This model arrived today. A friend had purchased it for £30 and I must say I am not impressed. It is slightly larger than the average indoor helicopter but that is about it's only plus point. I certainly do not think it is worth more than £20, however I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. It claims to be a 3.5 channel (.5 channel adjustable motor speed) but I have been unable to test.
What's good: Nothing I could test, maybe colour?? Metal chassis cheap but well painted plastic. Looks fairly well built from outside. Nice packaging.
What's bad: After unpacking and charging it the first attempted flight had to be aborted. The bottom rotor set failed to spin and made a grinding noise indicating no motor engagement. I stripped the helicopter down and was able to use a gear puller to align what was left of the motor gear with the main drive gear pinion.
Fabulous I thought I made fixed it, not. The helicopter now would take off but would not hover, just do large round motions like it was skimming the bottom of a bowl. I have seen this before in my Syma S107G and the problem is the top rotor pivot pin. Stripped this down to see 1/2 of it must have been missing since the factory. Using my modeling skills I removed what was left of the plastic pin and replaced it with a small custom metal pin.
Great now it can take off I thought. Yes it could but still was totally uncontrollable. It now appears on top of everything else the Gyro does not work at all. I have told my friend to return it to the shop but he is refusing. His loss not mine, he didn't want advice in the first place.
Conclusion: Seriously the worst helicopter I have come into contact with. Cheaply built and simply doesn't work. Don't be fooled by the bling colour it is a total load of rubbish.

hey.. i had bought this helicopter...
ReplyDeleteand i am facing a problem..... plz at least try solve my problem...
problem :-
after buying i had gone for flight(my 1st rc heli flight
and played till the battery of heli discharges....
bcoz of my first flight heli crashes some times.....but stilll heli was
running very well at that time....!
but when go to my 2nd flight (on 2nd day ) when i up the throttle key
the heli didint respond...{my blades are in best condition and crashes didnt affect my blade}
what to do ? i tried all keys..but still the blades are to giving any sign of rotation
The transmitter has a button of light control ..[the button switches of the light of heli]..
but lights of heli are not being off....
i think that the sensor is not working...
SO plz suggest a solution ..what should i do..?
Faced with the same problem. charged fully heli, but it does not respond to push on throttle bar, making lights on instead of rotation of the blades.
