Note:
If one of the rods breaks off where it meets the rod socket, and a piece of
the rod becomes stuck inside, you can push a sewing needle through the socket
from the other end to dislodge the piece of broken rod.
Install the new pair as illustrated, by reversing the instructions for removing the
damaged wings. Slide the first pair of wing rods into their sockets, and then hook
the rear part of the wings onto the hook at the end of the thorax. Repeat for the
second pair of wings.
Replacing the propeller
Note that adult supervision is recommended when 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.
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 1.75 km/h (4mph).
Q:
The tail rotor 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 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 in the controller. The batteries will usually last
about ten flight-recharge cycles. You should always turn the controller and the
dragonfly off when not in use. Note that as you use the dragonfly, the battery
strength in the dragonfly will get and the play time will shorten over time.
