mini rc helicopter spins out of control image



CGI03


They won't take it back they claim that i broke it. I did crash a few times but not from height or to fast because i cant fly it so i cant really crash it


Answer
Where did you buy it? If you bought it online, then you can't really do much but have it as a paper weight. If you bought it at a store, then you could pull what they pulled on you and purchase another helicopter and put the broken one back in the new box and say your child doesn't want it.

As for chinooks, the mechanism used for it to fly is very advanced. There is no guarantee these are going to be 100% perfect for every helicopter especially if it isn't an expensive hobby helicopter. The company "Syma" is not a company that you would want to depend on. Read the manual and follow the directions. That is all I could say.

how do i fix my mini hughes 300 fairy rc helicopter?

mini rc helicopter will not take off image



Jeffery


my helicopter wont work. when i turn it and and press the forward stick the blades spin for half a second then stop, can somone tell me whats wrong and how to fix it?


Answer
Hello. Sorry, but you bought a cheap rip off helicopter from the actual PicooZ or Air Hogs Havoc. The Mini Hughes 300 is poorly made. You may have a receiver chip error or some sort. It can not be fixed unless you know your stuff. So... I would suggest returning it.

my mini rc helicopters wings are working but not flying in air how should i fix it?




SHLOK AVHA


imean my rc helicopter is made to fly but now its not flying.first i used to fly it.but now lower most wings r not catching speed.


Answer
this is a common failure in ALL mini rc helicopters...

your motor burned out, the main motor so the headspeed cannot reach enough speed to take off.... sorry man but you can't fix a burned motor unless you buy a new one but i don't know where you can find such motor because you know, they're not common...

try ebay... dissasemble the helicopter carefully, and see if the motor has letters, then put those letters on ebay and see if they have it...

What is the best beginner RC helicopter? ?

mini rc helicopters parts
 on review of the Syma S108G Mini Helicopter
mini rc helicopters parts image
Q. I bought a double horse 9100 and I think it is way to advanced to for me. What do you guys think? I already cracked the head cover and a decorative bar is gone (does that matter?) I have flow a mini in door helicopter and that is too easy and I need something to start with that is under $100. Please help I really want to get into this hobby but I've gotten way over my head.


Answer
HI there,

If you find the mini heli too easy i suggest you start with a 250 sized heli. that is not too big, can be flown indoors and even outdoors on easy days.
You could start with a 4 channel (not 3d).

In my experience this is a very good heli to start with:
http://www.rc-heli-review.com/rc-heli-reviews/walkera-hm-v200d02

Easy to fly, very easy and cheap to repair in case you crash it and there are lots of spare parts availible. ALs very strudy model so won't break down on a soft crash.

Good thing is that it's even flybarless wich makes for a superiour flying experience.
Make sure you get the hovering under control before you go all out on the sticks.

It's a little more expensive (150 dollars) but i'll last you a long time before you grow out of this model and you won't break it that easily. If you really want to get into this hobby start out with this one and then after a year you can always upgrade to something bigger and more agile.

Good Luck

would the transmitter for 4CH 2.4GHz Mini Radio Single Propeller RC Helicopter Gyro V911 RTF work on a BNF mcx?

Q. BLADE mxc2! I want both helicopters but want to save money. Who doesn't?


Answer
Not unless the V911 tx has spektrum technology... this is part of what makes Blade products so great. Where you save money is buying a good tx like the dx6 and then buy the bnf helis that will bind to that.

What RC heli should I buy?

mini rc helicopter design image



Tactical


I'm 15 and I wanted to get an RC helicopter. I've only had one mini helicopter before but I want to get an Intermediate helicopter, because I'm buying it with my own money and it will most likely be a one time purchase. My budget is only $200.00. I only want the single rotor design (Not coaxial). It needs to be durable and perhaps fast. Also, I would like it to be able to go backwards, forwards, side to side, up, down, hover, and turn left and right (for some reason I think that's called 6 channel). If you could also help me with my terminology, That'd be great. Thanks!


