When you move forward and release the stick does the helicopter continue to move forward or does it level out?

A helicopter is an inherently unstable device. A coaxial machine would tend to self level. A collective pitch machine, not so much. It would continue to move in the direction of the stick input. Now we have to think about external influences like wind speed and direction, mechanical tolerances, friction, setup errors, etc. All these items tend to affect what the helicopter is doing. They will all act to make the helicopter do something else. That is why you always need to "fly" the machine. You need to apply slight corrections to keep the machine doing what you want it to do. Even with coaxial machines you will need to make corrections to keep it doing what you want it to do.

IT levels out pretty quickly when the stick returns to the center position. There is some momentum that keeps it flying forward briefly.

It keeps going , the only gyro it has is the tail lock which keeps the nose in orientation

Because of its size a 450 will have its inertia a lot more stronger than a smaller heli. There are a lot of pre calculations you have to make & practice before you get the 'hang' of it.

It depends on which stick you are referring to. If you release the cyclic pitch stick, it returns to dead center, and thus would send the corresponding signals to the servo motors, causing the helo to level out (or more likely, crash due to the untenable inputs). The collective stick on the other hand is not spring loaded, and will stay at whatever point you leave it. Regardless, as Whitehedr says, you must constantly "fly" the helo, neither stick can be left alone for long.

you do not level the swashplate on fixed pitch heli's like the v912, they need to be pitched to the right to make up for the torque from the blades, you only need to do that on collective pitch, set it back the way it was from the factory and enjoy!

When you plug in the battery on the copter it has to be level on the ground. That is how the gyro tells what is level.

If you press up/on it will fade up the last last set level. If you then press down/off it will fade out. If you press and hold up/on it will fade up until you release it. Same then for press and hold down/off. And I agree that visitors don't get it! But I love the fades.

The blades do not move. The toy only makes a noise that sounds like the helicopter is taking off/flying. As simple as that sounds, my 2.5 year old son has been entertained for hours with this toy.

It can do both - if on "self leveling" mode, pendulum will adjust itself to level and keep blinking until you have it leveled. If on "locked" mode, you can tilt the unit how ever much you want, and it will shoot the tilted line without leveling itself (and without blinking).

From what I experienced the gyro will level it out and it does fall straight down but it didn't slam.. But I have not fully tested this at higher altitudes. This little guy is very resilient to crashes.

Try pushing the steering stick all the way to the left or right right at take off. It should correct the spin shortly after take off. More than likely, you may have 'unbalanced' one of the sides of the helicopter and it tends to spin that way at lift off. I had the same problem with mine, so I just start with the stick pushed all the way to the right every time now, and it works fine. You may also have to crank the slip stream in that direction as well. Good luck.

No it doesn't, it moves to where they are supposed to go but there is no spring that returns the stick shift to the neutral position after you take it out of gear. It kind of just sits there. In real cars the stick shift springs to center below 3rd gear and above 4th gear. This makes it so when you go from 2nd gear to 3rd gear you just have to push the stick up, instead of up, then right then up again. With the springing to center you just push it up and when it gets to neutral it springs right by itself and you just continue pushing it up to 3rd gear.

It does but it goes up and down manually.. my daughter still loves it though and the house is worth what I paid. It will be a year this Christmas since we got it for her.

The trim adjustments on controller for pitch and yaw must be adjusted accordingly to keep helicopter level try to adjust as best you can

The last helicopter I bought says "3D Full Function Helicopter" on the nose of it & is a S107G. It is white. I have a yellow one which says just S107 & does not say "Full Function" on it. I can see no difference in how they fly.

Hi,Well it doesn't do that "technically" BUT what you need to do is just twist the angle of the stick, and it'll become horizontal. Hope this help :)

The throttle stick does not spring back when you release it. Stays in same position.

Yes. Handle stays still but stick is a number of parts that move independently. I love it!

No sadly it dosnt. They stopped progress on it due to bugs but it does have autopilot which means that it automatically stabilizes itself when you let go of all controls so it won't crash. That's a huge help but it doesn't have the return home chip in it.

Dear JollyJoel: I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. Also, because I bought the helicopter as a gift for my grandson. Sorry.
