I'm want to fly my helicopter around my city and control it from my pc


Answer
The radio control box you use now can be linked with software to a computer. Do a Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=transfer+os+to+another+computer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#hl=en&client=firefox-a&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&sclient=psy-ab&q=rc+helicopter+control+by+computer&oq=rc+helicopter+control+by+computer&gs_l=serp.12..0i13i30.62657.62657.2.65224.1.1.0.0.0.0.125.125.0j1.1.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.e4-v4YJr6zI&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=f4422cad1e203d45&bpcl=38897761&biw=1272&bih=610
You will need a high gain dish antenna to track the helicopter if you wish to fly farther than 300 feet from the control station. And with a GPS on board, the copter would be preset to return home if the link is lost.
For video link from the rc helicopter: https://www.google.com/search?q=transfer+os+to+another+computer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#hl=en&client=firefox-a&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&sclient=psy-ab&q=video+link+from+the+rc+helicopter&oq=video+link+from+the+rc+helicopter&gs_l=serp.12...64897.64897.3.71770.1.1.0.0.0.0.166.166.0j1.1.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.NaN05bHGy7E&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=f4422cad1e203d45&bpcl=38897761&biw=1272&bih=610

I have seen such RC helicopter video systems used by law enforcement, military battlefield intelligence, and professional motion picture cameramen on TV shows about technology. Now there are miniature electric copters with wireless video cameras on them for indoor use. You can fly around hallways and rooms with them. Some are inexpensive. http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/blade-mqx.html
Wireless security camera weighing a couple ounces is here: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Wireless-Color-Camera-Microphone/dp/B000YM2OIK
You can input the composite (RCA jack) video into a computer with a video capture device on USB, but I would advise against it--might not work well with the radio control. You can use a portable TV like from Viore that will show the video well.

Where can I find an wireless camera transmitter and reciver for a 1/10 scale Traxxas Slash RC car?

Can I take a cooling fan from an old computer, attached RC helicopter rotors to it,and give it enough downward thrust for vertical lift? Thanks.


Answer
Its possible but difficult and even if you do get lift, its going to be difficult to control as you may not have the proper items to keep the helicopter from hovering properly
Try this instead - its already being done:

Need a mini wireless camera with a monitor! Where can i buy?




SweetAsBro


I need 2 of them as i need them to be able to be attached to my RC helicopter. Anyone know where i can pick 2 of them up with there own monitor?


Answer
Sounds like you just need a wireless pin-hole camera system. Try a YouTube video search: 'RC helicopter video camera'. Many of the posters state what cameras they are using.

Also do a google search with the same words. I found dozens of results.

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.

Q. Just curious before I get the game.


Answer
There will now be killstreak packages, for a varied killstreak system.
Assault package: For getting kills.
Support package: To help your team-mates. (Doesnt reset after death).
Specialist package: Get another perk every two kills. (After enough kills you have every perk in the game).

Assault-
3: UAV
4: Care Package
5: I.M.S. (Bouncing Claymore)
5: Predator Missile
5: Sentry Gun
6: Airstrike
7: Attack Helicopter
9: Strafe Run (Helicopter Run&Gun thing)
9: Little Bird (Helicopter Bodyguard follows you)
9: Reaper (improved predator)
10: Drone (RC Drone with mg and rocket)
12: Ac-130
12: Pavelow
15: Osprey (AC 130 Gunner)
17: Juggernaut (Juggernaut armour + weapon)

Support-
4: uav
5: counter uav
5: Ballistic vests for team
5: Care package that explodes if enemies steal it
8: sam turret
10: Tiny RC helicopter to remote target enemies for team
12: advanced uav (blackbird)
12: rc sentry turret
14: stealth bomber
18:emp
18: juggernaut armour for team
18: escort airdrop (Osprey plane drops 4 care packages, 1 carepackage bomb and lays down fire to protect them
25: MOAB (Mini nuke, (Kills everyone, emp effect, no enemy killstreaks for 1 minute, 2x Exp for rest of match)).

In COD: Black Ops, what are the each killstreaks, and what do they "get" you?




Gaurav A.


I know I'm asking a lot of question about Black Ops, but I just wanna know


Answer
3 Spy Plane - UAV that detects enemies
3 RC-XD - A remote control car that detonates when you pull the trigger
4 Counter spy plane - Blocks the radar from enemies HUD
4 SAM Turret - A placeable turret that attacks enemy aircraft
5 Care Package - Airdrops a random killstreak or ammo crate (has some unique unattainable killstreak rewards that you can't actually earn without using the care package, like a mini gun that has 500~ bullets that kills in 2 or so shots [fires really quickly as well but limits movement].
5 Napalm Strike - Air strike that covers an area in Napalm (Fire that instantly kills anyone in the blast + kills anyone stupid enough to walk over it)
6 Sentry Gun - Deployable Sentry gun.
6 Mortar Team - Lets you target 3 separate areas on the map to mortar strike
7 Attack Helicopter - A helicopter you place on the map that attempts to kill enemies.
7 Valkyrie rockets - Gives you a rocket launcher which you can move the rockets midflight ( 3 / 4 shots I think? don't remember exactly)
8 Blackbird - Enhanced UAV that shows exact locations of all enemies for the duration continuously (instead of the spy plane strobe that occasionally detects enemies) that also shows enemies using Ghost perk.
8 Rolling Thunder - Calls in a directional bombing airstrike
9 Chopper gunner - Calls in a helicopter where you are the gunner.
11 Attack dogs - Calls in a pack of attack dogs (Kills people in 1 hit rather then 2 like in WaW)
11 Gunship - Calls in a helicopter which you control both the guns and flight. Can also use missiles from the heli.