Answer
For 200 dollars, you could get an airhogs, but they're for little kids. search for local hobbystores near to you and see if they have something like that.

Simple Model Helicopter???




jjlucash


If I were to take a battery-operated rotary motor (from one of those pocket/mini fans), and attach large model helicopter blades to it (in order to compensate for any weight from the body of the helicopter), would it lift off the ground?

Better yet, let me rephrase: If I were to take a battery-operated rotary motor, and attach large model helicopter blades to it, would the model lift off the ground?

*The model will have a tether so I won't lose it.
I haven't built anything yet, but for now, I want the model simply to go upward.



Answer
Radio Controlled (RC) helicopters are model aircraft which are distinct from RC airplanes because of the differences in construction, aerodynamics, and flight training. Several basic designs of RC helicopters exist, some more maneuverable than others (such as helicopters with collective pitch). The more maneuverable designs are often harder to fly, but benefit from greater aerobatic capabilities.

Flight controls allow pilots to control the collective and throttle (usually linked together), the cyclic controls (pitch and roll), and the tail rotor (yaw). Controlling these in unison enables the helicopter to perform most of the maneuvers an aeroplane can do, and many that aeroplanes cannot, such as hovering and backwards flight; in this manner, they are quite similar in operation to full-sized helicopters.

The various helicopter controls are effected by means of small servo motors. A piezoelectric gyroscope is typically used on the tail rotor (yaw) control to counter wind- and torque-reaction-induced tail movement. This "gyro" does not apply a mechanical force, but rather, electronically adjusts the control signal to the tail rotor servo.

The engines used are typically methanol-powered two-stroke motors, but gasoline, jet turbine and increasingly electric brushless motors combined with a high-performance lithium polymer battery are also used.

Is there a penalty for shooting down the newly instated government helicopter drones?

A Politica


Now that the government is sending out mini helicopter drones to watch citizens, does anyone know what the penalty for shooting one down would be?


Answer
The U.S. has quit pretending to be a nation of laws. If you shoot down one of the government's or a contractors drones, they will kill you. Already been done. The little hovering drones are deployed in groups.

You are better off building a radio jamming device to disrupt them, but keep it moving around. Be advised that if one crashes on your property, it will cause a toxic chemical problem. Don't touch it. Stand up wind when it burns, then use a shovel to bag it and take it away. Dump it in an appropriate location.

How do i fix a spinning rc helicopter?

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!

 on Mini RC Helicopter Package Deal (Mini Hughes, Apache and Raven)
the best mini rc helicopters image
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!

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 :)

Why does my RC helicopter spin in circles?

mini rc helicopter spins image



Jessica


when i was playing with my RC Helicopter it fell and it couldn't rise anymore it just spins in circles... the module type is Vision SO10 mini 3... pls help!


Answer
In a coaxial copter like yours, the tail rotor serves to pitch the copter to go forwards or backwards. The coaxial blades spin in opposite directions to counter act the spin force that a tail rotor would otherwise handle.

What this means for you is that one set of blades is spinning faster than the other, causing the bird to spin around. If you have a trim adjustment on the throttle stick, you can use it to make one motor spin faster than the other. Or, to balance them out rather.

small rc helicopter motor image



PAULVOLIO


I have been awy from rc flying for a while now.
I am not sure which channels to plug the servos and speed control on the reciever.
I have ailerons elevator and throttle.



Answer
The receiver should have small letters by each plug in- thr, rud, aile, bat and such. If there is no label or worn off, then a common order is first bat, then thr, aile, ele, rud, aux. The airplane motor battery or main battery plugs into the esc. or speed control, then the wire out of the esc. plugs into the rud (rudder) slot of the receiver. If you know the brand of radio/receiver, there are lots of online manuals you can download. You can go to horizonhobby.com and bring up pictures of receivers to study also. What a great hobby, I have airplanes, nitro and electric cars, trucks, and several helicopters and what a challenge they are. Now go get er' flyin' !!

