Dragonus II N-PLUS Vs Walkera Dragonfly 60 (Or maybe other)

[albahri65]

Dear heli's world,

I’m new in the heli’s world, and I really want to get into it!!

I've been searching the net for the heli that I can start with, and finally I got these two options:

1- Dragonus II N-PLUS
2- Walkera Dragonfly 60

I need your help to finalaiz my selection ;)

Also, I will be very happy if you advice me to something else, but not in less level as what we have here

Warm Regards to all

Hey,

Well having a Dragonus makes me a little biased I suppose, but it is a great little machine with nicely priced spares to. It also looks a little different to the others on the market and so stands out a little more.

do u advice me to go ahead?

Do not know about the Dragonus, but suspect it is a much better helicopter than the Walkera 60.
I own a Walkera 60 it is upgraded with metal head, tail rotor, brushless motor, carbon blades and paddles. I fly it useing JR Radio gear. I love it to bits, it is cheap and cheerful and flys well.
However it very difficult to fly with the supplied radio gear and very marginal on power with the brushed motor. So making it into a `nice' flyable helicopter costs quite a bit.
So as long as you realise that buying it RTF out of the box with Walkera Radio gear it is going to be a dog and very dissapointing then the choice is yours

Hey,

You wont be dissappointed with the Dragonus thats for sure.

As has been said in another topic with the word Walkera mentioned, it does seem while they are ok they are not great and require work to fly well.
The Dragonus, once setup will fly well from the start. You have to buy the equipment to fit in it and so can choose wisely.

Dragonus all the way!

I am doing a build vid for the Plus right now for Hobby-lobby so stay tuned. There are some differences in the previous dragonus I built.

Hey,

The entry level SA version is very good, all plastic components etc.

For cost effectiveness the Elite, with SSG not Carbon frames & all metal head & tail gearbox is the best one to go for.
This is the model I have and it certainly flies very well.

All parts are interchangable and so you could start off with the lesser model & upgrade as & when money allows.

I have both the Dragonus II 450 ELITE CNC/SSG Kit from Hover Hobbies and the Dragonus II N-PLUS from Hobby-Lobby and they are set up identically. They fly exactly the same. Just go for the plastic one from either place. I believe that this is the best flying heli in its class. You won't regret it.
