Walkera 36, The 60 uses a metal mainframe. My 60 has the metal swash and rotor head, metal tail gear, programmable ESC, Brushless motor, Carbon boom, Main and Tail Blades and paddles. I fly it on a JR 9X vII (9303, over there I believe) so I think it has been taken as far as I can Bling wise and as stated previously it flies fine. I originaly bought it on a whim, because it was cheap, I would not have bought a T-Rex 450 on a whim, I am now building a T-Rex600 and would not have bought that had I not been so impressed by the Walkera and how far Electrics have come on