How to build a flying alarm clock?




Darius


Ok this question is really challenging. Think about it like this; take how a alarm clock is made and how a remote controlled helicopter is build and both those together. I need to know all the matirials for building it and the cost. Finished product I want is a alarm clock that flys. Thanks Also u can just take how an alarm clock is made and add the consent of a R.C helicopter


Answer
Buy an RC helicopter kit for a fairly big model - upward of 5cc motor. Build that. Fix on a small electric alarm clock by taping it to the superstructure and you have it. There's no point in trying to fuse or integrate the two technologies - they're not related. Look up kit prices on internet - here's an example:

whatis the difference between 3channel and 4channel rc helicopter?




Lito T


this is for hobby , remote control helicopter


Answer
Hi Lito,
A typical 3 channel heli has throttle, yaw and pitch.
Throttle makes the heli go up and down.
Yaw makes the heli turn left and right.
Pitch makes the heli lean forward and back (making the heli fly forwards and backwards).

A 4 channel heli adds roll.
Roll makes a heli lean left and right (making the heli fly sideways to the left and right)

That addresses your question, but I recommend this additional reading:

I've been a lover of ship and aircraft models for most of my life. But after seeing a Mi-24 RC model in action, I'm pretty interested in adding that to my collection. I don't have much engineering know how, so I feel that I need to buy a kit of some sort, but i can't find a place that sells them. Is it nonexistent or am I bad with google?


Answer
Its C. None of the above. Not all helicopters are scaled and made into an RC helicopter. Some people may have done it and you may have not found it. But that doesnt mean you did a bad job with google and its search engine. You could check Tower Hobbies or Horizon Hobbes. You could also try making it yourself. Thats how it is done. But usually if you have to start small with electric helicopters and work your way up to scaling and making your own helicopter body for the RC helicopter.

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




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! = )

Right now i was looking at the New Esky 2.4G Nano RTF 4 Channel Mini Helicopter. is it good? like i said i have no idea so please help!


Answer
I've been wanting to buy one of those for a very long time. Based on my research, it's best if you get one that uses at least 3 channels with gyro. Also, make sure it uses RF radio and not Infrared because infrared won't work in direct sun light and you have to be within a relatively close range of the heli for it to work. Read the reviews and buy something durable or else your money is down the drain. Also, check on the battery life and whatnot. If the seller says the battery lasts for 10 minutes, it probably lasts 8 minutes.

How do I win a solar car race?




awesomenes


I need to know what is the best set up and vwhat techniqiues I should use,man. Come on I realy ned dis.
I need to know how to win a race with a mini solar car.I know that you have to make it light but I need other info.



Answer
If you are talking about a small size (as in toy car sized) solar car, then skip the batteries if you will be racing in an area that has full sun exposure. Use the the most efficient light weight solar cell available, and use a high efficiency motor (the type used in mini RC helicopters). If you need to use a battery, use the type that is used in cell phones and mini sized RC vehicles.... lithium polymer batteries (aka lipo batteries). They require special care, so be careful with them to avoid a fire, and read about them before you buy them.

Hobbies for a sixteen year old boy?

small rc helicopter kit
 on How Turbine RC Helicopters Work
small rc helicopter kit image



Dante'


I'm 16 very athletic and play video games i was wondering what hobby i could start. Something that will consume my weekends. I was thinking either like lego building , making an rc helicopter, or something very technical like that. It also needs to not be expensive like around the $50 range.


