How do i fix a spinning rc helicopter?

best 4ch mini rc helicopter image

Q. The model is ... Cobra 3 channel mini helicopter X107 with gyro. I know that the top blades are spinning faster causeing the issue. But how do i fix it?

Answer
the top blade always spins faster than the bottom one (same with big lama 4ch co-axial helicopter, had one... and always broke the upper blade) so here's what you'll do:

if the helicopter spins in a crazy way to watever side, then:

go to the receiver, next to it there is a mixer, like 2 knobs that you can put a screw on it and move it, look carefully and move the "Proportion" knob left or right until the helicopter stops spinning.

if it spins slowly then:

look your transmitter, it has like little knobs that you can adjust left or right, they're called "Trim tabs" move the trim tab from your rudder left or right until the helicopter is steady.

if that's not the problem then it might be time to replace the motor of the upper blade.

if that's not the problem, go to www.rcgroups.com create an accout, post this question there and folks with waaay more experience than me will help you out.

Happy New Year!

How do i use the RC helicopter/car in GTA liberty city stories?

good mini rc helicopters image

Q. I downloaded a game-save and in portland safe house garage theres a mini RC Helicopter and Car,Does anyone know if i can use them?

Answer
well in order to get the helicopter in the one mission where you have to kill all those celebrities before they get to the radio station you have to perch yourself right on a building next to the portland bridge on stanton island and the helicopter will fly through there and you'll be able to jack it like a car. but i've never heard anything about an r/c car.

Which mini rc helicopter is better? Air hogs havoc heli or havoc stinger?

usamonkeys

Which mini rc helicopter is better for controlling and which has a longer lasting battery? I wanna do stunts with it and fly it around the house. I can only choose between the Air hogs havoc heli or the havoc stinger.

Answer
They are both the same. The only difference is the design of the two helicopters. The Air Hogs Havoc is in a Helicopter shaped body and the Air Hogs Stinger is in a Stinger Bug shaped shell or body.... You can NOT do stunts with both helicopters because they are 2 channel helicopters. The only stunt you could do is probably spin in mid air. Both could be flown around the inside of your house but NEVER outside. They both fly about the same and have the same battery time. They vary helicopter to helicopter just by a few seconds. So it is all up to you. I personally suggest the Havoc because it looks more of a helicopter.

Have a happy flying with your future purchase!

Can I get into the radio controlled helicopter hobby for 200 dollars?

radio controlled helicopter image

david3flus

I am keenly interested in the radio controlled helicopter hobby. My question is this, can a beginner with no experience get into this hobby for around 200 dollars? I have seen compleat," ready to fly kits ", on eBay selling for as little as $117.00, new! " the Dragon 22E ". Which is an electric powered R/C helicopter, is this model a good beginners R/C helicopter kit ? The seller claims that everything needed to start flying is included in this kit package, is this true? Has anyone purchased this, or a similar kit ?
Since first posting this question, I have learned a lot about radio controlled helicopters. " THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AREADY TO FLY " R/C helicopter. You need to understand how to set up your new R/C helio, before that first flight, and it is also good to understand how the real thing flys," How Things Work.com is a good place to learn that ". You also need to be able, analyze what happened just before a crash," and you will crash many times", before becoming a top R/C helio pilot. You also need dealer, and company surport, + AFFORDABLE SPARE PARTS.

Answer
WOOOOOOO slow down man!!!Have you ever flown a R/C plane?You will never be able to fly a helecopter trust me.I fly the planes and they are extremely hard to learn at 1st.You could probably get a used one off ebay for that money,but i garunty even your local hobby shop guy will guide you away from flying a helecopter,you can also see if your hobby shop has a flight simulater,most do and try flying one one there.But if you've made your mind up and are going to get one i would suggest ebay or ..http://rcuniverse.com or http://rcjunkyards.com they have forums there to ask questions on ,also used rc items for sale.Good luck,and happy flying=)

Are any Radio Controlled Indoor Helicopters strong enough to carry a beer to me?

alien~

I thought it would be great if my spouse and I could transport bottles or cans to each other using one of those radio-controlled indoor helicopters or some other flying indoor RC type toy. Do you think they make one with strong enough lifting power to get that beer from one couch to the other?

