RC Dragonfly

[ffutures]

Further to my post a few days ago, I finally got round to trying this today - it works, but either it's a bastard to control, or I'm a really lousy pilot. I've crashed it every time so far...

Apart from that it seems to work pretty well, but the connection for recharging it is dreadful - tiny and awkward. Can't imagine why they didn't use a jack plug, it wouldn't have added much weight.

I spent some time in a Radio Shack last Christmas playing with thier RC bat, I was getting close to controlling it by the end but it took a while. They had dragonflys too, the guy in the store (we were in America so he couldn't be a bloke!) said he had one of the dragonflys and it was a real bitch to control.

Haven't had a chance to try it in a decent space yet. In limited living room space it seemed to fly reasonably, but there wasn't enough room to tell how it would manouevre, nor to avoid stalling!
