I just ordered a Walkera Dragonfly 22E off ebay ($83 + extra batteries & main blades) and it should be here by the 13th. I know it's not the greatest but it's all I could afford and it's a start in the sport. Enough history though, as a total newbie I want to have a kit ready for when I have problems. Anybody have advice on what should be in it? A range of mini screwdrivers, extra tail blades maybe? Oils anything? Again I am totally new so I have no idea, I'll bring 10lb sledge if you say I may need it.

Thanks in advance.

Kind of an open-ended question really.
It's a bit like asking what should be in your garage.

Everyone has different needs and will take different tools to the field, depending on how much bling you have, or how badly you may want to tweak/repair or generally maintain your heli in between flights.

Pop along to the field to see what others carry, it will give you an idea of how much/little is needed. Depending on your heli you may need specific items that cannot be borrowed (in an emergency)

I consider a portable field charger case like the mini-electrify one, or the larger Goldberg Electric field box, a must.

These permit you to have a full charging system on hand.

That way you can field charge your batteries which results in more flight time.