Answer
Lego is probably too expensive. A decent collection probably has at least 10,000 bricks, and with each costing about $.10 each, the cost racks up fast.
If you have a good computer, you could get involved in programming, animating, or digital art. There are loads of powerful open-source programs available, so these can be free (at least, money wise) hobbies. However, expect to spend hours on the computer working, probably more time than you intend.
Another choice is Arduino. Arduino is a open-source programmable micro-controller, which makes circuitry really easy. If your're interested in making all sorts of cool things, this is the route to go. The basic kit costs about $30, and it's website has plenty of tutorials to get you started. However, components aren't very cheap, so you may want to consider this one carefully.
If you're restricted to a small amount of "computer time" each day (2 hours or less), you may want to choose a different route than the ones listed above.
Drawing is quite fun, and the results can be stunning. Be warned, there is a massive learning curve. You'll fail a LOT before you get good, so prepare yourself mentally. It's well worth the time.
All of these hobbies can be very rewarding, but you should always take care to leave time for school, work, friends, and yourself. Don't become a potato sitting in front of a screen. It's better to have a social life than have a cool hobby.

What Training Gear should I get for this RC Helicopter?




Mr Boe


The helicopter is called a Esky Kob 4CH Co-axial Remote Control Helicopter, a link to it is here:
http://www.nitrotek.co.uk/esky-kob-4ch-co-axial-rc-heli-2-4ghz-version.html

The problem is if you look at the skids on this helicopter will any sort of training gear fit on it? Or would it have to have special gear?

Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you :)



Answer
A small training kit will be suitable for KOB, eg.

http://www.myrcmart.com/training-kit-for-coaxial-200250-class-helicopter-ping-pong-ball-p-53.html

However, you need to tie up the skids + training kit by:

http://www.myrcmart.com/cable-tie-20pcs-wire-tie-strap-white-3x150mm-p-2684.html

But it is not recommended to load the training kit on your helicopter all the time because the motor will run out faster since the training kit would increase the total weight.

Where can i find five foot long rc helicopter blades?

small rc helicopter youtube

small rc helicopter youtube image






Me and a friend are building a giant scale UH-60 Black hawk. We have the tail rotor blades, but we cant find main rotor blades big enough. We could get them custom made, but that would cost more than the $130 that we have to spend on blades. Your help is appreciated. Please be specific!


Answer
I have heard of movie business pros using 7 foot long body rc choppers, but the biggest I have information have 810mm blades.

www.bergenrc.com/

You are almost into real helicopter territory, this company supplies small blades, with 6 foot blades starting at $675/set

www.vortechinternational.com/

If you had a few grand more you could look into a turbine engine

www.pstjets.com/


Here's an old home built design with plans

And a strap on hilo prototype that cost perhaps $15,000 to $30,000 to produce

Is the air hog havoc heli a good copter?




trevor


So I saw a helicopter called havoc heli. It's the one where u can adjust the little fin on the black stick. So is it a good plane.


Answer
Well the Havoc heli will work but in the long run, your gonna want something better. Don't waste your money on the little Airhogs stuff that break after a period of time. The heli I would recommend would be the E-Flite Blade mCX! $79.99 RTF(Ready to Fly) so there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you need to complete the package. But here are some terms in case you need to know them. The Black Stick is called the tail boom, The little fin you could call the tail fin so that's ok. The Heli that i am recommending is 4 channel which means 4 functions. On the Havoc, you only have 2 which is Up/down, Rotate(yaw) Left/Rotate(yaw) left. That's it. The mCX however is 4 channel so it can do the functions the havoc can do and it can go Forward/Backward and move Side/to Side and it's a much better design and it's actually a real heli. Even though it's the same size as the havoc, it's far bigger in it's possibilities! I know $80 might sound a lot but you will LOVE it GUARANTEED! I have been in this hobby for about 3 years now flying gas and electric and trust me you will love the mCX. So the website you get QUALITY stuff is at HorizonHobby.com and they are having a sale that when you buy one Ultra Micro(the mCX is called ultra Micro because it's small) but you can get $10 back so it's really $70. Don't get BNF because that's a little cheaper but it doesn't come with the Transitter (Remote but it's really called transmitter) so you need your own DSM2(Technology the heli uses) and you probably don't have one because they are about $150 and up and so you should really get the RTF because it comes with everything. Please don't get havoc as it will break in a few days of arrival. The mCX also comes with better warranty, protection(cardboard box that you store the heli in). Many people get Quality stuff and end up having a much better time with it. The heli is made by the company E-Flite which is a very good company and is very reliable. They also make heli's for people who are looking for the next step which is the Blade mSR but that's down the road. The mCX is a better choice for someone who hasn't flown a professional RC Heli. Good Luck with your choosing and I really hope you get the mCX just because it will do you much better in the long run. Anyways, you can check out my YouTube channel which is Rcflyyer1 and I have videos of RC Planes and Helis. If you go and visit your local hobbyshop, they will tell you mCX is the best or they may tell you the Scout is better (3 Channel Helicoptor) but my mCX has never let me down :)

