Answer
the s107, it's a really good mini helicopter, it's on amazon.com, just type s107 in search and you'll see more info there, it comes in yellow, red, and blue, you can control the direction, forward, backward, and the height, the thing that controls the direction is circular, so u can go in every possible direction, you can turn while going forward or backward, or just turn, you know what i mean, its a really good quality rc, check it out.....syma s107
its like 40 bucks with shipping and handling

hope i helped
also i think i should mention that those widly mass produced helicoptors are just plain bad

Answer
I have had alot of experience with mini copters. I can say that 99% of the time the spinning issue is caused by several factors.

1. hair(s) just one hair wrapped around the tail rotor can cause it not to fly correctly. Check for hairs and strings , threads , etc.

2. the trim issue takes ALOT of time. It is digital so it needs several seconds to actually register into the processor bs so it can fine tune itself and set itself. Do this very , very slowly. It will take at least 5-10 minutes.

3. The battery connector harness is so tiny that if it is not plugged in snuggly and all the way in, it will cause it not to charge correctly. Try to verify it is snug by wiggling the harness a little. If it is too tight then it is not set correctly. If it is too loose then it needs to be pushed in harder.

While these are some common remedies there are others too.

Feel free too review my other questions I answered for some more info on micro R/C copters.

Feel free to email me for more specifics too.

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

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.

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.

why does my SYMA S018 3Ch RC Airwolf Mini Helicopter keep spinning out of control?

Jullius

IT KEEPS SPINNING OUT I TRY TO TURN IT BUT IT SPINS LEFT!!!!!!! ALL OF THE THINGS WORK THE TAIL ROTOR WORKS AND THE MAIN TWO ROTORS WORK FINE AND THE BALANCER IS STRAIGHT. PLEASE HELP

Answer
copters fly because the top rotor spins ( a big spinning wing)

the drag on that reacts back through the power system and tries to turn the whole ship in the opposite direction

the tail rotor provides a smaller force at a longer distance to provide the counter torque

something is wrong in the tail rotor power or thrust

how can i stabilize my mini rc helicopter?

Jesse

i just got a new mini rc helicopter, and it keeps spinning when i get it into the air

Answer
It is very difficult to stabilise a mini rc helicopter. You can try adjusting by giving more power to the tail rotor in the opposite direction of the spin.

What rc helicopter is good but not too expensive?

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. I found something called a "E-flite Blade mCX" off of a blog and it sounds awesome but the cheapest I can find it is $60 which is still far out of my budget :\. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Your in luck, there is a mini RC helicopter does fit your criteria pretty well.

Its the Syma S107 mini electric RC helicopter.

I've had mine for some time and I love it, its great fun and easy to fly. Its a good beginners helicopter.
If it does crash its got a metal frame and is pretty durable. Mine hit the ceiling, the desk, and the dog, and it just keeps right on going.

If you get it online you should be able to grab one for around $30 bucks. Thats it.

You can read a full review and see a video of it flying right here:

I hope you try the s107 you wont regret it!


Happy Holidays--

Cheers