Answer
You could get a 2.4 Ghz Pinhole Wireless Color Camera with audio for about $300. But at that, it is no guarantee your helicopter will fly with it. That seems like a small helicopter and the flight weight seems like it could barely fly with 7 ounces. I would suggest getting a slightly bigger helicopter first.

Answer
The hardest part is finding something small enough to work with your helicopter. Most of the miniature spy cameras run on a 9 volt battery.

Is your helicopter strong enough to lift a 9 volt batter? How about two of them? You could try taping two batteries together (do NOT connect their terminals). If you can fly that around, you can probably find a good spy camera to use.

If you can't lift the batteries, then the costs for a wireless mini camera is going to go WAY up. Getting super tiny cameras is quite expensive.

What is the best beginner RC helicopter? ?

 on OLD Fast Lane FA-005 heli review (OUT OF DATE)
the best mini rc helicopter reviews image






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

How do you remove the main rotors on a CML Mini Vortex RC Helicopter?

mini rc helicopter not working
 on ... S107G-RC-METAL-HELICOPTER-MINI-GYRO-REMOTE-CONTROL-HELICOPTER-USED-200
mini rc helicopter not working image



Phil


Hi, a while back I bought a Mini Vortex heli from a model shop, and one of the main rotors has broken. I bought a replacement rotor but I don't know how to remove the main rotor and fit the new one. I have searched all over the internet but have found no answers.

Do you know how to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! =]



Answer
good question... I dont know either... but seeing how the it is designed, you might need to take out the top rotor in order to do the bottom one, or just the top one if you broke the top one. Anyways... you say you have the replacement rotor. Look at what needs to be connected in the new main rotor and work backwards. Anything that needs to be connected in the new main rotor, take it apart from the helicopter itself and then figure it out. sorry, this is the best I could do... I dont have any good photos on the internet for me to see... maybe if you took some I could see.

S107 helicopter wobble problem please help?




me


Ok so after flying the s107 for a few days and some minor normal crashes it wobbles whenever I try to fly it. Even when i barely increase the throttle (to where it wont go up and you can turn it around on the ground) it just starts to tip over. When I try to actually fly it it will wobble for a few seconds until the blades catch each other and it crashes. I have had this problem on two helicopters now and I don't know how to fix it.

I have tried adjusting the little knob (sorry I don't know the proper name for it as I am not a pilot) and it doesn't help. I have made sure that the blades are tightened too.

It has not been in any severe crashes to where something would break. I have noticed though, that the top blades connector piece can move (like a teeter totter). I am wondering if there was a little plastic piece that has broken and fallen out.

Also this started happening to my first mini rc heli (which looks exactly like the s107 but doesn't have a model number and a different style front plastic piece.) This one has been flying for months and has had some pretty nasty crashes.

Please if you have a fix for this it would be very appreciated if you would tell me. Thanks!
here is a link to a video showing the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3Y7_H1NOts
The second helicopter is a Falcon 3.5CH



Answer
Your blades are out of balance or the upper blade locating ring is damaged and the assembly is no longer concentric.

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:

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

What kind of rc helicopter should I be getting?

best mini rc helicopter review
 on RC Helicopter Reviews | Best RC Helicopter Reviews
best mini rc helicopter review image



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 :)

BcRich145


I purchased a syma s107 last month, and im having tons of fun with the little thing indoors. Now i feel i'm ready to move onto a larger, outdoor rc helicopter( to be flown in slight wind ). For the money, what helicopter is best for a beginner? I've been looking on my own and theres just too many for me to make a decision.. I want to try and get the best heli i can for the money (<$150).


Answer
I have heaps of mini helicopters especially the Syma S107- I also have the Syma S032 which is the bigger brother and is not infra red remote so flies out side on a calm day.

It really gets down to how much you might want to spend- If you start going into the hundred dollar mark plus you can not beat Nine eagles helis and of course models from Walkera. First consider cost if you are going to single coaxial blade helicopters they are considerable harder to fly and getting a simulator from Say Ebay for $20 is well worth it as you can practice on your computer. You see one is going from a 3 channel helicopter (syma107) to 4 and 6-7 channel helicopters which have lot more movement hence control gets harder.

I got a Walkera Dragonfly 4G6S 6CH Metal RC Helicopter with a brushless motor for $300 now I know that is more than you want to spend,however my advice is I know once you fly a 4 channel helicopter you will wish you had spent a bit more money to go the full hog as you will be totally hooked, The difference of spending $300 to $150 for a rc helicopter is enormous-built really well many spares available and easy to repair and made of high quality materials,also the remotes can be $200 on their own which are supplied with say the Dragon fly and can be binded with other helicopters.

In your price you can not beat the Skyartec NINJA 400 CCPM 6CH RC Helicopter for around $170- I have put some links to where I buy my helis below-hope that helps.