Answer
No, but the real question is whether you think you're a good enough pilot that your spouse would want something with blades spinning that fast that close to his/her head/hand.

I need help choosing a rc helicopter to buy i dont want to need professional training?

Q. i have had 2 mini helicopters with auto stabliser but i want somthing more complex im also looking for something costing less than $300 (AUD) thanx for the advice.

Answer
I just recently got into the rc helicopters and purchased the ESky Lama V4. These mini copters are perfect for a beginner or novice who is looking for a unit that is easy to control. Another unit which is the sister to the Lama is the EFlite Blade CX and CX2. Both the Lama and the Blade are what are called coaxial units which give you effortless controlling. If you are looking for something a little more advanced, Both ESky and EFlite offer larger models that require a little more skill. All in all, most of these units will fall within your price range. Hope this helps!

will a 2.4 ghz rc control work with any helicopter?

mini rc helicopter 2.4ghz image

THISNAMEDO

I am going to by a large rc helicopter for the outdoors, but i already have a 2.4 ghz controller for a mini helicopter, and i was wondering if i buy a larger, non 2.4 helicopter if my old 2.4ghz controller would work with it. thanks

Answer
You pretty much answered your own question there. You stated you will buy a "non 2.4 helicopter" and if it will work with your old "2.4ghz controller". So the answer is no.
If you do purchase another receiver that you could bind your controller with and it is capable of handling all the controls that the helicopter needs, then it will work.

What should I get my brother and father for Christmas? Gift ideas please?

small rc helicopters for sale image

krich613

ok, so I need to know what to get both my dad and brother for christmas. My price limit is probably $20-$30 dollars each. My brother is 20 and my dad is in his late 40's. They both are huge michigan football fans but also have plenty of michigan things. they are also sports fans and exercise a lot. My brother goes to college and my dad is a business man.give me some gift ideas for them please. thanks a bunch and best answer gets 10 pts.

Answer
Get them a nice cologne! I'm sure both of you would enjoy it! Maybe Eternity by Calvin Klein? Or Acqua Di Gorgio? Maybe a nice 'For Men' cologne kit? Really, they WILL like it! I think Macy's still has their sale up too!

You could also get them like, maybe some roller skates or roller blades; get them into doing father son stuff.

Or some Swiss army knives! Any guy would like one of those!

Or maybe some tools? Like a small set of electric wood carvers and burners? They could build/make small plaques or carve then darken with the burn setting a picture! Get them creative! = )

Maybe if they like a certain TV show you could get them the first season?

You could start them on a hobby collection! Stamps, some rare coins... etc, etc!

There's always cool shark teeth pendants for guys!

You could get an African mask to hang in their room!

Or something from the Ed Hardy collection!

RC cars or helicopters never grow old despite your age! Get them that helicopter set where each helicopter is equipped with a laser. And when they are in the air the first helicopter ht by the other helicopter loses all power and falls to the ground! They also have that for tanks!

Or maybe two RC cars totally different from one another that they can race against each other to see which is the fastest!

Or maybe a nice pocket watch for each of them! With a cool design on the front!

Giftcards are always nice!

Do they use toothpicks a lot? You could get them a sleek silver toothpick holder with their initials engraved on it! That's what I got my brother in law last year! Here's the link: http://www.x-tremegeek.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=11481

Do they have a favorite candy? You could get their favorite candy in bulk at Amazon! I'm getting 5 lbs of sour patch kids this year!

Maybe some small 5 or 10 pound dumbells to go jogging with?

Once again, have a Merry Christmas and I hope you finally find something to buy them! = )

What is a good kind of toy helicopter?

mini rc helicopter toy image

Me, again

I want to get a toy helicopter for my husband and want to know if anyone has any experience with some that aren't those cheapy mini ones or ones that fall apart. I am willing to invest a little bit of money for quality... any advice?

