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.

Which Micro Collective Pitch RC Helicopter is better?

Jon

Looking mainly at 2 nano CP Helicopters, the Blade Nano CPX and the Walkera Mini CP 6. I've heard good and bad about both, if anyone personally owns either of these Heli's can you give me some of your own list of Pros and Cons? Also I have only flown FP Heli's and heard the Micro class is best to learn 3D flying. Thanks!

Answer
actually I own both Walkera Mini CP 6 is better in my opnion Walkera is beter

Things I like with the Mini CP.
1. The landing gear is separate from the frame.
2. Servos are mounted very secure and are very close to the main shaft
3. RX mounted vertically. No foam between the RX and frame mount.
4. Canopy mounts with two separate CF rods.

About the Blade Nano CPX
The Cool
Price is great
Cheap and easy repairs
Incredibly durable, lasting and fun to play

Not cool
Charger does not come with power supply (typical)
No brushless motors stock

What kind of rc helicopter should I be getting?

mini rc helicopter blades 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 :)

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!

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.

Why does my RC helicopter spin in circles?

mini rc helicopter blades 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.

The tail rotor on my Mini RC helicopter broke and I have a replacement but I need help.?

seth w

I have the replacement, but when I put it on, it spirals out of control. If I look at the original and the replacement, they look identical!

What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Answer
You need to make sure you have the tail rotor oriented correctly. It is possible to install a tail rotor backwards in some cases, which would just make your heli spin like crazy.

I could give you a better answer if I could see/knew exactly what type of tail rotor you have. However, generally the tail rotor must blow air to counter the rotation of your main rotor blades.

E.g.:
- if your main blades rotate clockwise
- tail rotor pushes the tail clockwise also

This stops the tail's tendancy to rotate counter to the direction of the main rotor blades.

Alternatively, depending on the type of heli, you may have issues with your tail gyro adjustment, tail gyro direction setting, or tail servo linkage adjustment.

Hope that helps