awesomenes


I need to know what is the best set up and vwhat techniqiues I should use,man. Come on I realy ned dis.
I need to know how to win a race with a mini solar car.I know that you have to make it light but I need other info.



Answer
If you are talking about a small size (as in toy car sized) solar car, then skip the batteries if you will be racing in an area that has full sun exposure. Use the the most efficient light weight solar cell available, and use a high efficiency motor (the type used in mini RC helicopters). If you need to use a battery, use the type that is used in cell phones and mini sized RC vehicles.... lithium polymer batteries (aka lipo batteries). They require special care, so be careful with them to avoid a fire, and read about them before you buy them.

looking for a mini rc helicopter?




shor_d_ing


i used to have a cheap mini rc helicopter and it was not very stable. it quickly was misplaced.
the other day a friend was playing with his new mini heli and it was extremely stable and easy to fly. he said it was a syma. i don't know what model but it was the metal frame.

im wondering if there is any other helis like this out there that are better, his budget was 50 bucks where im willing to spend more. any suggestions?



Answer
DUDE you have to check out the Z-Series Z008 Micro Helicopter w/Gyr !! this is a bad a$$ mini helicopter!! with LED lights

http://www.jatoytown.com/Z-Series-Z008-Micro-Helicopter-wGyro--As-low-as-3382_p_108.html

Its 4ch and VERY VERY VERY stable in the air with an all alloy body! Those cheap plastic 2ch and 3 ch helicopters are very unstable in the air.

This one on the other hand is one of the most stable I have seen for its size. With the hover blades you can even move it side to side which is awesome for a rc helicopter.

the retail on these are 89.99 but tell you what. use coupon code clist30 and that will give you 30% off the entire order which will make that helicopter around 60.00 which is a killer deal for that brand.

There is even a youtube video there on how that little guy flies. Check it out and let me know what you think..

There are other helicopters there too but as far as best mini one, this one takes the cake.

Hope this helps

resean25


my helicopter every time i fly it will fly up in the air and stay their for a second and then willl just spin out of controll and fall and i wanted to know is there anything i can try?
Ps> I got the hair out of the taill rudder and it still does the same thing and i dont want to spend more money on another if i dont have to so can anyone plez help me. Thanx



Answer
Which heli is it? That will help us help you.

If it is one of the bottom end 2 channel helis like the Picco Z or the Havoc, then besides hair, there are 2 more things that will cause this.
1. The tail blade has a crack in it. It inly takes a very small crack to make the tail less effective and it spins. Most models come with a replacement tail blade in the package.
2. You have a defective heli. Of the 30 or so models that I and my fellow RC club member purchased, fully 50% failed in the way you describe, out of the box.

You can also ask on the dedicated RC heli forums:
http://www.rcgroups.com/micro-helis-42/
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Electric_RC_Helis/forumid_167/tt.htm

Good luck!

Air Hogs Indoor R/C Havoc Heli - Silver/Blue/Black Channel A


u-Control Silver Bullet Mini RC Helicopters



Answer
Get the silver bullet. I have one, and it comes with a repair kit consisting of replacement propeller blades and pieces. These things tend to break at least once, so it's good to get the one that lets you fix it. If you want customer opinions, they are there on the links you posted, so they should know pretty well what's what. There are always varying opinions though (some say it is hard to control, but I have no control problems).

I'd go with the silver bullet, anywho. It's a more advanced model than the other helicopter.