Answer
Hi meagan,
Good for you for wanting to get something that cool for your hubby. :)
I have several RC helis, and the first question that gets sent back to new people asking questions is what is your budget.
Next would be where are you going to fly it?
There is such a huge range, from $100-almost flyable models to $3000 killer stunt monsters.
Small electrics you can fly in your living room to nitro powered smoke spewing helis that are only usable at a dedicated flying field.
There are co-axial models (two rotors) that look a bit less like a typical helicopter, but are amazingly steady and easy to fly.
There are single rotor helis that are much more capable, but much harder to fly.
I have linked some good forums where you can read a lot more about which models work well for people. Read a lot. Ask a lot of questions. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.
Good luck!

Which RC toy should I buy for my little cousin on his birthday?

Shingo

It is almost my little cousins' birthday and I want to buy him a RC toy. He is turning 8 years old.

Since he lives in Oregon in a small town, there are plenty of open land to play with this type of toys.

Here are two of the many stores that I've looked at.

I like this store because it has many choices.
http://www.rctoys.com/

I like this store because the prices are more reasonable.
http://www.squarehard.com/Store/home.asp?home_id=39&b=1


What do you think?

Answer
I wouldn't recommend going to www.rctoys, their prices are a bit too high. You can find better prices else where. The most popular rc toys are those helicopters, especially those mini ones because those are almost unbreakable (I have one myself, and they are a lot of fun to play with and learn), they're pretty much perfect for little kids (8 and up) or beginnings. They recently just came out last year. You should look into the 2-channel ones, those are for beginners, and much more fun than those rc cars, if there is a lake, rc boats would be fun too. Try going to www.togostuff.com/2chhe.html, I got mine there, not wide selection but they got the most popular ones and shippment was fast.

What all can you do in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and should I get it?

best value mini rc helicopter image

Q. I have a Ps2, and I was going to get Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Gamestop sells this game for Ps2. It's made for Ps2.

What all can you do in this game, and should I get it?
Thanks G! :) I don't really like Star Wars tho, but thank you =D
Thanks everyone :) I don't think I'm going to get it. Doesn't sound that fun as Gta 4. Think I'm gonna get a different game. Thanks anyhow =)

Answer
Its a game with class.

You would find that the sequels have more content, like San Andreas, for instance. However, the game's atmosphere is unique, the world feels "alive" and the music is great, if you like rock.

Here's what you can do:

-Buy property (some areas are given to you after completion of a mission). However, you cannot enter most of the properties' interior (some, just not all). You mainly buy them so that you can hold vehicles in your garage. Some properties are unique, and give you benefits for owning it. For instance, some spawn weapons, unique vehicles, and even give you side missions to do...like drive a ice cream truck around.

-You can dress your character up in different outfits. Its not like SA where you can choose different glasses, hats, shoes, shirts, and pants. You will find these outfits around the game, most for free last i recalled.

-Like all GTAs, you can play the role of a...
*police officer
*ambulance driver
*Taxi driver
*firefighter
...and several other jobs. Like SA, you can collect cars from the world and bring them to a chop shop to make money. You can also race in organized street races.


-There are mini games, like racing RC cars, RC planes, RC choppers, and RC boats.


-You can fly sea planes, helicopters, and drive boats. However, you cannot swim and will drown if you touch the water. There are also a mass variety of vehicles. If you've played any of the later GTAs, you may recognize all of them.


-There is a shopping mall. The mall, itself, is a mini world with a fair amount of things to do.


-There are cheats. Not as good as SA, but the basics are there. Unlimited ammo, full health, change the public's appearance, and "flying" cars.


NOTE- Cars don't actually fly, but more-so glide. Building up enough speed will cause them to fly for a short while. If you activate this cheat before attempting to cross to the other side of the city, you can easily glide over the barrier. The barrier is about 15 feet tall, invisible, and nothing bad happens if you cross over. In fact, you can buy property, drive the better vehicles, and exploit the other side of Vice City if you manage to cross early. Keep in mind that dying over there lands you in the hospital on the beginning side, again.


