walkera dragonfly 22d question

[mustbfst]

has anyone heard/know anything about the walkera dragonfly22d I currently own a belt cp and want a fixed pitch heli but a dont want motor driven tail I heard that they are a pain in a** so I want a belt driven one but the 22d is the closest I have been able to find it is gear driven. is it pos or worth the money? :dontknow

INMHO A badly made and designed driven tail can be more trouble than a motor driven tail(more than likely anything walkera),whilst a pitch changable tail will give ultimately more control than a motorised non pitch one, having a fixed pitch main blade arrangement isnt exactly going to match the performance benefits either,i do fly a modified fixed pitch with motorised tail and being highly modifed to reap the maximum benefit from the arrangement it will always be a fixed pitch chopper and good for the fun it creates,they are not any easier to fly than a cp chopper either in my opinion, infact i reckon a fixed pitch chopper even though simpler to set up is not as easy to fly as a well set up c/p chopper,flying a fixed pitch is like flying a cp but only after having 6-8 standard sized beers.

22D is not good helicopter. Your Belt CP is much better than the 22d

[JasonJ]

If you are running a belt cp, why bother with a fixed pitch? If you are learning, invest that money in a good sim instead and just keep flying the belt. FP helicopters fly a little different than a cp helicopter, and they are not really much easier, so why bother. And you really do not want to get a Walkera unless you love dealing with crap electronics.
