Replacing the wings
You can replace the original wings on your dragonfly if they become damaged or
you want it to have a different look. A spare set of wings is included in the FlyTech
Dragonfly package. To replace the wings, do the following:
1. Make sure the controller and the dragonfly are turned off.
2. Remove the old pair of wings. There are
two sets of wings on the dragonfly. Gently
remove the first pair of wings by first
pulling the wing rods out from the sockets.
Then, pull the wings off the hook at the end
of the body area.
Repeat for the second pair of wings. Be careful not to touch any broken edges.
3. Install the new pair as illustrated, by
reversing the instructions for removing the
damaged wings. Hook the rear part of the
first pair of wings onto the hook at the end
of the body, and then slide the wing rods
into their sockets. Repeat for the second
pair of wings.
NOTE: Test the dragonfly after installing the new wings. If the dragonfly cannot
fly in a straight line, or experiences difficulty when airborne, try swapping the
new left and right wings.
Replacing the propeller
You can replace the original rotor propeller on your dragonfly if the original one
becomes damaged. A spare propeller is included in the FlyTech Dragonfly package.
To replace the damaged rotor propeller:
1. Make sure the controller and
the dragonfly are turned off
before removing the propeller.
2. Using a pair of pliers, grasp the
damaged rotor propeller and
pull it off the axle as indicated in the diagram.
3. Insert the new rotor propeller into the axle carefully, making sure it is secure. Be
careful not to damage the motor.
4. Turn the propeller manually to make sure it does not snag on the tail of the
dragonfly.
FAQ
The following is a list of frequently asked questions regarding the FlyTech
Dragonfly.
Q: My dragonfly won’t fly straight when I am flying it indoors! …
A: Your problem might be due to indoor sources of air currents keeping the
dragonfly from flying straight. Try turning off fans and closing air conditioning
vents. If there are open windows, try closing them to avoid creating drafts.
Q: My dragonfly won’t fly straight when I am flying it outdoors! …
A: You might be flying the dragonfly in conditions that are too windy…Try to
find a location that is sheltered from the wind, such as between buildings or in
a walled-off courtyard. For optimal operation, avoid flying the dragonfly in wind
speeds higher than 4mph (1.75 km/h).
Q: The tail rotor propeller on my dragonfly keeps spinning, and I can’t stop it! …
A: You have probably turned the trim dial. The trim dial controls the rotor speed.
Adjust the trim by slowly turning the trim dial on the controller until the rotor
stops spinning.
Q: My dragonfly stops working when it gets farther away! …
A: Your dragonfly is most likely out of range for the controller. The recommended
range for controlling your dragonfly is 50 feet (15 meters) or less from the
controller. To fully take advantage of the flight control, make sure the antenna on
the controller is fully extended.
Q: My dragonfly won’t stay up, even after charging! …
A: The batteries in the controller might be getting weak, in which case, you will
need to change the batteries. The batteries in the controller will usually last
about ten flight-recharge cycles. You should always turn the controller and the
dragonfly off when not in use.