2nd Note- Don't activate the flying cheat and enter a helicopter. The game will freeze the moment you close the door.



The game is a true gem for its time. It may not be the best-looking or gameplay-enhanced game ever, but like mentioned...it holds class, something most games nowadays miserably lack.


REPLY:
I would reconsider, if I were you. It may not be the biggest game, but its cheap and a true GTA experience. You cant skip playing this game if you're a GTA fan. Its very much worth its value, and IMO has the most class out of ALL the GTAs.

RC Helicopter Help!?

krautpiero

I recently got a RC Helicopter, Bladecx made by E-flight. I watched th video, read the manual, but i still cant figure out why my helocopter always tilts forwards or bac, or left or right. Can someone help me?

Answer
I too have a Blade CX, and I had no idea these things were so hard to fly (without crashing). If there are any nicks in the blades, a slightly bent balance bar or main shaft, or even the battery slightly out of position it will throw the flying characteristics off. There is a procedure for balancing the motors, where you adjust potentiometers on the 3 n 1 unit to get the trims closer to perfect, and it is in the instructions. Don't give up, helicopters are just plain more difficult to fly. Just try to be light and smooth on the sticks and take your time. I raced RC cars, trucks, truggies, minis, etc and the Blade CX was still an entirely new experience for me, and I'm still not an adept pilot, but I am getting better, and so will you.

why does my RC Mini helicopter 9098A not work?

mini rc helicopter battery image

Toast It

I bought my nephew an RC mini helicopter the, 9098A with Gyroscope.

The leds on the heli work, bought new batteries for the Remote, and yet I cant get it to fly.
We try ed for multiple times. The manual says I need to get it gyro scoped with the ground. I try ed this and yet it does not work!
Can anybody please tell me how I can get it done so It flys?

Answer
if you haven't flown it in a while or charged it in a while, it could be junk because not charging it in a while could destroy the battery or motor. try taking it back to where you got it from, and get a new one with your receipt. hope i helped!! =}

What kind of rc helicopter should I be getting?

Chance

My dad is going to be getting me something for Christmas, $85 limit. I want a rc helicopter. Ive only had cheap walmart ones before, so i need some expertise. Im wanting a namebrand fairly decent sized helicopter that will be able take some minor crashes. I did a little research and it seems that the Align T-Rex 250 is decent. Any ideas? Remember I have $85 to spend, including taxes and shipping.

Answer
I wouldn't recommend the Align T-Rex 250, and it's over the budget anyways? The smaller the helicopter, the more crashes it can resist, and the cheaper the replacement parts are. Just the battery looks like it's 3 times more expensive than a mini helicopter, and you will need extra batteries if you would like to fly for more than 10 minutes.

Do you have a radio/controller already? If you do, you could buy the BNF version of the helicopter and it will be cheaper. If you don't, then look for the RTF version that comes with a radio/controller.

The Blade MCX RTF is $80 at Horizon Hobby
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/blade-mcx-rtf-EFLH2200
It's a coaxil heli, so you will have to fly it indoors and outdoors only when it's not too windy. It can take a good beating, better than the t-rex, and the parts are pretty cheap.

These 3 are some I have looked at while I was doing research about rc helicopters when I wanted to purchase one. These are fun, you won't be able to do 3D tricks with them though. It depends how many channels was the one you had, these are 3 channels and good practice.

The Syma S107 is $27 at amazon. It's a beginner helicopter, but it's small and reviews say it does good in taking crashes (4 out of 5 stars).

The Helizone Combat fighter 3.5 Channels looks fun. It's $36.99 on amazon, and you can look up videos on youtube.

The Syma S107C has a built in camera, and it's $39 on amazon.


I purchased the Nano CP X BNF, and a DX6i receiver, and depending your age and experience, this is not a beginner one. But it's just something to look for in the future if you want to get into the hobby. The heli cost me $160 online, and the reciever/controller (DX6i) cost me $70 USED.


