Default Dragonfly upgrades

I want to get a 120 degree swashplate for my Feda Dragonfly and i've looked on Helihobby.com but details are quite sketchy about 120 degrtee swashplates, one that i saw had to be assembled by the user and as i have no prior experience with this, i don't really want to do this. Does anyone know of a better swashplate and will a 120 degree swashplate really improve the stability?
Thanks,
Josh

120° swash from helihobby would be for the conversion of the HB F/P to C/P using hornets parts, that would take a serious modification and would cost you ~$195.
I've ordered the aluminum swash and seems to help in the stability compared to the original swashplate.
120° swash won't be needed unless you go with the CP conversion.

These little toys are pretty unstable by nature. If you are looking for a more stable beginner heli, stop buying upgrades for your little toy and save for a Corona.
I have some regrets in buying a dragonfly, over-all cost of upgrades is like buying a Raptor.
I was even planning of buying B/L motor but instead I decided to save for the Logo 10, I got all the accesories need and only need the kit itself.. it's just I could not justify to the wife as my surface r/c are becoming more of a shelf models.. She told me that she will only allow me if I could purged those stuff. [sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]
