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.

Beginers RC Helicopter?

I'm looking into buying my first Heli, I have been advised to start with atleast 4 channels.

I was looking at the Esky Honey Bee CP3

What do you guys reccomend I start out with, Nitro or Electric.

I have a budget of around £100



Answer
I would definitely stay away from Nitro as a beginner. It adds a whole level of complexity to the hobby. There are so many great starter Mini Heli kits out there to get your feet wet. Get a small one so when you crash it (and you will), it will be cheap to fix and not a huge financial loss. Check out these kits:

why is it so hard to fly this mini rc helicopter. can anyone give me any tips or show me a vid so i can learn?

Answer
Sorry you're having difficulties... but as Super-Sabre said, helicopters are difficult to fly... fixed-wing fliers love to refer to them as a collection of parts flying in close formation.

I'm not an RC guy, but I AM a former helicopter crewman with 5000+ hours in the back and 224 hours flying up front.

The FIRST (and hardest) thing to learn is to hover: Apply power to get the bird light on the skids while applying tail rotor to keep the nose pointed straight. Raise the bird to about 2 feet.... and hold it there using SMALL control inputs. Next you learn to raise it to a stable hover and TURN the nose left and right to the major points of the clock: 3, 6, 9, and noon. Next you learn to side-slip the bird around a box (lets say with 10 foot sides).... first, pointing in ONE direction, and then with the nose always pointed inward.

I wish I could find a video, but I'm not an RC kinda guy... just a former pilot. GOOD LUCK

Is the Syma S107 mini RC helicopter easy to fly?




NOLAsoccer


Is it?


Answer
Its easy to fly indoors with no wind. If flying outdoors, it'll be challenging with the wind & cross winds.
