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

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 Volitation Mini RC Helicopter won't lift off the ground?

Isaac

My top rotor blade and my equalising lever aren't spinning, therefore it won't lift off the ground. I only got this today so I'm not happy that its already broken.

Answer
First question, is it fully charged?
Secondly if it is fully charged make sure the batteries in the back of the remote work
Thirdly try pushing the throttle up and down slowly, if that doesnt work make sure the antenna is pointed at the Helicopter.
Fourthly sometimes the batteries in the helicopter dont charge propely the first time, so charge them over night and try again.

My new Syma S.026 mini Chinook RC helicopter spins out of control on takeoff. please help?

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.

why wont my mini rc helicopter fly outside?

Neil J

no its not the wind. im talking about the copter doesnt react to the remote like it does inside. outside theres more of a delayed reaction. tell me why is that?

Answer
It is because your helicopter most likely uses infrared technology.
So when flying outside...
It does work, but the signal is just shortened. The range of an IR signal is usually limited to around 30 feet or less. Infrared, also called optical control or opti-control, requires line-of-sight, that is, the LED on the IR transmitter must be pointing at the IR receiver in order to work. It doesn't see through walls. Depending on the strength of the IR signal and interference from sunlight or other infrared-transmitting devices, the range may be shortened. These limitations make IR unsuitable for RC vehicles intended for long-range flight, outdoor racing, and other activities where it may be difficult to stay in range and within line-of-sight.
So... now you know... Let me explain what you might see when you go outside and try. When you go out, you will try to fly your helicopter. It will work, but after a while, itll start flying by itself, and youll lose contorl. It will work, its just that your range is incredibly shortened.

Now, if your helicopter had an antenna on it, and it isnt using infrared technology, then it is most likely due to interference. but I doubt it.
Does your remote look like this:

something like that with a red thing on top? If yes, I answered your question properly.

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 :)

What is the best beginner RC helicopter? ?

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

whats the best micro and mini sized heilcopter with the best gyro?

spartain00

and is about under a foot and at lest have replaceable parts or upgradeable parts

Answer
I always try to steer people away from cheap Chinese junk like Syma... But I have to admit the price is right. Just keep in mind that this is really a disposable helicopter. The quality control is horrendous and you will get no support from the manufacturer. Yes, some spare parts are available, but the design and engineering that goes into these cheap toys leaves a lot to be desired. As a for instance, the speed controls on Syma copters do not have any sort of LiPo cut off, so it can be very easy to ruin the battery.

For just $30 more you can get a true hobby grade helicopter with real manufacturer support if something goes wrong. For micro look at the Blade Scout: http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/blade-scout-rtf-3-ch-heli-BLH2700

For mini's, you have a lot more choices. Align makes some really fine helicopters, as does Blade. In my opinion, one of the better quality of the minis:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/2_382_707/products_id/220852/n/Align-T-Rex-100X-Super-Combo-Electric-RTF-Micro-Helicopter-Kit

Here is a list of quite a few micro's and minis:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/index.php?cPath=2_382_707&n=RC-Helicopters-Kits-Micro-Mini&sort=prl&filter_mfr=

Lastly, I would suggest purchasing a copter at a local hobby shop. That way you'll have local parts support and won't be waiting for the mail to arrive with a replacement part. You can just drive down the road and pick it up the same day if something breaks. A broken copter sitting on the workbench waiting for parts isn't much fun. Not to mention almost every hobby shop will have a knowledgeable person behind the counter to ask questions!

RC mini helicopter trimming?

ImAguy

I got a mini rc helicopter today, not sure of the brand. I think it is called a super battleplane item number 8817. and the trimming doesn't seem to work. I can not get to to fly streight. Any ideas/ suggestions?

Answer
I bought two of those Super Battleplane no. 8817 helicopters, and one of them has the same problem you describe. The other one does not do anything. It appeared to charge up properly, but does not respond whatsoever - after trying all possible switch settings - no action at all. So the day after Christmas, I returned to the mall where it was purchased, and of course, the vendor is gone. Fly by night. There is no warranty on the product so I guess I have no recourse. Chalk it up to experience. Caveat emptor. I'll keep trying the trim and tail adjustments on the one copter that's not DOA.

Fast charging Mini RC Helicopters?

Agitator

My little brother bought himself a mini RC helicopter, which once fully charged flies around great for about 10 minutes- then needs to be charged again. The only thing that's disappointing is that the little helicopter needs to charge for 40 minutes in order to fly for 10 minutes.

His birthday is coming up and I wanna get him a helicopter that will charge quickly, or at least quicker than 40 minutes.

Any suggestions?

Answer
Don't get a junk helicopter like airhogs. They won't last a day. Get a blade mcx, it's lots of fun, very durable and easy to learn to fly. It's a quality helicopter, but the standard charger will take about 40 minutes to charge. However, you can buy quick chargers that will charge it in much less time.

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

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.
