my little brother just got the rc dragon fly thing. Its ok and all but its not the best.....pretty tricky to fly....but still pretty awesome
-
Yeah when I saw the video, I thought it looked pretty difficult to fly.. I've played with cheap RC planes and helicopters before and those are already pretty difficult to control properly, so a dragonfly.. :-\
-
yea I heard that they fly ok when you first get it, but it wears out and becomes harder to fly over time.
I also heard that it flies better without that attachable tail ribbon that comes with it . . . but I havent verified this myself yet.
When I get back to the states my coworkers have two I can play around with.
I know you can buy them now on the west coast, but does anyone know if they sell them on the east coast yet?
and pics I took of the insides if you are interested:

I've seen them on sale at Radioshack in Pittsburgh, so yeah I think they're sold on the east coast now :D

I'd love to test fly the dragonfly, they're not out over here in the UK yet.
It's flying looks pretty bug-like, closest I can get to one is these videos: http://www.techtakeaway.com/vids_cesfly.php (http://www.techtakeaway.com/vids_cesfly.php)