You could also suggest to him to look on craigslist for used ones, don't be uptight about it and demand a new one if your father can't afford ones over $85. I bought the DX6i for my boyfriend from craigslist, and it came in original box and everything, for less than half the price, and he loves it anyways. You could find a used Blade MCX or MCX2 for a really good price, and if it's from a person that looks like it's their hobby, it will probably be very well taken care of.


you or your father should check out this forum's for sale threads:
http://www.helifreak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6

you can also feel free to ask questions on there, or check out the "newbie" section for advice, there has been many people also asking for a beginner heli, so you can read the responses.

Don't try to get a "professional" type helicopter because for those you need to make a bigger investment than just the helicopter. For an advanced heli you need an advanced radio, not the ones it comes with, and you will need to purchase a simulator to practice on because crashing the helicopter will cost you a lot of money!

Goodluck and have fun :)

HELP! What rc helicopter is good but not too expensive?

mini rc helicopter outdoor image

lotrGurl23

I am a beginner and want to find a good remote control helicopter.

1. I want it to be able to get of the ground,
2. have a reasonable flight time in between charges
3. be reasonably easy to learn how to fly it doesn't have to be too simple I have a brain :)
4. flies straight when you want it too and not just in circles
5. This is not as important but it would be really nice if it had full range of motion (forward, back, right, left, up, down and possibly hover)
6. If it does crash preferably it won't shatter into a jazillion pieces maybe a gyro would keep it from crashing I don't know enough about them to know

I don't want one too big. Indoor is preferred to outdoor, but if it does both that's obviously fine too :). I've read that a "hobby" standard coaxial mini helicopters are better than "toy" helicopters because if something does break you can replace parts. On the other hand I'm NOT made of money so a $80 helicopter for fun is far out of my budget.

If nothing like this exists sorry to waste your time, but I'm hoping some rc helicopter junkie can read this and have a solution. I tried googling it, but I don't know enough of the terminology to find what I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

i need to know a good rc helicopter to buy?

mini rc helicopter longest flight time image

Tyler C

i have some experience in flying rc helicopters, and i want to move a step up to a good 3d rc helicopter ( one that can do loops and rolls ) please post the link to a site if you find a good one..........any help is appreciated

Answer
I have just recently ventured into the RC Helicopter world. For my first heli I decided on an ESky Lama V4 which is what they call a coaxial heli. It has two sets of main blades stacked on top of each other turning in opposite directions & no tail rotor. It offers up & down(of course), sway left & sway right, forward & backwards, and spin left & spin right. After researching them a bit I found that the coaxial heli is perfect for beginners and novice pilots due to the controls being very easy to learn and master. This unit came with a flight simulator that allows you to fly right on your computer using the actual remote for the heli. It also came with a training kit to help aid in first time flights and landings. All this cost me about $85.00. It is a nice sized heli for still being considered a mini. It measures about 16" long and about 7" tall.
There is a another helicopter made by EFlite called the Blade CX and CX2. These are very close in comparison to the Lama but with a little higher price at about $120.00. Both are very nice helis and look great! Also both of these helis are easily upgraded to allow for individual tinkering and likes if your brother decides he really likes the RC helicopter as a hobby. Oh, I forgot to mention........ both of these are electric helis and can be flown indoors as well as outdoors. Hope this helps!

I have no experience in flying a RC helicopter. i want to buy a helicopter that is NOT MINI, that is EASY TO FLY, has a long flight time of AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, and that can be CHARGED BY ELECTRICITY.

What model is the best mini RC helicopter? For indoor use...?

cheap mini rc helicopters image

linzter

What model is the best mini RC helicopter? I want it for indoor use, and would like it to be able to hover. Of course battery life and operating time are also factors.

