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.

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

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

How does a Mini RC Helicopter work?

Chaz

I understand the tail rotor on a "typical" rc or real life helicopter is used to counteract the torque of the main shaft propeller, but that is not the case on a mini helicopter. The rear blade is set up horizontally (controlling pitch), so how does the helicopter stay steady (question 1) and secondly, how does it rotate left and right...this just boggles my mind! Its an small RC Hog Heli w/ two main rotor blades btw.

Answer
The 2nd rotor goes counter to the main rotor, which cancels out the torque. To make it turn left or right the counterrotating 2nd rotor is either slowed down to make it turn one way...or sped up to make it turn the other way.

The helicopter can only hover when both rotors are counterrotating to each other the same speed. Vary the speed at all of one of the rotors and then the counterrotating forces are no longer equal and the heli turns in the direction of the lacking torque

how to repair mini rc helicopter tail rotor?

silverback

it keeps spinning counterclockwise

Answer
If the tail is moving in the same direction that the tail rotor is blowing, then increase the pitch of the tail rotor blades. If the tail is moving in the opposite direction that the rotor is blowing, then decrease the pitch of the blades.

I bought a mini rc helicopter and it worked fine for 3 weeks.
After that the small rotor at the back of the mini rc heli stopped moving..
Would appreciate any help or i should return it.
Thanks

Answer
you should try to unscrew the whole thing an see what the problem is.....broken wires

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

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.