Answer
I bought the Air Hogs Apache Havoc Heli for my fiance, it was $25 on sale at Toys R Us, it comes with a little target that you can shoot with a laser. The target is shaped like a satellite, it blinks and make noise etc. It is a pretty cool toy, the charge runs down after a while but he has never been very bothered by it. The only thing I hate is that hair will get tangled in the tail rotor and it will break, but you can get replacements by calling their company that are cheap. It hovers well, the turning is a little hard but you get the hang of it. I also bought him the UFO one, but it is not as fun even though it has cool light up action. So, that is my review of that although I haven't played with any others.

A question on how to make an RC Airplane controled by a PC?

DELETED

Okay so I always wanted to do this, what do I need to make a RC airplane controlled by a computer and has like a camera attached for feedback? Is it possible to get mini jet engines? Is it possible for me to make a RC plane hover? If so how?

Answer
These things are all possible with enough $$. For example, check out http://www.cloudcaptech.com. The stuff is expensive, but it does what you want.

There are mini jet engines in the world, but they are extremely expensive, heavy and complicated for an RC aircraft, and they fly much too fast. I think what you really want is something that *looks* like a jet engine but is really a propeller. Those are called ducted fans, and they are small, cheap and easy to get from any RC model shop.

Any RC plane can hover if it has enough power--just point the plane straight up and give it throttle. If thrust>weight, it can hover. Hovering with the nose level (like a Harrier) is harder--it would require a dedicated lift fan, which I've never seen on an RC plane. In principle it could be done, though. But why not just build a helicopter?

How do i fix a spinning rc helicopter?

mini rc helicopter problems image

Q. The model is ... Cobra 3 channel mini helicopter X107 with gyro. I know that the top blades are spinning faster causeing the issue. But how do i fix it?

Answer
the top blade always spins faster than the bottom one (same with big lama 4ch co-axial helicopter, had one... and always broke the upper blade) so here's what you'll do:

if the helicopter spins in a crazy way to watever side, then:

go to the receiver, next to it there is a mixer, like 2 knobs that you can put a screw on it and move it, look carefully and move the "Proportion" knob left or right until the helicopter stops spinning.

if it spins slowly then:

look your transmitter, it has like little knobs that you can adjust left or right, they're called "Trim tabs" move the trim tab from your rudder left or right until the helicopter is steady.

if that's not the problem then it might be time to replace the motor of the upper blade.

if that's not the problem, go to www.rcgroups.com create an accout, post this question there and folks with waaay more experience than me will help you out.

Happy New Year!

RC HELICOPTER EXPERTS!! THIS QUESTION IS FOR YOU!?

Bob

I just ordered a Syma S108. They look very fun and cooler than the S107. What your opinion? Should I have bought the S107 for $22 or the S108 for $30?
Thanks God Bless.

Answer
i have never heard of this model however after looking up the model i can tell you this they are both mini / micro helicopters.
these micro helicopters are ones that are marketed towards people who are new and or just want a cheap helicopter to try out the hobby without sinking much cash on a helicopter. its also smaller and can be used in small spaces compared to full size helicopters. this model should be easy to fly due to its design.

in terms of s 107 vs s 108 they are pretty much the same and you would not see much difference.

the 107 has a larger battery though and could fly for a few minutes longer.

i would say the s108 is a good choice if your only spending like $30

is this your first helicopter?

if its your first helicopter and later your interested in something more challenging or larger you could go with something like what i did for my first RC helicopter that was above the lower entry level. if your interested in something priced a little higher but could perform better.

this is what i did with my first helicopter.

I own a thunder tiger mini titan e325 3d its electric and i found it easy to assemble( having never done it before)

i liked it and with help learned to fly using it.

you can find this helicopter at many sites

tower hobbies is a good place to buy from
http://www.towerhobbies.com/#

theirs lots of other places you could buy from too.

i would go with electric to start off. gas can be more complicated.

word of advice don't just buy the helicopter find someone willing to teach you how to do it without destroying it.

sometimes they can even help you set it up.

local RC clubs may be able to help you get more info on the hobby.

trust me get help learning so that you don't crash.

its a great hobby and once you learn can be great fun!

so the 107 and 108 are not to different. i wo
